Holmewood Homestay — Hotel in London

Myself and my husband stayed for two nights with another couple, we were greeted by a neighbour due to the owner being away. We were shown our rooms which were clean and spacious, we were informed that we would be alone due to another booking cancelling which was beneficial due to the bedroom doors not having a key to lock them which would of been an issue if there were others in the house.

Franciene, the host, is warm and welcoming and quick to offer a cup of tea or coffee.
