Anne-Sophie has a very large & immaculate house. Herne Hill is an idyllic gem of a place 10min from the centre of London but holds on to a small town friendly feel. The family friendly Brockwell Park, with a regenerated Lido, is a stone throw from her front door. Brockwell Park holds a plethora of events happening throughout the year well worth a visit. She and her family make you very welcome while keeping a respectful distance. We joined her family for an delicious 2 course evening meal which was filled with the Gaelic charm of our French host with home baked bread and cake. The beds are very comfortable, with extra pillows available on request, with clean crisp linnen. The en suit shower room is worth a mention all of its own. It has a soft close lid for the loo, an electronic waterfall sink tap but the shower is the piste de resistance with a choice of waterfall, rainshower or handheld to suit every mood. There is a small balcony accessed from the room that has an enchanting view of red top roofs and Victorian chimneys with a Church spire in the distance a pretty scene for any budding artist. Anne-Sophie is a generous, honest and wise woman and my visit was much the richer for our evening chats while my daughter slept.
