First Impressions
The Spacious 3BR Home Huge Garden Free Parking isn’t your typical hotel — it’s actually a proper family house that feels like staying with friends who happen to have excellent taste. Located in Strawberry Hill, this three-star property sits in one of those quiet residential streets where you can actually hear birds instead of traffic. The moment you pull up (and yes, there’s genuinely free parking right there), you’ll notice the garden they mention in the name — it’s not just marketing fluff.
The Space Itself
Honestly, calling each bedroom a room feels like an understatement when you’re dealing with proper British house proportions. The master bedroom easily fits a king bed with space to spare, while the other two work perfectly for kids or friends who don’t mind sharing. What I really appreciated was the full kitchen — not some sad hotel kitchenette, but an actual space where you can cook a proper meal if you want to skip another pub dinner.
Location & Getting Around
Strawberry Hill might sound like somewhere from a Jane Austen novel, but it’s actually perfectly positioned for exploring both London and the surrounding area. The train station is about a 10-minute walk, and you’re looking at roughly 30 minutes into central London — which honestly beats dealing with city center traffic and parking fees. Plus, you’re close enough to Richmond Park that an early morning walk among the deer becomes part of your routine.
The Garden Experience
That huge garden they mention? It’s the real deal — think proper English garden with enough space for kids to run around or adults to sit with a coffee and actually relax. During warmer months, you’ll find yourself spending more time outside than you planned, especially if you grab groceries and decide to have breakfast al fresco. There’s something quite nice about having your own outdoor space instead of fighting for a table at some crowded café.
Why Guests Love It
The thing about this place is that it solves the classic London accommodation problem — you get space, you get free parking, and you’re still connected to everything without paying city center prices. Families particularly love it because kids can actually move around without disturbing neighbors below, and parents can cook familiar meals when needed. I mean, after a few days of trying to navigate London restaurants with tired children, having your own space becomes pretty valuable. The 8 out of 10 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re getting for the price point in this area.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
