This extraordinary Grade II listed home dates back to 1741. It’s been sympathetically restored so staying here gives you a real taste of the Georgian London of the past – it’s full of fascinating historic features including ornate fireplaces. As you arrive, you’ll enter through cast-iron railings covered in ivy, wisteria, and jasmine. There’s a pretty seating area outside for warm weather, and plenty of space inside – this home is spread over four floors. There are only two bathrooms for ten guests, but one of those features twin roll-top clawfoot tubs, perfect for a romantic soak.
