Kensington Breeze

Close to Kensington High Street and within walking distance of Holland Park, this townhouse makes a well-placed base for exploring west London. Set across three levels, it suits groups, with two en-suite bedrooms and a pair of twin rooms upstairs. Air conditioning throughout is a welcome extra in warmer months, and one of the bedrooms has a Juliet balcony overlooking the mews. The open-plan kitchen and dining space is geared towards eating in when you need a break from the city, and there’s a desk if you’re logging on during your stay. You’re about a ten-minute walk from the Tube for getting into central London, and around twenty minutes on foot from Hyde Park.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.

*The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.

*You’re in a residential mews, so it’s generally quieter than the main roads, but some city noise is still to be expected.

*The home is set over three floors with stairs between each level. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
