Holiday rentals near The Hop Shop

Calm, clean and comfortable, our stay on this lovely canal boat was all we hoped it would be.Five minutes walk to the light rail, close to Canary wharf shops and restaurants, ten minutes to the Tower of London and Bridge. Delightful boat to return to after a busy day in London.

Our host Mark went beyond with little touches to his home including fresh flowers, cookies on arrival and a tree to give us some Christmas cheer. The property was perfect for our family of 4 (2 teens) and very close to shops, restaurants, buses and the Tube. Access to the property is down a very steep outdoor staircase so not the best if you have mobility issues. I would thoroughly recommend this property.

The flat was so quiet and comfortable with a beautiful, peaceful outlook onto the leafy garden. Thoughtful provisions and facilities were much appreciated and made for a very welcoming stay. The location was superb, being close to the tube and buses as well as supermarkets, cafes and restaurants. The hosts were patient and helpful when I locked myself out and are very communicative when required. I was sad to leave but hopefully one day I will be able to return.

Within a 7 minute walk of Gloucester Road tube station on the Piccadilly line from Heathrow Airport and we were into our cosy comfortable London abode, relatively quickly after landing . Holly greeted us herself and gave us all the information to enable us to have a very pleasant week. We enjoyed dinner at nearby restaurants, purchased makings of dinner from nearby Waitrose and wine shops. A trip to the museums with afternoon tea at either Ampersand or Kensington Hotels was easily achieved. Other days we either caught the tube trains or caught the Number 14 red bus to central London destinations. Apart from the chilly weather which no one had any control of , everything was perfect. Thank you, Holly. Helen and Warwick Fairlie
