GuestReady - Moonbeam Cottage: Quiet village

Welcome to my house!

Located in a quiet village, my house is just 20 minutes away from London.

Immediately upon entering through a sunny yellow door, you see that a lot of thought and care has gone into designing every little detail of this cosy yet spacious cottage. From the warm colours to the eclectic mix of vintage and artisan furniture and furnishings every room feels special and curated.

Downstairs you have a cosy sitting room leading to a light and spacious dining room and kitchen. Outside, there’s a sheltered city garden with ample space to sit and enjoy a barbecue or a glass of wine. Upstairs there are 4 beautifully decorated bedrooms and 3 bathrooms; all individual and colourful to create a space that is calming yet energising.

Thoughtful practical touches abound to make your stay as comfortable as possible with off-street parking, a well-stocked kitchen, eco-friendly toiletries, hair dryers, cafetiere, and much more.

Enjoy your stay.

You get the best of several worlds with this neighbourhood – London and the countryside both being easily accessible from here!

It is a quintessential London ‘village’: quiet, mainly residential with some lovely ancient woodland walks, that nevertheless has brilliant connections to London with London Bridge, Southbank, Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and Waterloo, all between 15 and 25 minutes away by train. Although the property itself is in a quiet residential cul-de-sac, the station is a mere few minutes' walk away as are food shops, well-loved fish and chips, down-to-earth neighbourhood cafes and a very popular pizza place.

Also, a walk away is Henry VIII’s favourite childhood stomping grounds: the English Heritage site Eltham Palace with a lovely café and celebrated gardens and interiors and Eltham which has an array of high street shops such as WHSmiths, Boots, Marks and Spencer, as well as a cinema and several chain and independent restaurants.

A short drive or a bus ride to the many restaurants and pubs, national trust walks and nature reserve as well as a Sunday market at Chislehurst.

A similar distance away, but in the opposite directions, lies Blackheath as well as world-famous Greenwich with its many attractions including a market, the Cutty Sark, the Observatory, the royal park, many chain and independent restaurants, cafes, and pubs along the river Thames.

If you like your sports there are football fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, cycling routes, and green chain walks all within walking distance as well as a few playgrounds to keep the little ones amused! Also, a short distance away are a golf club, driving range, crazy golf, squash courts etc.

If it’s serious shopping you are after, Bluewater – one of the biggest shopping centres in Europe – is 20 minutes' drive away or a train ride and of course, all the shops in London are also a short train ride away in the opposite direction!

Kent, the garden of England, is on your doorstep so to speak, with a motorway a few minutes away and trains that take you into historic towns such as Canterbury, celebrated beaches at Whitstable and Broadstairs as well as heritage towns like Sandwich.

Train station is a few minutes’ walk away with regular trains into Charing Cross, Waterloo, London Bridge and Cannon Street. The property is also well connected to the docklands and Canary Wharf and the O2 with one train change and bus routes. Several buses are available at your doorstep with good frequency connections both locally and beyond.

The owner of the property has lived locally for over 20 years and is deeply embedded in the community. She is always happy to offer suggestions and help if you are after something special whether it be cooking classes, yoga sessions, massages or off the beaten track experiences to make your trip memorable and special.

This is a self-check-in property and you will be requested to verify your identity before being able to check into the flat. You can check in any time of the day as long as you respect our standard check-in time.

Also, we charge £50 for each set of lost keys (security keys may cost more). There may be an additional cost to replace the locks for security purposes. So, please keep your keys safe.

There is a zero-tolerance policy for smoking on the property. If our team discovers any evidence that this rule has been breached (e.g., smoke smell, ashes, butts, etc.) we fully reserve the right to charge a minimum of £300 GBP smoking fee.

We do not allow parties, large gatherings, loud noises, or outside guests. Should we receive sufficient evidence of such activity we reserve the right to cancel your stay (without refund) and may involve a security team to evict you. Any associated cost will be charged to you via your security deposit. Local authorities may also be present (if required).
