On the Cobbles

On the Cobbles: Greater London

With its peaceful mews location, it's easy to forget just how conveniently close you are to Central London during your stay in this welcoming home. With its charming cobbled street outside and seating looking out over the cul-de-sac street, we're struggling to think of a more idyllic spot for your stay in the capital.

The treasure trove of Portobello Road Market, the wide-open green spaces of Hyde Park and the upmarket boutiques of High Street Kensington are all within a short walk. In addition, the proximity to Paddington station and a selection of three Tube stations within a ten-minute stroll opens up the rest of the city, as well as options for exploring further afield.

Back home after a day of discovery, the lavish living room is a delightful space to put your feet up and stretch out with a good book, while the sleek lines of the contemporary kitchen are guaranteed to please any aspiring home cooks. Finally, a pastel-hued main en-suite bedroom ensures a good night's sleep, with a comfy sofa bed in the second bedroom for groups of up to four.

Home truths:
*The home has two levels of living space, with stair access only, so it may not be suitable for guests with more limited mobility.
*Access to the home is via a private entrance.
*You won't find a manual or handbook for this home, but your host should be on hand if you have any issues.
*The dining table and kitchen island double as laptop-friendly workspaces.
*With excellent public transport links, we'd recommend against bringing a car.
