The Old Farmhouse Pub and Rooms

First Impressions

The Old Farmhouse Pub and Rooms isn’t your typical London hotel — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it brilliant. Walking up Kentish Town Road, you might almost miss it, but once you’re inside, you realize this four-star gem has nailed something most hotels completely mess up: being genuinely welcoming without trying too hard.

Location & Camden Vibes

You’re in Camden, but the quieter end where locals actually live rather than just shop for vintage band tees. The Kentish Town area has this lovely residential feel — tree-lined streets, proper pubs, and you can walk to Camden Market in about fifteen minutes when you want the chaos, or stay put when you don’t. The tube station’s a short stroll, which means central London’s easily accessible without the tourist crowds outside your door.

The Pub Downstairs

This is where The Old Farmhouse really shines. The ground floor restaurant and pub feels like what every British gastropub wishes it could be — warm wood, good lighting that’s neither too dim nor too bright, and food that’s actually worth ordering. I mean, you could easily spend your evening here and forget you’re technically staying “above” a pub. The atmosphere strikes this perfect balance between neighborhood local and somewhere you’d bring visitors to show off a bit.

The Rooms

Each room has character without feeling cluttered or trying too hard to be quirky. Think exposed brick, comfortable beds, and bathrooms that work properly (you’d be surprised how rare that combination is). The soundproofing is better than expected — you get the cozy pub atmosphere without the late-night noise carrying upstairs. There’s good WiFi, proper lighting for reading, and those little touches that show someone actually thought about what guests need.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it feels authentic rather than manufactured. You’re not staying in some corporate hotel that could be anywhere — you’re experiencing a slice of actual London life. The staff knows the area, the pub downstairs becomes your local for however long you’re staying, and you’ll probably end up chatting with genuinely interesting people. With a 9.3 rating, it’s clear other travelers get it too. This is London hospitality done right.
