We arrived to find that Cliff kindly saved us a parking space and welcomed us into his interesting and cosy home. The loft space is just great, light and spacious, beautifully decorated, with a large private bathroom. Everything we could need for a comfortable and pleasant stay 3 night stay was available, including fridge space and the use of the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Harrow on the Hill is the view from the back of the apartment, and it's lovely with beautiful architecture and quaint little cafes and eateries, (as illustrated in Cliffs photographs) don't be put off by the hill, we needed to stretch our legs on arrival and the brisk 15 minute walk up there is worth it, we wholeheartedly recommend 'The Castle Pub' for food, you will pass it on on the uphill walk from the house, lovely friendly staff and amazing food cooked fresh with local produce, a great gin menu and plenty of local ales, better than any chain, treat yourself.
Harrow on the Hill Station has an easier flat 10-12min walk to catch a Metropolitan Line Train into London, but on an evening we detoured back up to Harrow on the Hill as it's away from the traffic and shopping centre (much needed respite from the Underground) it takes you through lovely residential streets and also gave the option to eat in the village, although we ended up going back to 'The Castle' on a second occasion as it was so good.
Cliff is very welcoming and attentive, an interesting conversationalist, who obviously loves company but allows you your privacy. We are only sorry we didn't get to meet Dinusha who was in Sri Lanka this time with her children. Perhaps in the future? We would happily return if we travel to this area again.
Thank you Cliff for an extremely pleasant stay.
