Just recently (April 2013) we stayed at the Main House in the Notting Hill district of London (on the quiet corner of Colville & Lonsdale Roads) for 13 nights. This is a small B&B (5 rooms I think) located in your typical London row house, probably dating to before the turn of the last century. Our room, essentially the entire... More

Tea every morning from a silver tea service in a spacious and beautifully/interestingly furnished room was the perfect way to start each day. A great sleep on a comfortable bed and a great shower in a spacious bathroom. However the best part was Caroline's advice every morning as we plotted our travels, decided what to do, and figured out where... More

From my first communication with Caroline I knew that The Main House would be my choice of accommodations. A friend and I travelled to London and spent five nights with Caroline staying in the French Suite on the top floor. The Main House allows you the opportunity to feel like a true resident. The French Suite is tastefully decorated and... More

This was our second visit to The Main House - we returned for a second time as our previous stay was so memorable . The location must be one of the best places to stay in London - its a really special neighbourhood . Everything is literally right on your doorstep from some of the most interesting cafes and restaurants... More

Me and my husband had a great six days stay at Caroline's Main House. Felt very welcome and the area was also wonderful. Loved how we became a part of a neighborhood by staying here. Big room and lovely bathroom. Recommended!

I lucked out when I visited this place a year ago (January 2012) and am back now in March 2013. Caroline Main, owner of the house, knows the city very well and always suggests great things to do. The "hotel" itself is completely charming. It's an old Victorian-style house and each guest gets an entire floor. Very cozy, very comfortable.... More

We (two adults and one teenage girl) have stayed at Main House twice now, in late 2011 and again in late 2012. All aspects of it are first-rate. Caroline (the owner) and Moa (her longtime assistant) are both delightful, genuinely friendly, and extremely helpful. They are quick to respond to emails inquiring about bookings, and happy to make arrangements for... More

This is the first time I have stayed at The Main House. I have stayed in London numerous times before, and also in Notting Hill, but I have never enjoyed other places as much as I enjoyed The Main House. I was here with a friend and colleague for one week, working. Every morning we were served tea on a... More

A friend and I stayed at The Main House on a New Year's holiday to London, and we couldn't have asked for better quality, service, hospitality, and general warmth than what we found there. Since this was my first trip to London, I was constantly emailing for help and tips and advice months and months before our stay. Moa and... More

Our recent stay at the Main House in a beautiful neighborhood called Notting Hill (on the west side of London) proved to be a throughly enjoyable experience. The owner, Caroline Main is a vivacious, charming, and throughly efficient innkeeper. The house is well maintained and furnished with authentic and eclectic pieces which she has collected through her travels. The rooms... More
