A great way to start our trip to London! The B&B was lovely and easy to find. Nice very quick walk to the tube station. Convenient food options of a wide variety all around within a very quick walk. Charlotte was quick to suggest some places to eat which ended up being some of the best food we had over... More

This review says it all; super happy guests make our day! Thank you for pointing out all the many 'little' things that we provide that make a 'big' difference for our guests; in-room power/electrical converters, the best maps, the highest speed WiFi, and in-person advice every morning to steer you in the right direction. We appreciated being appreciated. We'll be... More

This was the perfect place to stay for my first experience in London especially as a solo traveler. The location and access to the tube can't be beat. The rooms are comfortable and the bath rooms are ultra-modern. Best of all the innkeepers are helpful and informative. I received accurate transportation and travel advice on all of my many requests.... More

What a pleasure it was to assist this enthusiastic guest who ventured as far as the seaside White Cliffs, by train--50 minutes away--, and as close as the very sought-after Cigars Unlimited specialist shop, around the corner, to savour Cuban creations in the clear air of our local park at the end of the road.

We arrived at Barclay House early in the morning of the 5th March and stayed for 4 nights and returned on 18th March and stayed for a further 3 nights. The location of Barclay House is ideal in that you can walk to the train station and bus stops within a couple of minutes. There are 2 supermarkets within 2... More

Guests who stay twice in a few weeks are the best compliment we can ask for! So many guests appreciate the close proximity (1-minute walk) of the extensive 'specialist foods' (fresh and packaged) at 3 major grocery stores, as well as a major health food store, and street market for gluten-free, vegan, organic, no additives and other 'free from' foods;...

I had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, clean B&B in London's Fulham neighborhood. Close to the tube station and mini-mart/mall and approximately 30 minutes from Heathrow. Stayed in the single en suite room, which was the perfect size for me, with a full size/single bed, shower, toilet, wardrobe closet, and slim desk with flat screen tv and small reading... More

Highest praise from a real New Yorker is indeed the best compliment. Such a nice guest, open to new suggestions about London 'corners', as well as our recommendation for a private doctor in the neighbourhood! We look forward to your return when we hope that you can enjoy a drink on our summer roof terrace. More

I learned Barclay House from Lonely Planet and have stayed in their double room with king size bed for 4 days. I highly recommend this B&B to those who look for comfort, sincere hospitality and a silent corner in Cenral London. They offered food and coffee of good quality like Nespresso coffee and bread from M&S. Beddings and bathroom facilities... More

Hosts where lovely, this is a really sympathetically designed b&b that is far nicer than many 'showy but soulless hotels in the area' . Everything was spotless, sheets and beds beautiful quality, bathrooms really smart and clean, we actually stayed in their smallest room, but it was actually just perfect as we didn't really need to have bigger, however book...

Over a glass of wine we learned that this guest is a rising-star chef who runs a very upmarket 'restaurant with rooms' in the Somerset countryside (ask us for the address as we are not allowed to post it here, unfortunately). So, we were thrilled that they were thrilled with everything we offer, including compliments on our homemade muffins for... More

After years of hotels we decided to try a b and b and a special one for our 4 days stay in London in December! I loved the review in Sawdays and decided to book Barclay House. The choice has been excellent: great location AND customer service. We accepted the smallest room without an ensuite bathroom because the other rooms... More

We stayed here for 6 nights. Before we arrived we had no idea of its location from the city centre, but it turned out to be at a 'not bad' location. Although it's in zone 2 of underground network, at the station of Fulham broadway, we found it acceptable with our planning of where to go in these 6 days.... More

Thanks for the compliments. These guests expressed appreciation for the small details that we have built into the two 'luxe-for-less' en suite guest rooms. In fact, there were guests staying in the other room, but perhaps the combination of our new wall and floor eco insulation as well as sound-attenuated glass added to the peaceful atmosphere. Our home-baked cookies were... More

I advise to read also the negative reviews on Trip Advisor about this establishment - there is much truth in them still today. It is not for everyone.
