The Main House – Notting Hill has a lovely and tranquil haven in The Main House. This understated and elegant Inn is a treasure - and is for anyone hoping for a relaxed retreat in London. With only three to four guest rooms, this gem is more a temporary apartment house for an out of town traveler. The guest room... more

I've stayed twice in the past year for a week each time at The Main House. My room was the French Suite which is the whole top floor -- a nice size bedroom (with comfy bed and large dresser and armoire) and a huge living room with TV and WiFi Internet. The bathroom is quite small (the baths in the... more

Nice guest house in Notting Hill, with large, beautifully designed rooms and friendly staff. The bathroom is particularly good, with a deep, glorious bathtub. My only criticisms were that the bathroom didn't have adequate toilet paper on the first day (we were given more the next day); and the noisiness of the creaky floorboards mean you can hear the footsteps... more

My sister and I stayed at the Main House for four nights while visiting London in October. We had each been to London a few times before but this was the first of our experiences in the Notting Hill area. First of all, the location of the Main House couldn't be better, one block from Portobello Road and a nice... more

Our family stayed at The Main House for over a week in August of 2007. We were in the French Room, the entire top floor and we all enjoyed it immensely. Our son took the front room, a large room with windows opening onto the front of the building, a television, internet connection and wonderful furnishings, pictures and artifacts. My... more

O.k. - this is not like staying in a big, typical "hotel". This is like having your own "flat" in London. The owner and her assistant "B" are really friendly and very helpful. The neighborhood is awesome, as it is residential and in a very upscale neighborhood, so again, not a typical hotel by any means (you feel like a... more

Despite several emails to bombard Beata and Caroline with questions before we booked a room at The Main House, both have been so helpful and friendly! Answers were very fast, and they even agreed to let us receive a letter with tickets for a concert in London while we still did travel through England's South. As we arrived, everything was... more

I stayed at Main House in London from 27th June 2007 for 1 week until 4th July 2007. On my arrival at 8.30pm after a long flight from Bangkok, Carolyn, the owner, was not very helpful when asked for a cup of tea after my long flight. I am a 71 year old widow and my first trip since my... more

My husband and I recently stayed at The Main House during a 4 day trip to London. I chose the Main House based upon the good reviews and the price. The location and rooms are excellent. Being in Notting Hill is fun- you feel like more of a local and there are great shops and restaurants nearby, not to mention... more

We stayed at the Main House in April with our two teenagers. While we usually stay at more central hotels when my husband travels on business, this was partially a family trip and so we looked for something more afforadable that would accomodate four of us with some privacy. The arrangement of rooms was excellent: we had a large room... more
