A fantastic 2 week stay in this beautiful home in a lovely area. Julie and Andy are wonderful welcoming hosts. The large double has bags of space and a lovely comfortable bed. The house is spotless and there's space in the kitchen for foodstuffs and a separate fridge for guests to use. Several regular buses in to the Rose Theatre from stops a couple of minutes walk away and Norbiton train station for services into Waterloo is about 10 minutes away. Highly recommend.

Julie and her family are just the loveliest people with a wonderful, welcoming home! One of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed - a great clean and big room, close to the station and the park. I’d recommend to all!
17th Mar 2026
Thanks! Hope you’re all settled in to the new home.
Had an amazing stay at Julie and Andy's! From the moment I arrived, I felt immediately welcomed. Both the house and the area felt very calm and friendly, and I was able to get a lot work done on several projects while staying there. Room and house were both clean and cozy, London was easily accessible by train, and Richmond Park was just a short walk away. Also loved having Poppy the dog around! Would definitely recommend, and would definitely book again :)

They’re always happy to help.

The room is lovely, with toilet right next to it. I didn’t use the bathroom because I used the gym ones but it looked lovely and had everything you’d want.
My stay was so frantic with work I didn’t actually see anyone that much but I chatted to Julie a little and she was lovely!
I’d definitely stay here again.

I had the most wonderful stay at Julie and Andy’s. Their hospitality was excellent and I felt right at home. The facilities were all of a high standard, comfy bed, good shower and all the kitchen utensils you need!
It is just a short walk from Norbition station, Richmond park and supermarkets.
The garden is ideal when the weather is good and darling poppy is a joy to have around.
Thank you again and I hope to visit again.
