Firstly, the owner Jane messaged us before we arrived, so we knew how to get in, in case she wasn't at home. The house is in a lovely street, very close to cafés, pubs, and shops. Our room was impeccably clean, and stocked with thoughtful touches, like high quality teas, biscuits, and bathrobes. The bed was comfy, and the room was spacious too. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast prepared just for us, by Jane, before we left, which was extra, but excellent value. We also had a very interesting conversation with Jane and her husband. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Lilac Door if you're in the Dulwich Area.

Couldn't fault our stay here.

Jane is an incredible host! She loves to get to know her guests and make sight-seeing recommendations based on her guests’ interests. She was so warm and welcoming upon arrival, making it incredibly hard to leave. My friend and I felt so comfortable and at home in such a clean, comfortable and friendly environment. Jane also taught my friend and I how to use London’s train system, which saved us a lot of time and money when trying to check everything off our daily itineraries. Be sure to grab breakfast from Jane as well, we loved her French toast! The Lilac Door is located near a few cafes which really gives you the local London experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Next time I’m in London, I will definitely be booking with Jane! I loved everything about the Lilac Door. I will absolutely be staying here again. Jane is a lovely host and is welcoming to all walks of life. She was so excited for us to experience London and gave us plenty of recommendations for the younger crowd and for those who like true crime/horror!

If you're looking for a quiet place when visiting London, this is it ! The location is just 15 min away from the Victoria Station and yet you dont' feel like you're in the city. Furthermore, Jane has been a wonderful host, providing the visitor an oasis of calm after a busy day in London, I highly recommand this place and thank you Jane for the fantastic welcome you gave me !

Nice room, comfortable bed with attached bathroom. The skylights were nice to watch the stars through at night. The neighborhood was quite and calm. Our hosts, Jane and Keith were very nice and helpful. We wish we had had more time to talk and converse with them. We would love to stay here again during our next London trip.

Perfectly placed for our visit to Dulwich Picture Gallery, only a pleasant 10 minute walk. The room was impeccable, our hosts had thought of everything a visitor would need. We decided to add on breakfast to our stay to make our morning easy, the choice was broad and the cooked breakfast delicious. I would highly recommend and enjoy staying again.

This is a very good quality B and B ( available as room only if preferred) in the lovely area of Dulwich with restaurants, cafes, entertainment and a park also nearby in Herne Hill and Brixton. Very close to central London. A warm welcome from lovely lady, Jane with tea, coffee, biscuits and water in the room. The spacious loft bedroom and shower room were modern, well- equipped and very comfortable. A super stay , would stay again !

I had an amazing experience staying at Jane and Keith's hotel, which is their beautiful home. The location is perfect, with easy access to transportation and situated in a calm residential area. Services and places to eat are nearby. Jane and Keith's hospitality and attention to detail were exceptional, making me feel at home. The rooms were elegant and comfortable. I highly recommend their unique and welcoming home for an unforgettable stay.

If you’re a tall man like me (6.1 ft) try to avoid the rooms at the top floor that have a sloping ceiling and you have to be constantly careful not to hit your head.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful bed and breakfast. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets very clean and smooth. We slept very well:) We could open a few windows so that fresh air could come inside the room. And it was quiet in the night. The bathroom was also very clean and nice with a large window. The distance to the centre of London was close, around 5 minutes walk to train and then 15 minutes to victoria. The air quality in this neighbourhood is definitely better than London city. The host/ Jane was very friendly and kind and gave us tips for nice restaurants in the area and info about london. There is also some organic tea and coffee in the room and cookies. We will come back here for sure!

nothing.

I had a very nice stay at this guest house. The room was comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious and clean. The host was friendly and welcoming, which made me feel right at home. The location was also great — close to trains and buses, making it easy to get around.

Just stayed the one night and it was perfect. Jane was so welcoming and friendly. The house was inviting and my room on the top floor was very modern and comfortable. Lots of facilities in the room too. I will definitely stay again and hopefully I will have the breakfast next time as I missed out this occasion. Great location and 5 mins from W Dulwich station. Highly recommended.
