Main House

Top choice in Notting Hill & West London


The four delightful suites at this peach of a Victorian mid-terrace house make the Main House a superb choice. The bright and spacious rooms come with large bathrooms and endless tea and coffee. Cream of the crop is the uppermost suite, occupying the entire top floor. There's no sign, but look for the huge letters 'SIX'. Minimum three-night stay.

The friendly owner, Caroline, is a font of local knowledge, and the staff are very helpful too. Guests get discounted entry to a nearby gym and health club with pool. There's no lift.
