Great accommodation and location

Excellent, comfortable accommodation in a great location. The flat which is very well furnished and equipped, is in a quiet area. Highly suitable for children as well as adults, it is charmingly decorated in a retro style with an incredibly helpful host. We had a most enjoyable stay and would highly recommend it and intend to use it again when visiting South East London.

Lovely Village and flat

We really enjoyed our stay. The flat was adorable and comfortable. Easily accessible, we even came into Greenwich using the Uber boat. If you are there on a Sunday be sure to find the Farmers Market in the village

Outstanding spot and host

Quaint perfectly located flat with available parking in a fantastic location. Close to lovely Blackheath village with great restaurants bars and shops and the lovely heath with a duck pond at your doorstep. A short breezy walk to Greenwich park and the close by station made it perfect. Small bathroom but everything was fine. Great host.

Claire was totally supportive prior to our arrival as well as during our stay. She even decorated with a small Christmas tree. She got back to us quickly and always answered any questions we had. The house is comfortable and located where you can access the trains and buses with a short walk.

Just book it.

There aren't enough words to describe how much I enjoyed my stay at Claire and Alun's property. It is convenient to transportation. It's a short walk to Greenwich and all the shops and restaurants there. Everything that you would need for your stay is provided and Claire is extremely responsive to any concerns or request I might have. Next time, I am in London. I will be staying here again.

The apartment was very nice and comfortable.

We did not realize that the apartment is on the 1st and second floor of the building, which for Americans is 2nd and 3rd floors. We enjoyed our stay, and were able to get Ubers or the train to get around. My only complaint is that the bathroom really needs non-slip rugs for the floor and the tub.

Thank you for your review Nancy. I’m glad you found our place comfortable. We do have a non slip mat for the bath which is stored under the sink- I’m sorry you didn’t see it. We keep it there to keep things tidy.

Best place we’ve stayed in London

We have traveled to London several times and this flat is by far the cleanest and quietest place we have stayed. It is cozy, comfortable and clean. Claire was wonderful to work with and checked on us upon arrival and accommodated our early arrival time as well. Her listing does state a separate clothes dryer but there wasn’t one in the flat.

Thank you Donna for your lovely review- much appreciated. It was a pleasure to host you. We do have a clothes airer that lives at the side of the wardrobe in the main bedroom but is a bit hidden by the curtain. I’m sorry you were unable to find it. Thank you for choosing our property and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

A short break in the south of London

We liked the quietness and semi-rural feel of the location, the local pub was really nice, and the house is a charming retro delight. It takes a while to get into town by public transport or cab/uber from Blackheath, but the bus stop is very close by and it's an easy enough journey. The beds are super comfortable. Claire is a really helpful and communicative host, and is very approachable and kind. I think Blackheath is a great location, in particular, for visiting the attractions of South London, such as the Maritime Museum, Tate Modern, and the Globe Theatre.

Blackheath Flat

We live in Canada, but my wife is from around this area, so knows it very well. We needed a property close to our family, and this one was perfect. Clean and cosy, and in a perfect location to surrounding areas, trains, buses and Greenwich Park. If the second bed ( in one of the bedrooms had been a little larger (we have 2 adult children) that would have been perfect, Other than that it was just what we were looking for and Clare was on hand to answer any questions we had. We would definitely use the accommodation again.

Blackheath pied a terre

This is a lovely base from which to explore London. The heath, Greenwich Park and Blackheath Village are all nearby. Buses, trains and water taxis provide a variety of ways to get into central London. The riverside walk from Greenwich to Tower Bridge is 27,000 steps (we did it).The apartment is spotlessly clean and the retro styling is lovely. A lot of thought has gone into making visitors comfortable and Claire (owner) is on hand if you need her. Great stay thanks.
