Virginia is a wonderful host. The converted coach house, designed and renovated by her husband and architect Pierre, has a great mid-century aesthetic. It is comfortable, light and well appointed. Chiswick train station is a few minutes walk and there is a very handy general store at the end of the street that is open late. The river is a seven minute walk and Chiswick High Road, with loads of shops and cafes, about 15 minutes. A really delightful place to spend a few days. Highly recommended.
