Family-friendly holiday rentals in Thornton Heath

We had a wonderful Christmas week at Flagpole Cottage. The hosts' home was clean, welcoming and extremely well-equipped. We had everything necessary for preparing family feasts, having a wood fire, plenty of bathrooms and comfortable beds. Robin and Francine even left a beautifully decorated real Christmas tree for us the enjoy (and put our presents under), a very thoughtful touch. We enjoyed the hot tub and trampoline (we were lucky with the weather, cold but not rainy) as well as the local walks to pubs. We bought our Christmas turkey (ordered in advance) at the fabulous Flower Farm shop, which is nearby and is a great source for all things edible. Robin and Francine's guide to local amenities and activities is thorough and quite useful. Robin was very attentive and open to queries but everything was so clearly laid out we didn't really have any questions. One last thing - the gardens are exceptional - even in December! I was in awe - especially the topiary. The old yew trees! xx

Reggie is by far one of the most attentive, helpful, and kind hosts I’ve ever encountered. His exceptional hospitality truly exceeded my expectations and made my stay unforgettable. I was genuinely surprised—in the best way—by how thoughtful and accommodating he was. Thank you so much, Reggie!

Great area of London for restaurants and markets. Easy access to Tube at Algate East and other rail at Liverpool Station. Val’s place was homey and clean and lots of room. Kitchen really well equipped. Views of the skyline beautiful, especially at night. A wonderful place to stay in the eastern end of London.

Carol Anne and Kelly were great hosts, kind and helpful. The apartment was very nice, equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable. The location is excellent, very close to the subway and buses, the neighborhood is great. We had a great time, thaks a lot.

Our short stay at Debbie’s flat was so good! She let us pay £10 per each hour before check in time which was so worth it as we arrived with 4 kids in the morning so it was nice to check in around 11 and get our bags settled so we could spend the rest of the day exploring! The flat was so cute and free of clutter, comfortable, and such easy walking distance from Kings Cross so it was very easy to get around. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and we would honestly want to stay there again if we make our way back to London! Thank you so much for everything!

Absolute lovely place in a quiet area of London. The flat is exactly as described and it has everything you need for a short or long stay. Totally recommended, would love to come back!

We enjoyed our stay at Janet’s condo. It had beautiful views and was in the perfect location outside of the busy city but steps from the closest train station. It was very clean and Janet had wonderful suggestions for us to eat/shop. She even left treats for us to snack on while we stayed. 10/10 would recommend.

Great unit that was close to transportation. Unit was in a safe area. Unit was clean and well equipped. Our host Brett was easy to get ahold of and represented the unit accurately. Would highly recommend.

We were as a family in June a week at Sinead's guest. The house is wonderful and very easy to reach by public transport. We especially liked the beautiful garden, where we could have a wonderful breakfast and enjoy the break from the hustle and bustle of the big city of London. Sinead is a perfect hostess and we had a very nice time with her. We'll be back anytime!

We had an excellent trip! Area was great with good travel links. Accommodation was spotless and very homely! Quentin was a fantastic host and very responsive to any questions that we had! 100% would recommend! Thanks

Great London guides and maps available for use during our stay. We stayed 3 weeks and the place was cleaned every Wednesday. Paddington tube and railway station very close by. Take the canal boat trip from near the apartment to Camden Lock for a fun day. Good hot water and pressure in shower.

Great living space! Will for sure stay again

The apartment was gorgeous! We loved the location, easy access to the train, village and all that Greenwich has to offer. Davey is an incredible host, ensuring that we were settled in and comfortable. Perfect for families. Highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful time. The flat has absolutely everything you need and plenty more. The art, the plants, the books and the decor make it a very special place. Situated close to the beautiful Terrace Gardens and Richmond Park and with cafes , pubs and convenience stores steps away you will not be disappointed. Easy walk down the hill to the station and everything Richmond has to offer. James was absolutely charming and super helpful. Highly recommend🤗

Paul and Angela's cottage was perfect for our short stay. The location is in a very quiet location yet within walking distance of all the places we wanted to visit in Greenwich and near great transport links to Central London. The cottage itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay. As mentioned in other reviews there is a narrow spiral staircase as clearly shown in the pictures but our 6 year old managed this just fine and we were able to take our cases up. Paul and Angela answered any queries quickly and were kindly able to accommodate requests to leave luggage at the cottage pre/post check in/out times so we could make the most of our short stay. We would certainly stay again and recommend to others.

Perfect for seeing a concert at Shepherds Bush Empire. Great and cheap Indian across the road. Very accessible for central London.

The hosts are very kind and accommodating! The location was nearby public transit and the hosts provided clear instructions and guides on how to navigate the city.

It was a lovely stay and just perfect for our needs in London. We have two little dogs who felt quite at home. The garden was very relaxing. Canadian Avenue is a nice location and not too busy. There are plenty of shops nearby, the station is close and there are also lots of places to catch a bus. This is the first time of using an Airbnb. The whole process was excellent and I hope to book again with Sue in the future. Thank you also to Jean and Ralph who were vey helpful.

Want a nice quiet spot in West London that's affordable? This is it. Always got peaceful nights sleep and it's easy to get to the underground or walks to Shepherd's Bush.

Tara was very welcoming and made us feel instantly at home. The flat was well equipped with everything we needed. The flat was well located with easy transport links nearby. We would definitely stay here again!😄

Jodi’s home is a great place to stay. We were going to a wedding at Hackney Town Hall and could walk easily there and to the restaurant afterwards. It’s also beautifully located looking out at London Fields. The home was well provided for, we had everything we needed and so much more. We loved the decor, there was so much to see and read. Thank you Jodi, you were so helpful too and we loved your home.

Warm and friendly, accommodating hostess . Very comfortable accommodation beautifully situated for walking into glorious local village and access to transport all over London.

We had such a lovely family stay at this beautiful pool house! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The space was spotlessly clean and well-kept, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. Carmel was absolutely wonderful—so kind, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed before we had even arrived, which made our stay even more special. The highlight, of course, was the pool! It was stunning and incredibly relaxing—perfect for both kids and adults to enjoy. Whether we were swimming, lounging poolside, or just enjoying the peaceful surroundings, it truly felt like a slice of paradise. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable family retreat. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you!

We had a fabulous long stay in Susan’s house. The house was perfect, spacious and homely and in a great location near Clapham high st and Clapham common with lots of nice shops, parks and close to lots of public transport. Susan was very welcoming and responsive and went above and beyond to make us comfortable and help us during our stay.
