charming, charming, charming

From the moment I stepped in, I was enveloped in the warm, homely atmosphere created by the lodge's vintage decor. The room was spacious and meticulously clean, featuring stunning antique furnishings that made my stay incredibly comfortable. Waking up to a delicious, personalized breakfast lovingly prepared by Edwina was the cherry on top of an unforgettable experience.

100% recommend ❤️🥰

Plush carpet and a lovely cat made my stay! The breakfast options were hearty, but the shared dining setup felt a bit cramped. a cozy experience! 😊

Edwina created an unforgettable experience with a hearty full English that set us up for the day, and her hospitality made our stay feel extra special. The location strikes a perfect balance with quick access to delightful restaurants, like The Albert Arms just a stone's throw away.

Just a heads-up, public transport to central London can be a bit of a slog, often taking around 1hr 20min, but the lovely charm of the lodge more than makes up for it. While there’s not a ton to do right on the doorstep, I reckon it’s a fair trade-off for comfort.

The unique vintage decor and garden views from the dining area created a charming and inviting atmosphere, enhancing the feeling of home.

The stairs leading to the rooms were quite narrow, making it challenging to navigate with larger luggage.

Edwina, the host, creates a warm atmosphere with her personalized service. The location is quiet yet conveniently close to Hampton Court. I loved the variety of breakfast options, especially the delicious full English. The room offered plenty of tea and coffee facilities, which was nice. The mattress was perfectly firm and comfortable. the stairs to access the room are quite narrow, making it challenging with larger luggage. I also noticed some old stains on the bedding that were washed but still present. A better sign outside the house would help guests find it more easily. The lack of clear communication about some facilities was a bit disappointing, too.

Charming vintage decor, but the steep stairs were tough with my suitcase.

The homemade breakfast by Edwina was a delightful highlight, offering a variety of options that catered to different tastes.

The lack of clear signage outside made it difficult to locate the lodge at first, which could be frustrating for new guests.

Consider asking for breakfast customization, as the host is known for tailoring meals to guest preferences, enhancing your dining experience.

Enjoyed our stay with four kids, especially loved visiting Chessington World of Adventures! The cozy family room was just what we needed, and the breakfast was hearty and fulfilling, keeping us energized for our busy days.

My kids wished for more activities at the lodge.

The stay offered a quiet atmosphere, with spacious accommodations featuring antique furnishings. The full English breakfast was abundant and thoughtfully prepared, complementing the pleasant experience. the narrow stairs could be cumbersome for larger luggage, and the location, while charming, required a bit of a commute to central attractions. A clearer sign outside would help future guests find the place easily.

Cozy charm with warm hospitality!

Had a lovely stay! Edwina went above and beyond, helping us with dinner bookings and allowing us to store our bags. The in-room breakfast was a treat, especially the homemade pastries. Just wish the stairs were a bit easier for carrying heavier bags, but the vintage vibes totally made up for it!

perfect place for exploring parks and landmarks on foot

During my stay, I really appreciated how close I was to both Claremont Park and Black Pond, making my city strolls delightful and peaceful. the suite was beautiful and comfortable which truly made it feel like a home away from home.

Good free wi-fi and outdoor dining area. no pets allowed was a downside.
