The North Kensington House is a charming three-bedroom cottage in West London, set within a fifteen minute walk of the iconic Notting Hill district. An excellent choice for those who would like a quiet neighbourhood, yet close enough to explore the delights of Golborne Road, with its independent shops and cafes, you’ll find everything from antique shops to authentic Moroccan grills as you wander through this quirky, eclectic neighbourhood. From Golborne Road, wander along Portobello Road and further into Notting Hill. Whether you are visiting as a small family or as a group of friends, this delightful cottage has everything you need for a week or month away in the city. Cosy and inviting, natural light cascades through every room - especially within the spacious open-plan living and dining space. Vibrant art pieces can be seen throughout, providing a colourful contrast to the otherwise muted and earthy palette. After a long day, you can sink into the plush sheets of the king-size beds in all three bedrooms. Head outside, and you’ll find access to a private garden with a large contemporary dining table for six, a peaceful spot to sip your morning coffee.

Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison B. 4 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stylish Very smart property. My bed was super comfortable and sheets crisp and clean. I thought there was a hot tub but there wasn’t. Bathroom needed more of a deeper clean like there was a huge dusty cobweb above the blind. We noticed lots of little flies in th kitchen area, but maybe they came in when the patio door was open… overall it was very nice. Communication with the management was excellent ##### Alison B. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 17 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I have never needed to write a critical review before but feel I should warn people about this property. To start, we arrived to a dirty house, the cleaners arrived about the same time and therfore took over 3hrs. out of our stay. I was never offered a discount even though when I asked if we could check in 1hr. early , we were told we would have to pay 25 !!! The back door did not lock as there was no key. I got in touch with the rental agent and was not offered any assistance that evening. I was travelling with my son & family and he was very worried for the safety of his family. This caused a sleepless night & a terrible start to our vacation. The back deck had loose boards that gave way as you walked on it. The cleaner took note & said he would report the problem. The steep staircase has extra shallow treads( old house) and no hand railing which made it treacherous, especially with luggage. It looked nothing like the photos advertised. We made plans to leave in the morning & got another rental. I was refused, my money back for the remaining days and to add insult to injury I had also paid a damage deposit which I was refused as well. I truly can’t imagine the positive reviews are real. Be warned & stay away from this property. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d540a9cf-856e-4586-a249-b9743fcd3122-1750181810955.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba1fc5d2-3cf7-4837-bc23-423935a237ba-1750181810913.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c65702d8-e873-408b-a88e-85fd959bb316-1750181810915.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton London Metropole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Metropole.h26134.Hotel-Information) > > [ARK Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Collective-Canary-Wharf.h36660267.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cumberland, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Great-Cumberland-Place.h21659.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Olympia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Olympia.h26035.Hotel-Information) > > [The Savoy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Savoy.h27158.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal National Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Royal-National-Hotel.h55001.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London -Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-London-Tower-Of-London.h3977996.Hotel-Information) > > [Millennium Hotel and Conference Centre Gloucester London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Millennium-Gloucester-Hotel-London-Kensington.h523228.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Paddington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Paddington.h598182.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Kensington.h26612.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [St. Pancras London, Autograph Collection ®](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-St-Pancras-Renaissance-Hotel-London.h3907784.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge London Covent Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Travelodge-London-Covent-Garden.h23389.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [Corinthia London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Corinthia-London.h3849185.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Copthorne-Tara-Hotel-London-Kensington.h26145.Hotel-Information) > > [London Hilton on Park Lane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-Hilton-On-Park-Lane.h26769.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Renaissance-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h9944.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Kensington-High-St.h9789.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental London - The O2 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-InterContinental-London-The-O2.h11518997.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Riverbank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Riverbank.h1183908.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London St Paul’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-St-Pauls.h1457972.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-Tower-Bridge.h4190769.Hotel-Information)
