About this property

Lowest Cost London Holiday On Net, The Best Of Both, Beautiful Surrey And London

Our guest suites would suit someone who would like to visit London but retreat to a more tranquil setting for a good night's sleep and avoid paying overpriced London hotel rates. They would also suit people who would like a longer stay in the area; maybe an extended holiday or a work placement or a business trip or somewhere to stay in-between properties and would require more facilities offered by the average hotel. The excellent transport links between Caterham and London make this a very viable alternative for anyone visiting or working in the London area. Our guest suites overlook the beautiful Queens Park and our back garden on the other side. Guests are accommodated in one of three private guest suites on the upper floors each with two sleeping areas and an ensuite bathroom. The house itself is Edwardian and still retains all the original Edwardian features. Once inside their own suites, our guests are totally private. Two of our suites give guests access to the Sky TV vision package with unlimited access to a large selection of TV channels; guests in the family suite can attach their own devices to a TV monitor which we provide for them. We try to provide guests with as many home from home comforts as possible within the space provided. The suites all have a comfortable double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a second room which could be used as a second bedroom or breakfast room / living area. There is enough storage for 4 people for a short stay and two people for a longer stay. Larger groups could take more than one suite if required. Extra bedding, towels, linen and more are available in the suites. Off street parking is included free whenever it is available.
This accommodation would suit people with a variety of different needs and schedules. We did not rent these suites from March 2020 to June 2021 as we made them available to NHS workers but prior to that, we hosted both short-stay and long-stay guests either visiting London and the surrounding area or visiting friends / family or working in the local area. We are very flexible and are happy to provide guests with occasional regular accommodation on a Monday to Friday rental if they are working in the area and would like to go back home at the weekend or vice versa. We have also accommodated several guests on a temporary basis who were looking to buy or rent more permanent accommodation in the Caterham area. We have also accommodated several people looking for short-stay solutions, some were in-between properties, others were working on their own homes and needed to find alternative accommodation till the work was completed. All our guests like the option of being able to prepare basic meals in the privacy of their own space rather than eat out every day, and they all say that they would rather be here than stay in an impersonal and over-priced hotel room. The advertised accommodation is perfect for one or two adults for a long stay and would be fine for three adults or two adults and two young children for short stays but for four or more adults or parents with older children we would recommend booking two suites so as to render the experience more comfortable. Guests should note that summer rental rates are based on the fact that central heating is not required. Surcharges May be applied if heating is required from May to September

Lucy was exceptionally kind
Without too much words, our stay in Caterham was interesting courtesy of Lucy and everyone. We enjoyed every bit of it. I recommend it for anyone anytime anyday.

low cost but also low comfort
We stayed 6 days with our 2 youngsters to visit London and the Southeast. Travel by train to London takes a good hour and getting back in the evening even more as the trains stopped on almost every station. Therefore we did this only twice. The two rooms are more or less practicably equipped regarding the limited space. Unfortunately both beds, the bed sofa (you feel the metal carriers when you sleep on it) and the double bed (worn out mattress) were quite uncomfortable. They should be both replaced.

Super nette Gastgeber ! Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Schöne Lage im ländlichen Surrey südlich von London. Bahnhof ist nur 10 Gehminuten entfernt und man kommt sehr gut nach London. Familien Appartement war sauber und mit dem Wichtigsten eingerichtet. Es standen im Raum Kühlschrank, Mikrowelle, Wasserkocher und Toaster zur Verfügung. Das Schlafzimmer hatte ein sehr weiches Doppelbett und der zweite Raum eine große ausklappbare Schlafcouch für 2 Personen. Das angrenzende Bad verfügte über eine Dusche, kleines Waschbecken und Toilette. Preis/Leistung Top! Wir würden wieder kommen. Liebe Grüße

Nette Unterkunft mit wenig Komfort
Ein Kühlschrank und eine Mikrowelle im Wohnzimmer stellen die Küche dar. Das Geschirr steht im Wohnzimmerschrank. Zum Spühlen dient eine Plastikwanne. Das Wasser hierfür gewinnt man aus dem kleinen Waschbecken im Badezimmer. Das Ausziehsofa im Wohnzimmer ist zum Schlafen aufgrund der vorhandenen querenden Stahlstreben ungeeignet. Die Tür zwischen Wohnzimmer und Schlafzimmer ist verzogen und nicht schließbar, sie geht immer selbstständig auf. Das Badezimmer entspricht dem englischen Standard. Positiv sind das Bett im Schlafzimmer, problemloser WLAN-Empfang und Fernseher mit Sky und 15 Minuten Fußweg zum Bahnhof, wobei der Rückweg vom Bahnhof sehr steil ist. Das Haus liegt an einem kleinen Park, Geschäft mit langen Öffnungszeit sind 5 Minuten entfernt, die Wohnung ist für 4 Personen nur bedingt geeignet, für zwei Personen noch annehmbar.

Why they chose this property

What we love about this area is the fact that we enjoy all the benefits of Surrey village life and country living, local pubs, golf, riding and beautiful country walks which have proved invaluable during the past two years with all the lockdowns and social distancing we have been subjected to. Now that we can enjoy more freedoms again, guests will like the fact that we are just an hour from central London by train from Caterham station. Our many past guests have loved being so close to London and yet our rates are comparatively low for what we offer. This attracts more and more long stay guests as the cost of serviced apartments in this area is now very high. We do not offer what a fully serviced apartment or a serviced studio apartment can offer as our suites are essentially holiday accommodation units, but we do our best to provide guests with some kitchen appliances so as to make their stay more comfortable.

What makes this property unique

This is an excellent area for people of all ages. Our adult daughters have been riding at a local riding school since they were just three years old, as a family we have enjoyed country walks in the North Downs, the Kenley Aerodrome and a local petting farm where people can meet the animals as they walk through the charming country path through the fields. Now pubs and cafes are open again, a country walk ending with a drink at one of our local pubs / inns or a coffee at one of our many local cafes - (we missed them all so much during the recent lockdowns). We have tennis and badminton courts in the beautiful Queens Park, just across the road from our house, and a bowling club, mini golf, croquet and a children's playground and in the summer you can sit on the green with a picnic and watch a traditional game of cricket in the perfect setting or take the children to the playground and treat yourselves to an excellent Kelly's ice-cream from the kiosk there. If you are here in November, you can enjoy the Caterham Dene spectacular firework display also from the park or from the windows in the two suites on the middle floor, if you would rather admire it in the comfort and warmth of your own home. Our local King and Queen pub nearby often stage Plays and events from their makeshift outdoor theatre and the Miller Centre amateur dramatics theatre in Caterham can certainly match the London stage in excellence but at a fraction of the cost.
This area is safe and virtually crime free compared to other more central areas, yet we still have easy access to London whenever we want it. London Bridge is an hour or less away by train and Gatwick is just 20 minutes away,
