Josephine provided a wonderful experience for this single traveller. The decor was elegant, spacious and comfortable. Josephine herself was welcoming, with great tips for getting about London and what was available. Travelling alone, it was always nice to share a friendly conversation and the activities of the day over a sustaining breakfast. Location is perfect with a few minutes walk... More

Lovely room, comfy bed, very convenient location, close to bus and Underground, great breakfast and fantastic value. Highly recommend to anyone but especially great for older single traveller like me. Josephine especially helpful with transport information and directions and could not have done more to make my 8 night stay so enjoyable in her lovely home. Thank you Josephine -... More

Basic B&B with good location to Chelsea and public transport. Easy walking distance to parks etc. Breakfast disappointing for a UK B&B, a choice of 3 cereals, and a slice of toast, what happened to a good old cooked English breakfast? My bed was very uncomfortable and the house in general could do with a good clean.

We enjoyed a 2 night stay in London, and found Josephine to be friendly and charming. Her house is lovely, decorated tastefully and everything we needed was catered for. The room was clean and spacious, the breakfast was delicious and we felt right at home in Jospehines house. The cats were gorgeous and we found the location to be ideal,... More

First of all, I'm glad to say the place is exactly like on the photos. A charming B&B, decorated with style, clean and comfortable. Could be perfect if it wasn't for the lady running the place who was quite weird indeed. Apparently, 0.30 am was "too late to take a shower" as she said while banging heavily on the bathroom's...

Josephine's was our first stop on our honeymoon tour; what a fabulous introduction to London! She is very sweet and helpful and the bedrooms so pleasant, a perfect light and airy atmosphere. A beautiful street, the amazing brompton cemetery behind the garden wall out back, a kind hostess and a yummy English breakfast. Thank you Josephine and kittys!
