This was written as a review on Tripadvisor in the summer of 2012, when the property was let out for holiday lets: “A Country idyll in London - near perfect” What a great place- I cant recommend enough! We could hardly bear to leave. We booked Hartham Road for a birthday weekend for my partner. We had wanted to take a cottage in the country but one of our friends had to be in London so we thought we would try and find a piece of the country in London. So what a bit of luck to find an an extraordinary artists studio converted, by a labour of love, into a cottage built in a C-Shape around a delightful Arcadian garden [complete with pond, folly and sculpture]. The house has a wonderful cosy back bedroom, clean and well appointed bathroom, an eat in kitchen [with great china] and a lovely window seat. It is also incredibly peaceful. Sat in the studio or garden you would have no clue you were five minutes from Caledonian Road Tube. It would be the ideal balm to a day seeing the sites in London G and T's on the terrace, cosy dinner in the kitchen and drift away in the bedroom. Perfect as a holiday base. It is one of those places so good you only want to recommend to your really good friends - so shh- don't tell anyone unless they are really special.

PLEASE NOTE THAT NOW ONLY THE BEDROOM, BATHROOM AND KITCHEN ARE RENTED FOR HOLIDAY LETS. THE STUDIO IS NOW OCCASIONALLY USED BY MY DAUGHTER AND I FOR A WORKPLACE. WE ARE BOTH ARTISTS, AND THE LARGE ROOM WAS BUILT AS AN ARTISTS STUDIO. WHEN GUESTS ARE HERE THEY ARE VERY MUCH LEFT TO THEMSELVES, BUT IT WILL BE A PLEASURE TO OCCASIONALLY HAVE TEA OR COFFEE TOGETHER IF YOU WISH, ALTHOUGH WE ARE NOT THERE MUCH.
