Home Menu

I offer a tasty selection of breakfast and dinner to guests. All dishes are homemade and personal favourites of mine. All meat is sourced from local award-winning butcher Vic Gibson Butchers, and all fish from Farrago Fish, one of London's finest fish suppliers, selecting from Billingsgate Market and the British Coast.

Dishes are prepared in the kitchen at the main lodge next door and served at your table on china plates with silver plated cutlery, the full restaurant experience, without any of the washing up.

As dishes vary, please ask for more details on arrival.

What guests say

Simon took Airbnb experience to another level. His apartment was immaculate and the attention to detail was best we've experienced. Many items were not expected and what was available beyond was commendable. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting the Crystal Palace area and equally the transport connections were so close to enable getting into city centre quickly. We were 4 adults so the 2nd bedroom with bunk beds wasn't ideal but was comfortable and didn't inconvenience. Will definitely be returning if dates suit our needs.

Simon was an excellent host from start to finish. When we arrived, he gave us a quick tour of the apartment, answered all of our questions, and gave us some helpful advice about the local area. He also let us know that he was available if we needed anything during our stay, and with him living next door it was reassuring to know help was close by if needed. The apartment itself was exactly what we were looking for. It was comfortable, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for our two-night stay. We would definitely recommend staying here and wouldn't hesitate to book again in the future.

Simon was an outstanding host from start to finish. Communication was excellent, with clear instructions and quick responses that made check-in and the entire stay completely hassle-free. The property was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Simon clearly takes great pride in hosting, and it shows in the attention to detail and welcoming atmosphere. The location was fantastic, and the accommodation was both comfortable and well-equipped. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a great Airbnb experience.
