“Surely coming back but in the rooms on the lower floor”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

Spent 3 nights in this good B&B, close to the rail station and just a 15 minute train ride from Victoria Station. The room was clean and adequate, the breakfast was delicious and plentiful(one of the best during our two week UK visit). Frances, the hostess & her husband (sorry forgot his name) were most helpful in providing answers to our questions.
It's simple and plain with no frills, and it's a great bargain.

Room Tip: Highly recommended, value for money

“Quiet but difficult to find”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We were two couples staying in two double rooms for three nights in a building separate from the main house. We did like that situation but the bathrooms were TINY.
We drove to the B&B (mistake!!) It was very difficult to find by car.
But on a positive note, our friends had an issue with limited lighting the first morning and was very well resolved by the time we returned that evening.
They are in the middle of renovations so things are a little messy.
Free wifi but you need to be in the main house for it to work.

“Friendly, comfortable, quiet yet convenient”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

Two friends and I stayed in the three-bed room on the top floor. The B&B is outside of downtown London, but the short train ride and walk are worth it. The room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast was a pleasant surprise with both traditional English dishes to try and familiar choices for those Americans less inclined to experiment. The owner was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again!

“Will look forward to returning again after renovations are complete”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

I spent several days at this lovely B&B, located just a 15 minute train ride from Victoria Station. It was under renovations, but the room was clean and adequate, the meals were delicious and plentiful, and Frances the hostess was most helpful in providing answers to my questions. It's simple and plain with no frills, and it's a great bargain.

“A Place to Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

My wife and I stayed there on August 10/11, 2011.
Very, very nice accommodation with a nice breakfast.
Frances, the owner, is very knowledgeable of everything that has to do with London: transportation, restaurants, attactions, etc.
Enjoy your visit in London and rest at Melrose House.
