Martina Navratilova, who stayed with us over Wimbledon, said:
"Our rental was perfect and exactly what we wanted. The Coach House Rentals staff were friendly and efficient. We would have no hesitation in using their services again."

Good location...perfect for our needs...the italian television system made watching the masters unique! Jim schultes

Incomparable view, very quiet and secure. Being able to shop at Borough Market and cook for ourselves was invaluable.

What a lovely kitchen! It's nice to be able to use quality tools. Thanks for the use of the binoculars, also. The view over the Thames is fabulous.

This was the fourth time we have rented a flat through Coach House, and we continue to be very pleased with the level of service and the quality of the properties. We have tried several other rental services over the years and have found that Coach House is consistently the best across the board. The Meeter/Greeters are always on time and very helpful in introducing us to the property, the car service is reasonably priced and seems to employ experienced and friendly drivers, and there is almost always a good variety of properties from which to choose. The Reservations staff are prompt in answering inquiries about property availability and are always pleasant to deal with. We really couldn't ask for more! Anne Cressey

It's a pleasure to take the opportunity to let you and your organization know what a wonderful experience we had while staying in London from 5 April to 10 April of this year. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and at ease. The pick up at the airport was timely and just as described. Our welcome at the flat at Wyndham Place was extremely friendly and informative. I do not recall the name of the representative who met us there, but she was absolutely delightful. The flat itself was neat and quite well-appointed. What a brilliant idea to have the fridge stocked with a few helpful items to get us started! We will certainly be sharing our positive feelings about your organization with whomever we speak and suggest that they use you in any future travels. Please feel free to share these words with the "welcome woman" who met us and/or as a testimonial in support of your fine hospitality. Booking the flat with you was a wise choice indeed and an integral part of a very enjoyable stay in London. MARC PASELTINER

It was wonderful to have so much space. Not sure if I will ever stay in a hotel again.

CHS had a great property for us in London. Riverfront, easy tube access, restaurants nearby. I will be sure to use them again next time I am in London. Theresa Schoenfeld

Wonderful efficient and friendly service - a really gem. Ian Jarvis
(Property ref: CRN April 2012) 


We will definitely use Coach House rentals again. Having the flat and all the space for our kids was fantastic. Everything about the experience was top notch. Thanks! Andrew Schneider
(Property ref: ARG2 March 2012) 


Our greeter was so friendly and helpful upon our arrival. She gave us a complete tour of the home, then walked us through how to lock the doors, use the laundry, etc. She gave us the maps we used all week, and helped us locate a few things around town before she left.

We enjoyed staying in a home, versus a hotel; it made our stay much more comfortable.

This was our family's first stay in London and it was a 100% success, due in part to the apartment. Very well located and support from CHS was excellent. Peter Holland
(Property ref: SGS March 2012) 


This was our third rental with Coach House Rentals and wouldn't consider looking anywhere else when traveling to London or the other cities serviced by them. The customer service and quality of the properties can't be beat. John Chester
(Property ref: THD March 2012) 


Good property, good location, good value for the money.

I am glad that we found Coach House Rentals as our booking process was smooth, the flat was everything we had anticipated, and so our experience was nothing but positive. I would use Coach House again, without reservation. Paula Tilker

(Property ref: CDG March 2012) 


We visit London regularly and we have been using Coach House for many years to arrange our vacation rentals. The folks at Coach House are unfailingly pleasant and helpful and the properties have been never disappointed. Staying in an flat while in London is the only way to go - one feels much more at home. Brenda Bowlby
(Property ref: CWN March 2012) 


We had a great time in London staying at AYL. The size was perfect for us and it had all the amenities that we needed. The location was also great. So easy to get everyplace from there via the subway/tube or walking. If/When I come back to London I plan on staying at another (or this) Coach House property. We had a blast!! brenda walters
(Property ref: AYL March 2012) 


SGS is an incredibly well located apartment close to the bus and tube station. The apartment has its quirks or idiosyncrasies but is still excellent despite these. The web page images are a true reflection of the apartment. The kitchen is a bit small but well equipped. The beds are very comfortable and there is ample closet space. Both bathrooms are modern with ample hot water and nice showers. Locally dining is hit and miss but there is an amazing pub around the corner that specializes in a wide range of beers and very convenient grocery stores close by. Finally there are major bus routes right outside or close by including our favourite the number 24 double decker. Vanessa Auld

It was neat, clean and just as pictured Kyle Sayre
(Property ref: AYL March 2012) 


Anna who met us was wonderfully friendly and helpful. She was patient when answering all of our questions, too.

The flat met our expectations since the description on the web site was perfect. For the amount of space and the central location, the flat was a good value for the money. We were pleased.

All of the people at Coach House Rentals are professional, friendly, responsive and helpful. They were a delight to work with. The flat we rented exceeded our expections and was the perfect "home" for our family of five for our holiday in London. Thank you, Coach House Rentals, and thank you to the owner for sharing your London home! Kathy Stratton

(Property ref: ARG2 March 2012) 


It was actually better than the pictures on the website! Alberto Fassio
(Property ref: ELM February 2012) 


A very personal, comfortable and welcoming flat - just what you'd expect from Coach House Rentals, who give that sort of attention to their clientele. I have stayed at Fernshaw Road twice, and hope to do so again in the future. Caroline Chesner
(Property ref: FER February 2012) 


Being able to prepare meals instead of eating out saved us so much money. We were very pleased with this property. Everything was as advertised. The wireless reception was fantastic, which was important to us. There was plenty of room for the six of us. The beds were comfortable. It was a nice safe neighborhood, not too far from two tube stops. There were many little grocery shops near by, including a 24 hour convenience store. SHARON LITSEY
(Property ref: CHN January 2012) 


My husband met the greeter and said she could not have been nicer!

This made our trip so much better! This is right in a tourist area but take a few steps and you are in this lovely, quiet little mews that is hidden away. We can't wait to return and stay in this property. This made our visit so special. My husband made the statement "we are never coming to London and staying any other way ever again!" I think that says everything right there!

This was a special visit for me (50th birthday!) and I wanted to stay somewhere special. To say this delightful property more than exceeded our expectations would be an understatement.

I loved the little mews area that was so quiet and peaceful but it was just steps away from the hustle and bustle of London. It was delightfully appointed and so cozy. To have the addition of being able to park a car - well, how would you ever find that in London!

We can't wait to return and we want to stay in this very same property. It was a five minute walk from Victoria Station, shops and restaurants were five minutes and everything was perfect!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything! Lisa Prins

(Property ref: WSM January 2012) 


It was fantastic to have a spacious place so close to the underground and rail station.We were particularly pleased that there were some basics available for our use, for eg. dishwasher pellets. Also welcome was the fact that there was stuff left by previous guests. Too often we are asked to get rid of everything when we leave even though isn't always necessary in my view. Great to have a working washer and dryer too! Thank you so much. We had a great stay at Theed Street. Michele Seah
(Property ref: THD January 2012) 


The photos on the web site led us to expect something much smaller and darker than the reality. Glenn Morton
(Property ref: WSM January 2012) 


Expectation exceeded. Caroline Streeter
(Property ref: WYN January 2012) 


The property was excellent. Modern, well appointed and comfortable. The website described it accurately without the hyperbole we have experienced in other settings. We had to book for one more night than we needed so it wasn't as good value as we would have liked. Otherwise I think it is well priced for the quality of accommodation and excellent location. Les Barnsley
(Property ref: VAU December 2011) 


We enjoyed having a flat and would definitely recommend you to others. Pam Adams
(Property ref: SGS December 2011) 


Maggie was there when we arrived, warming the house, flowers in a vase and little snacks and kitchen basics--what a pleasant surprise!

We have traveled frequently all over the world. Now that our sons are much older, we found it ideal to stay in this lovely property where we had plenty of room and could experience "coming home" at the end of a long touring day, rather than returning to a hotel. The neighborhood was conveniently located and property was welcoming.

Thank you for a terrific vacation experience! Leslie Nelson

(Property ref: BLI December 2011) 


We would stay here again - the location is perfect!. julie navarro
(Property ref: WYN December 2011) 


Maggie was WONDERFUL! We hated to bother her so early the day before Christmas, but she was very sweet and met us right on time. She showed us everything and answered all our questions. She even brought us beautiful flowers!!! We loved her! Thank You

It exceeded our expectations. Everything was so nice and the beds were really comfortable. It made our stay in London very special!

Given the location, time of year, and accomodations, I think it was well worth the money A truly British experience in a premier location. Mary Beth Kenkel
(Property ref: MPW December 2011) 


This was a great place for our family to stay. It was convenient to a tube station, was not too far to walk to Victoria station and was a great neighborhood. Michele Haworth
(Property ref: SGS July 2011) 


Maggie, who met us, was very kind, friendly and helpful. She even bought us some flowers! She was very helpful in showing us how everything worked and where restaurants and supermarkets were.

The location was wonderful. A Londoner friend came to visit for a cup of tea and she thought it was reasonably good value for money.

Belinda Munro

(Property ref: SGS December 2011) 


Louise was wonderful! She went out of her way to find items for our special dietary needs. And was most helpful with all the information we needed.

It was a pleasure to work with Coach House Rentals. We were picked up from the airport by a very courteous driver. He was in touch with Coach House Rentals so Louise was waiting to greet us with flowers when we arrived at the apartment. She was very warm and went out of her way to provide us with items for our special dietary needs and to give us maps and a good orientation to the apartment and the area.

In the apartment we found multiple guidebooks and information that added to our planning. The apartment (WYN) was charming and turned out to be even nicer than it looked in the photos. It is located about a 10-15 minute walk to a number of tube stations and to markets and shops. The apartment is ground floor but the street was quiet. With the bedroom located in the back, we weren't bothered by noise at all.

Given all the stories about fraud in the London vacation rental market, it was very reassuring to work with such a warm and professional company. We would definitely consider working with them again.

Compared to the value of a hotel in london, we love this place and will come back. The WYN property is a lovely place to stay ! The surroundings are perfect to enjoy London and rest in a nice and very quiet place. NAJEAN
(Property ref: WYN October 2011) 


Loved, loved, loved this flat! I want to stay here next time I come to London! This was the second time I used Coach House Rentals. I can't imagine using any other service to take care of me when I visit! Paula
(Property ref: SGW October 2011) 


Our flat was cozy, tidy and quite charming. Richard Lappin
(Property ref: SGS October 2011) 


Great place, great location and an excellant value. Even with its idiosyncrasies everyone loved the flat. Well appointed and spacious with a great location. Twenty four bus a few steps from the door and the tube a three minute walk. The welcome pack was appreciated as well as having a driver waiting at the airport. We would definitely use Coach House again on our next trip. Scott Sims
(Property ref: SGS October 2011) 


Cedric was very kind and easy to work with. Margaret the cleaner, was lovely and very helpful. Michael Edwards
(Property ref: DNE October 2011) 


It's really nice to meet people like Cedric when you arrive to an unknown place. He looked to be really interested in our stay, explained everything to us clearly, and was really friendly. He insisted us for going to the Borough market one day, and we had a great morning there. Thanks for all, Cedric

Everything was perfect. The property was well equiped, in a great location. Thanks specially to Cedric and Angela for their great work. We have enjoyed a lot our stay in London. We will recommend your service to our friends. We hope to see you again.

Very good description; glad it mentioned train noise so was not taken by surprise. This would bother some people. Elizabeth Olmsted
(Property ref: DNE October 2011) 


We have found flats through Coach House for a number of years now and have always been very satisfied with the level of service and the flats on offer. If there are any problems--such as the occasional very cold flat in winter--the agency strives to remedy the problem, down to and including delivering portable heaters. We recommend them highly. Annalyn Swan
(Property ref: ELM September 2011) 


I have used 4 other short letting agencies in London and Coach House rentals has been the easiest and most professional to work with. Thank you for a professional service, we will use Coach House again. M-B Aasen
(Property ref: TAL September 2011) 


The rental was in a great location and at a reasonable price. The staff was helpful and I enjoyed my stay. Thank you Tony Thornburg
(Property ref: AYL September 2011) 


Anna who met us was wonderful - very friendly and helpful.

We absolutely loved the house and its location - it was perfect for us and will certainly recommend it to people. We loved that there was a music school/practice hall at the back and it was a treat to hear music drifting up through the kitchen window.

(Property ref: FER September 2011) 


Another great stay with Coach House rentals. We will use you whenever we are in London. Natalie
(Property ref: ELM September 2011) 


We were thrilled with the apartment and will never stay in a hotel again when in London as we have previously done. Sally Mason
(Property ref: SGS September 2011) 


The property is exactly as depicted in the photos: spacious, spare, and comfortable. Lots of natural light. The neighborhood is quiet enough for sleeping with the windows open. Being able to use the phone for local calls was a nice bonus -- no need to bother with a UK cell phone. Staying here was so much better than in a hotel! Stacy DeKeyser
(Property ref: THD September 2011) 


Very well located and equipped for a pleasant stay. Good value and easily accessible to all the familiar London tourism sites. Wallace Collection is a must see and free, plus you can walk to it. Sainsbury food market is a short walk and surprisingly well-stocked. Wish we had them in Canada. Christopher Mullin

Thanks for facilitating an excellent fortnight in London. We'll happily recommend you to others. Gerald Simms
(Property ref: LSS4 September 2011) 


Flat was exactly what you see on website. Enjoyed wine in the evening on the patio. Really loved location of flat!! Gisela Griffin
(Property ref: BFT September 2011) 


Cedric was great! He made us feel very welcome and answered all our questions and more. This was a charming and historic lodging for our London stay. Convenient to everything yet quiet. The garden was a welcome refuge for a glass of wine after a busy day. We loved it! Susan Henke
(Property ref: CAM2 September 2011) 


Meeting:  Lovely lady...the flowers were a nice touch. Helpful and friendly.
Accommodation:  Fantastic apartment close to the tube and bus services and shops.Good facilities-especially kitchen.
Overall:  Good value for money especially in its convenient location, near to transport and restaurants.

(Property ref: ELM September 2011) 


We found the house to be immensely suitable for a family holiday. There were 7 (and at times 9 ) of us and there was plenty of room. It is in a very convenient location, close to train station and shops as well as bus stop. Park close by for the children. We had a great time there. Thanks to the owners for this chance. Roger and Ann Cheffins
(Property ref: CRN September 2011) 


Photos do not do the home justice, we paid for five days but only used three but still better value than a hotel room in london. sandra moxey-molnar

Absolutely lovely meeter/greeter (Louise?) and the flowers were a wonderful touch. Michael Gubieski
(Property ref: HPP2 September 2011) 


The location and view of the river were indeed the highlights. We were very pleased with our choice and had a wonderful time in London. Kathleen F. Corrigan
(Property ref: QUQ August 2011) 


Nice to have a "home away from home" that is cheaper than 3 rooms in an anonymous hotel. Wonderful value for the money. I may never stay in a regular hotel again! Julia White
(Property ref: SGS August 2011) 


Excellent location. Perfect match as per description and picture on website. Perfect for our family of four. Yves Desrochers
(Property ref: SGS2 August 2011) 


We had the regrettable experience of having originally booked (and paid) our own independent accommodation in Mayfair which we left after one night, but Harley and his team came to our rescue and organised in a day (due to our immediate circumstances) our chosen apartment, CWN. Ironcially, before we left Australia we were deciding between CWN and the other private unit we found on the internet. Needless to say, we made the wrong choice but that was quickly righted by this fabulous company. Always go with your instincts!

To be frank, the reason we did not originally chose Coach House Rentals was we concerned about paying a large sum upfront (the rental deposit as well as 750 pound security deposit, which was not returnable for perhaps 15 days) for a property we had not seen, was in another country and when you are converting the Aussie dollar to the pound, is a sizeable sum to lose if anything was amiss. We need never have been concerned. The property does indeed exist and the security deposit was refunded into our account within days of our return to Australia.

Having said that, we completely understand the need for a security deposit of such a sum is to protect the owners and their property.

Our experience has shown that it pays to use a legitimate company, pays to outlay a little more for peace of mind and quality. The whole process was so easy.

Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for the Coach House Rentals team, with Cedric even meeting us very late into the evening as we had been out in the Cotswolds all day. He arrived armed with flowers and supplies and was indeed a welcome sight. His manner was something Mum and I will be forever grateful.

CWN was a beautiful apartment and is 100% accurately represented by the website. What you see is what you get. We felt privileged to be able to live in such a fabulous apartment for the week and wish to thank the owners too for renting it out and, hence, giving tourists a wonderful home to use whilst in London. The views, the size, the layout was just superb. It was a fantastic base to see your beautiful city and I felt it was affordable and definitely value for money.

Mum and I just want to say a huge thank you to Angela, Harley and the charming Cedric, and to the owners.

Warm regards,

Maree and Judith Littlefield

Lovely property exactly as described online and great service from Coach House (second time we've used CHS). We'll be back. John Gustavson
(Property ref: SPM August 2011) 


We will rent this property again, when we return. Great neighborhood, near by stores, and pub. Easy access to public transportation, too This was a very comfortable home to stay in. Mark and Judy Dolim
(Property ref: BLI August 2011) 


Very professional and kind staff, clean and nice apartment exactly like in the pictures and at a reasonable price. Fausto Zancanaro
(Property ref: AYL August 2011) 


WAN is a fantastic property, we felt at home in the tastefully decorated house (that was just like the description on the web) It is a good place to stay also if you have children. The kitchen is well equipped. The tube is quite close (5-10 min walk) but if you are tired you can take the bus. There are many places close-by if you want to eat out in the evening and it is a good (safe) neighbourhood. Wireless internet (if you have your pc) and flat screen with Sky are two more pluses. A bit noisy (trains now and then, flights, traffic) but not too much considering that this is London!

Our experience with CHSLondon was excellent and our greeter Cedric was really kind and explained us everything.

We would recommend CHS London as well as the property. Ersilia Borchers-Oliviero

(Property ref: WAN August 2011) 


At last we have found the solution to finding spacious, clean accommodation in a gracious London location. Several previous experiences with rental properties and hotel accommodation were less than satisfactory. Thank you Coach House Rentals; we are happy to recommend your services.

Please feel free to add our names and home city to add authenticity to our comments.

(Property ref: GDH August 2011) 


We were very happy with Coach House and would book with them again. The extra effort you show toward your clients is certainly appreciated. Having stayed in 4 different rental apartments during our holidays I would say that CHS was the most professional that we dealt with. Nicholas Harrison
(Property ref: THD August 2011) 


We loved our stay in ETW apartment.The apartment is very functional and cosy and not far from conveniences and bus stop. The nearest tube station is a bit far if you're planning to use the underground, but it worked for us. It was a very pleasant experience to stay with Coach House and we definetely will stay again next time! Edilson Cruz
(Property ref: ETW August 2011) 


Delightful and comfortable two bedroom apartment in Chelsea's best location. Couldn't be nicer. Great for Tube, buses, taxis, restaurants and the Kings Road. We plan to stay here again, and we are quite fussy. Hope you like it as much as we did. John & Veronica McNiff
(Property ref: TKR August 2011) 


Location and park nearby where very good. Value for money was good - if you would mend the double bed and the sofa we'd give it an excellent (now repaired. Ed). Bas Jonkers

CHS are professionals. We are repeat customers and will continue to be. Joseph Perdigao
(Property ref: ARG2 July 2011) 


The accommodations were exactly as we expected from the information on the website. The spacious bedrooms, number of bathrooms, and use of the laundry made this house a wonderful value. The faboulous doors to the patio were a bonus!! Rachelle Temple
(Property ref: WAN July 2011) 


This is a great rental company, I book online quite frequently, and Coach Rentals is one of the best I have worked with. They are polite, responsive, flexible and made our stay a success. We had a constant rota of guests arriving and departing in our month-long stay, and Coach Rentals arranged extra keys, and a cleaning service, to make the trip as smooth as possible. I recommend them highly and will definitely use them again. Fiona Remley
(Property ref: CHG July 2011) 


Overall, a good experience. Very good location; Nice homey feel. I would use Coach House Rentals again. Richard Jacoby
(Property ref: TKR July 2011) 


I would do this again at the drop of a hat; have recommended you to several people around the world Ada Henskens

Loved the flat - great location and neighborhood. Janice Cunningham
(Property ref: WYN July 2011) 


Anne greeted us with delightful attitude and flowers that lasted the whole week - nice touch. We would certainly use Coach House Rentals again, in London and other cities. Attention was good, properties were accurately described and the value for the rent is very good. Our rental agent, Angela was helpful and attentive to questions. Catherine Applin
(Property ref: AYL July 2011) 


I arranged the accomodation for an extended family vacation last summer. Three families stayed at Spear Mews: one couple, a couple with two girls ages 9 & 11, and a couple with an 8 year old girl. We were all comfortable and enjoyed the house and our stay tremendously. In particular, we loved the garden, the quiet street and the comfortable beds. We walked to Hyde Park and the V & A, and Earls Court tube station was a 5 minute walk. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.I would highly recommend Spear Mews to any large group staying in London for more than a few days. I plan to seek out Coach House London for my next trip. Maureen McGeehan

Everything went well, and our expectations were exceeded. The house was perfect, just as advertised, and the service provided was very friendly and competent. Highly recommended! EDINEIDE ALMEIDA DE MATTOS

The property was in an excellent location (close to the underground and the outdoor market) and a beautiful neighborhood. We felt like actual London residents. Suzanne Borislow
(Property ref: BES July 2011) 


We really enjoyed our stay at this great property. We never tired of the views of the river from the flat and the roofside garden. So much was in easy walking distance with transportation close at hand when we did need it. We would certainly stay here again if possible and would recommend it to anyone considering a stay in London. Thanks very much for adding to our pleasurable stay in London. Carol & Eric Jensen

This was a great house in a quiet neighborhood. It suited our family perfectly for our first trip to London. Steve Gleboff
(Property ref: OXG July 2011) 


We loved this property. Felt like a real home rather than a vacation rental. Location was great, close to transportation. The company was great to work with, everyone very friendly and helpful. Connie Crim
(Property ref: CRN July 2011) 


We were so lucky to book such a wonderful property through your service. All of the arrangements were very professionally handled , and the property itself (WSM) was totally charming and comfortable. I would recommend Coach House London without reservation. Angela Goldman
(Property ref: WSM July 2011) 


We loved the apartment, but it was a bit cluttered with owner knick-knacks, leaving little surface available. The dining room was over-filled by the table. Otherwise, all was good. Renting a flat is by far the best way to experience a city, and our experience with chslondon was excellent. What better way to settle in to the life and pace of London, than to live locally. Thank you. Bruce Montgomery
(Property ref: FER July 2011) 


Our greeter was lovely, helpful and a delight to deal with. She showed us all through the house, explained the very complicated locking up process and pointed us in the direction of numerous shops in the neighborhood. Can't say enough good things about her.

You might add to CRN that the neighborhood is quite close to central London. From the map it looks quite far out, but is very easy to reach anywhere you want to go. It was perfect for us as we had friends in Wimbledon and the tube line was so convenient.

London is expensive there is no way around that. For six people to have so much space and a kitchen the house fit our purposes very well. It would have been lovely to get it a little less expensively, but it worked out ok.

Theresa Foster

(Property ref: CRN July 2011) 


I was hesitant about the area (bad information from someone in the states who hadn't been near Battersea in over 20 years), but we are so glad we chose Parkgate Road. The flat was beyond our expectations. And the location was perfect. Having the 19 and 319 buses a couple of blocks from us was so convenient, and if we weren't in a hurry, the walk to the Sloane Square tube was pleasant. We loved walking through Battersea Park. What a great find. And having two pubs near the flat was great as well as the Butcher and Grill and the little market. It was very quiet at night and I highly recommend this flat to anyone visiting London. We would definitely stay there again. And will definitely use Coach House Rentals in the future as we want to visit London again in a few years. Celia Jornet

My wife and I loved our stay at ETW2 this past July. The apartment was lovely, and it was so nice to come home to so much space after a long day of taking in all that London has to offer. Eric Kinne

This surprisingly spacious, fully equipped, clean and tastefully decorated, yet uncluttered apartment was absolutely perfect for our family of 4 - children 14 and 11 years. What you see on the website is what you get - unlike many other misleading apartment advertisements we came across on other sites. There is no trick photography - we found the apartment more spacious than what was shown in the photos on the website. The location is superb and the apartment rent is extremely good value for money. The relatively spacious bathroom has a full length bath as well as shower. The kitchen is equipped with all the modern accessories and also surpassed our expectations. To top it all, the wide-screen TV was a win with the kids! Tessa McKechnie

This was my first time renting a house sight unseen. The picutres were accurate and all appliances/amenities were as described. Coach House was very easy to work with and quite responsive to all questions. I was with two teens and having the additional space of a house along with our own kitchen for breakfast was perfect. I would definitely recommend Coach House and use them agaiun in the future. Tracy Leahy
(Property ref: ADC July 2011) 


Cedric, who met us, could not have been nicer or more helpful. Just a great start to our visit.

I know we're spoiled Americans but the lack of a standing shower would be a deal-breaker in the future. It would be helpful to have the shower described i.e. standing or sitting hand-held.

From the beginning of the booking process to the day we left the keys in the flat and returned home, Coach House Rentals was exceptional in their service. And what a pleasure it was to return to our own lovely, private space (instead of a noisy hotel) at the end of each busy day. Peter McCool & Amy Kuhlmann

I initially had concerns using a company from far away taking money and wondering whether the property existed. Well, the property did exist and my partner and I enjoyed staying in wonderful surroundings after a friendly welcome. I would use this company again and recommend them to anyone. Lyn Morris

Even more convenient than expected. Judith Hoban
(Property ref: BLI June 2011) 


This is a great property for those who want to be in the heart of London and want to walk everywhere, which we did. Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, St James Park, Buckingham Palace, Regent Street, Trafalgar Square & the London Eye are all easily accessible. We rent this place again. MonikaKorsten
(Property ref: LEW June 2011) 


Excellent location next to the park and relatively close to Tube stops. Much preferred to hotel and we felt at home. Mark A Putnam
(Property ref: CRN June 2011) 


Rosie is just a great greeter! Always cheerful, helpful and welcoming!! This location was terrific! I continue to spread the word that the only way to visit London is to stay in a Coach House Rental flat!! Thanks! Brenda Bowlby
(Property ref: ARG2 June 2011) 


Cedric was delightful and helpful, contacted me by phone before arrival and gave great instructions on the flat and surrounds. He had also helped me online in the booking process when I was trying to work out something for the dates we would be there.

One caveat - I don't think the site mentioned the train noise, though I haven't gone back to check. That should definitely be included. It wouldn't keep me from staying there again, but others might not feel that way. (It IS mentioned! Ed)

At a price equal to or lower than the hotels I was considering, we had a whole flat to spread out in - a huge plus when traveling with children.

Coach House Rentals is now my first choice in accommodations in Europe. There is no better way to experience London, especially when traveling with children! Sheila Banning

I would use your service again. Laurel Wilson
(Property ref: ASC June 2011) 


We were very comfortable here--the apartment is in a nice area (we were two single women, and always felt perfectly safe walking back to the apartment even late at night); it's very convenient to transportation but also walking distance to nearly everything in central London; and it had all the necessities as well as quite a few luxuries. I hope to be able to return to London someday--two weeks wasn't nearly enough!--and will definitely consider using Coach House again. Amy Akers
(Property ref: WSM June 2011) 


We will be using CHS again. Emily
(Property ref: GHD June 2011) 


The location was excellent! You can walk to 3 different tube stations w/in 10 minutes. There are many different shops, pubs and restaurants nearby. Great for families as the adults and children can each have their own rooms for privacy. More room than if you went to a hotel or B&B. We ate in for breakfast daily which saved us some money! Alice Tesmer
(Property ref: WYN June 2011) 


Wonderful accommodation. Each property we have stayed at has been fantastic. Vanessa Johnston
(Property ref: Lau June 2011) 


The neighborhood/location was much better than we expected! We loved the park next door, and it was closer to the tube than we thought it would be. We were surprised at all the stairs (it was fine for us - not complaining) but now understand that the description probably included all the floors . We had a great stay: three small families in one wonderful house! Maia Rosal
(Property ref: CRN June 2011) 


The view alone is worth the daily rate. Sandra Gavinchuk
(Property ref: CWN June 2011) 


Very impressed with the personal touch and the level of hand-holding, so important when one is in new surroundings and worried about how windows locked and doors opened.

A great thing that Maggie to have brought the internet cable. A lifesaver.

Even better than presented. Had trepidations about location. But so glad we pressed on, given all the advantages we came to enjoy. The wonderful house that really felt like a home. The light-filled sitting room. The pocket handkerchief-sized garden oasis with accompanying urban noises. The park and the sense of real life that goes on there. The riverside walks. Chelsea just across the bridge. The well-equipped pantry. The efficient laundry room. All the comforts of home with the wonders of London one bus ride away. Loved Parkgate! Back like a shot one day! If only the dollar had been stronger!

We try to experience a new neighbourhood with every visit to London. Battersea and Parkgate were a deliberate decision for adventure. So glad we didn't get cold feet; almost did when we figured out how far we would be from the nearest tube station.

The house was a gem, a most unstuffy one. I loved my few sunshine hours in the urban garden, reading in spite of the urban noises overhead. My runner husband used the park and river walkways every unrainy morning. Chelsea and Waitrose -- where my niece and I foraged for dinner every evening -- were just across the bridge. And the frequent and convenient buses got us everywhere, and nowhere, since we also just rode the buses to the end of the line as a form of touristing. We can't wait to do it all over again.

Very nice. We loved the apartment. The view was great and my family was thrilled with the view and location. It exceeded our expectations and was much better then a hotel. We loved it. Easy walking distance to almost everything. Right across river from Globe theatre. Several tube stations very near. Like your book said: 5 minutes from St Paul's Cathedral. Several good restaurants by St Paul's. My husband just corrected me. He said walking distance to me may not be walking distance for most people. Almost killed my husband walking. I have had a hip replacement and two knees replaced in the last two years. Have to say I loved walking around London with no pain. Kids loved it.They are 16 and 18. Rita Neuman
(Property ref: QUQ June 2011) 


The location in particular surpassed our expectations. Being so close to Waterloo station was great. Being only a couple blocks from the Thames walk was wonderful. Still a lot of money, but a pretty good deal for the location in London. Susan Hinrichs
(Property ref: THD June 2011) 


The property looked exactly like in the pictures and all in all we are very pleased with the services of CHS. We had a wonderful experience in dealing with all of you and our stay in London (except for the little miseries of life and London weather) was quite pleasant. Thank you very much for your care. Lily Navon
(Property ref: ETW June 2011) 


We were very pleased with the accommodations. It is a lovely apartment with nice furnishings. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds very comfortable. The apartment is in an excellent location with lots of restaurants near by. The Pimlico Tube is very convenient and you are in walking distance of major sites such as Westminster Abbey, Parliament Buildings, Big Ben, Tate Museum. We were very happy with our stay at SGS and would use CHS London again. Penny Coghlan
(Property ref: SGS May 2011) 


Couldn't have been nicer Use CHS for a home away from home experience. Marta McDowell
(Property ref: FER May 2011) 


Anna was great - she made us feel very welcome. The bed was extremely comfortable - we were concerned before we arrived because we are used to a king-sized bed; but the smaller one was very nice. When we compared the flat to the rent our son was paying at the Lansdowne Club, we felt it was a very good value. Elizabeth Higgins
(Property ref: WYN May 2011) 


The good thing about paying in advance is that I forgot how much we paid! However we were very happy with the location and that we had a lot of space to move around in the house. Mary Lee-Shoy
(Property ref: RAN May 2011) 


I've always booked hotels in the past, but I saw your company recommended in Frommer's and decided to try it. I was very pleased with the experience and the flat. Crystal Wright
(Property ref: AYL May 2011) 


The house was exactly as pictured and described! The location was wonderful and I would LOVE to live there!

For 8 people in London, I don't think this could be beat, but it could've been a little nicer -- we originally requested Church Gate, but told it was booked.

2 Crondace Road made a wonderful London home for us for the week. The neighborhood was terrific with parks, groceries, great restaurants and a chemist all within 2 minutes. We hope to return soon! Sarah Edwards

Coach House London Vacation Rentals was recommended to me based on my brother's experience in staying with them. My husband and I were located in a wonderful section of London with a underground station within a 2 minute walk, Buckingham Palace in a 10 minute walk and plenty of restaurants outside our flat. We highly recommend Coach House London Vacation Rentals for a clean, efficient and economic stay in London. Catherine Crummett
(Property ref: CRG May 2011) 


St. Georges Square was a perfect accommodation for my wife and I and our two grown sons. Its well appointed, has ample space for four adults, and is in an excellent location. It's convenient to the Tube, and is also but a short walk to Westminister, Tate Modern, Victoria Square, Sloan Square and the Harrod's shopping area. There are a number or good area restaurants and pubs. We would return without reservation. And, I would use Coach again, without reservation. They made everything easy. Thank you Coach Rentals.

Thre property we rented for our 5 day stay in London was exactly as described by CHS. We appreciate your honesty and helpfulness. Gene McCall
(Property ref: WYN May 2011) 


WSM is in a wonderful location; Everything is easily accesible but Pimlico is like a small town. We were able to access any services we needed. We loved the local grocery store, pharmacist, dry cleaners, pubs and restaurants. The house had all the amenities we needed and more! Jane Cavanaugh
(Property ref: WSM May 2011) 


The owner of the flat met us. A very nice woman who gave us pointers about the neighbourhood. Good value. Ellen Morris

Fantastic all around flat! Great views, very comfortable and spacious, excellent location, lots of transportation options. Kirsten Monaghan
(Property ref: QUQ May 2011) 


Our meeter/greeter (Maggie) was very friendly and helpful and went thru all the relevant things. We very much enjoyed staying in the apartment. Had plenty of room, close to amenities. The booking process and then the meeter/greeter all went really well. The flowers were a nice touch. Robyn Walsh

CAM 2 is great for a couple with a child. We have now stayed here with our son when he was 8 and this trip he was 12. Quiet neighborhood, convenient to many things. Melissa Howell
(Property ref: CAM2 April 2011) 


We enjoyed our stay cause the property and the services provided were excellent! Iit was like it was described on the site and very central. We were near everything and the flat was cosy and nice. I definitly recommand your services. Thank you everything was perfect! great memories. Christel
(Property ref: AYL April 2011) 


Coach House Rentals is one of the most professional accommodations booking service I have used. Being from Australia I was hesitant to book from a company I didn't know but the group made me feel confident and secure about their service. More importantly, the accommodation was excellent and great value for money. I'm definitely coming back to London and will definitely use Coach House Rentals again! Marilyn Dee

Terrific customer service and a very welcoming start to our holiday in the UK Anita Roberts
(Property ref: ARG2 April 2011) 


The Theed St property is outstanding. A quiet location near Waterloo Station. Within easy walking distance of several shop and a great bakery. Kitchen is modern. Apartment is spacious (although it has stairs). One of the best places we have stayed in London. Highly recommended. jeff schmoll
(Property ref: THD April 2011) 


We really enjoyed our stay at the LAU property. It is in a very nice location, convenient to shops, restaurants and the tube station. The flat itself was very nice and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Deborah Eldredge
(Property ref: LAU April 2011) 


Harley was so very nice going thru everything with us. So helpful and letting us come in early so the kids could sleep a few hours. Amazing place. We have taken a few cards and have actually given them out already! We have stayed at places that don't match the description at all but this was not the case--so fantastic Upon planning our trip, we wanted to stay in a more traditional England setting. The Coach House was just what we were looking for. so quaint, so quiet, so beautiful. We were close to the Tube, close to a nice park, and close to basic groceries. We would ABSOLUTELY stay here again! .Patrice FitzGerald
(Property ref: CHTR April 2011) 


Our greeter was superb. She met us late at night and brought the Welcome Pack thereby making our arrival much more pleasant than if she had met us the next morning. She was very friendly and welcoming.

Once again your web site photos were superb and, therefore, our expectations were met. In fact, our expectations were exceeded by the layout of the property and the extra large dressing room.

The layout/design of the apartment was extremely attractive and very functional. It was a pleasure staying there. David Foot

We've used CHS for at least five visits to London and been pleased with every property as well as with your service. Thanks! Giaff Ferrante
(Property ref: ADC April 2011) 


We have stayed in some of your other properties and prefer this to any of the others. There are aspects of the property that might concern a one time visitor or perhaps someone who requires everything quite up to date but it meets our needs brilliantly. We enjoy the garden immensely and find the location very convenient. It is just a short walk to the Victoria train and tube station and the stop for the #11 bus is only about five minutes walk. The kitchen could use a bit of equipment but we seriously doubt most visitors actually use it to cook a meal. We so enjoy staying here and appreciate the opportunity to share this pretty little house. christina anderson

Fourth stay with CHS, and it will not be the last. We have enjoyed every property. Spectacular. Kari Gross
(Property ref: CRN April 2011) 


We were a family of four with two children (14 and 11). The booking went smoothly and being collected at the airport and driven to the apartment was wonderful after a 24 hour flight. The apartment was in a good street, good size, clean, well equipped and very well located. We walked to a lot of major tourist locations and it was a very short walk to the underground and restaurants. We would love to come back one day. Lin Johnson
(Property ref: SGS April 2011) 


We previously lived in London so had a good sense of what we were looking for in terms of size and location. The booking and logistics couldn't have been easier. CHL 100% met our needs.

We had to change the dates of our holiday unexpectedly and appreciated that CHL and the owner were accomodating where they could be.

We would definitely recommend CHL. Jodi Ganz

(Property ref: DNE March 2011) 


Really enjoyed our stay here. Was very homey and gave my family room to spread out. Much better than a hotel room would have been! Loved the neighborhood. I want to come back!

Coach House Rentals were very courteous and professional. We really enjoyed the property we stayed in with a great neighborhood. We will definitely contact them again if (when!) we get back to London. Susie Duncan

(Property ref: BLI March 2011) 


The property actually exceeded our expectations. Somehow the pictures on the website make the front room and the smaller bedroom look smaller and darker than they actually are. Linda Gregatto
(Property ref: WSM March 2011) 


Our stay at Ranelagh Grove was wonderful. The property is very nicely decorated, spacious, and overall delightful. The garden is a great plus. We enjoyed several sunny days and sitting in the garden in the sun was a treat. CHS provided great, responsive service during our booking process. We much look forward to future stays! David Dowell
(Property ref: RAN March 2011) 


The location of our rental flat was wonderful and the neighborhood was perfect. We enjoyed our trip so much and your service was a large part of making our trip so memorable. Thank you we will plan to use you again for our next trip to the UK. Cheri Holterman

Fay was winderful and welcoming and answered all our questions--including offering advice on where we could get more supplies, directions to the tube stop and other great tips. We had such a wonderful time in London and are so happy with our decision to stay in a flat through Coach House Rentals. As we were planning, it was great to view all the photos and see where the flat was located within the city. They answered every question we had. The flat met the needs of our family (mom, dad, 10 yr old and 13 yr old). The kids were glad to have their own space. We were glad to have our own space to unwind after a busy London day. It was a short walk to the tube each day and so much within walking distance--restaurants, museums (don't underestimate the Army Museum!), shopping. The flat is on the small side, but we made it work for us. Be advised there is no cable tv--and that's a plus or minus, depending on who in our family you ask! And, having the car service meet us at the airport was worth every penny. I can't imagine ever travelling for any length of time with my family and staying in a hotel--not anymore. Thanks so much to everyone at Coach House Rentals who made our London vacation so memorable! Can't wait to be back. Stella Suib

This is my second time renting a London flat through Coach House and the process was as professional and pleasant as always. The properties are very comfortable and clean--the pictures don't do them justice. When I stay in London for business or pleasure I will always rent through Coach House! Sarah Parrott
(Property ref: WSM January 2011) 


London is a very beautiful city but even better it was to stay in your property convenient starting point for exploring the city. It was really nice back in the evening and find every comfort at home! I don't think most will choose a hotel on my next vacation!It all ran very smoothly. zanardi cinzia

Very helpful greeter. Everything was very well arranged.

WONDERFUL PROPERTY! We would stay in this same flat again! Loved it! Best way to stay in London! So comfortable, so affordable!

This is the best way to stay in London. The rental was very affordable and convenient. It was so pleasant to have a comfortable flat to come home to in the evenings. Will definitely choose this option again! Cheryl Matherly

(Property ref: BLI December 2010) 


Given the last minute nature of our reservation request, we thought it was handled very well by Harley - indeed it saved Christmas for us! The apartment is perfectly located for many places including Hyde park, Whiteleys Cinema (so close), and even walking to Oxford Street and through the park to Kensington. Thanks Terry Betts

This is the third time I've rented from CHS and they are everything they advertise. It's easy, pleasant, and a good value for what you get. I'll rent again. Dierdre Christian

This is a lovely, happy family house with a great atmosphere. We were able to discover another bit of London which was previously unknown to us with easy access to the centre, while being quiet and offering many attractive walks in the immediate area. Jane de Susanne
(Property ref: NAP December 2010) 


The rental property was a terrific value, and the neighborhood outstanding.

Coach House Rentals made our stay in London run smoothly from beginning to end. Their ability to keep our reservations running smoothly when our trip was delayed due to weather was a great relief. The rental property exceeded our expectations, and the neighborhood was perfect. We were in easy reach of buses, taxis and the tube. Thank you to everyone for a memorable stay in London!

This was our second time using Coach House to find and book a property for a family stay in London. Like our first experience, this second time was great. The property was lovely -- exactly as presented on the website; the booking process was efficient and secure; the greeter was delightful and helpful; the little extras like the breakfast pack and the driver to take us to the airport at the end of our stay, enhanced our time in London because we could focus on what site to visit next, and not worry about logistical details. We will definitely use Coach House for future trips! Many thanks!! Teri Hessel
(Property ref: LAU December 2010) 


The apartment exceeded our expectations wonderfully. The rooms were much larger and more nicely furnished than we had thought might be the case. Tremendous value for money! A splendid apartment in a great location, with easy transit right at the door. We had a terrific experience in this apartment. Spacious and beautifully decorated, in a great location with transit right at the door - it exceeded our expectations and was great value for money. We will definitely book there again next time we are in London. Jeff Richardson

Dear Coach House Staff, Our trip to London was wonderful! The snow made it even more Christmasy! Our townhouse was everything described on your web site and more. It was great to come back to after a long day of sightseeing and not be on top of each other in a hotel room. The OXG property was perfect for the six of us and very close to the bus and tube station so getting around London was easy. We look forward to using your agency in the future. The Lum's North Carolina, USA Christine Lum
(Property ref: OXG December 2010) 


I'm writing to say how pleased I was with the rental at 7 Gledhow Gardens. It's a elegant flat, beautifully located, quiet and it felt like "home". It made our stay in London -- despite the weather! -- all the more enjoyable. Should it become free again when I visit London I'll be sure to rent it. I also want to thank your entire organization. I often rent apartments when I travel Europe but I've rarely had such great service. The woman who met me at the apartment was delightful and had even bought some basic breakfast food and milk. Everything was just perfect. This is short-term rental at its absolute best! Martin Lefebvre
(Property ref: GDH December 2010) 


I had a very wonderful stay with Coach House. The apartment SGS was spacious and lovely (exactly as described in website)and the location was superb - safe, quiet and just a short walk to the tube. We had everything we needed in the apartment and it is so much more convenient compared to a hotel, especially when you are travelling with young kids! I would also like to thank Harley and the Coach House staff who helped to keep and return a jacket we left behind in the apartment. I would certainly book a Coach House apartment for my future stays in London, for the convenience and reliability. Rachel Ang
