Charming child-friendly 2/3-bed Twickenham cottage
Built in 1900, our Victorian cottage is all wonky walls with a woodburner and rolltop bath.

On the banks of the Thames, Twickenham is a leafy village in Greater London. You can walk or cycle (mountain bikes for hire in the town centre) for miles in both directions along the riverside towpath.<br /><br />Our cottage is 3 minutes' walk from the nearest Tesco supermarket - with an award-winning bakery (Ruben's Bakehouse), fishmonger (Sandy's), butcher (Laverstoke Park Farm) further along Twickenham's high street. Try the White Swan pub for an unbeatable riverside setting or Masaniello restaurant, on quaint pedestrianised Church Street, for authentic Italian food.
Having travelled to more than 50 countries between the two of us (Nepal and Bolivia among the favourites), some of our best memories are of authentic home stays around the world. Martina is an interiors journalist at a national newspaper and Daniel runs his own lettings firm, so we hope our combined expertise will make your stay in our home extra special.
