The house

Two bedroom sleeping up to 4 guests, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, in Holborn. Bright and airy with lots of natural light, Red Lion Square defies its basement location thanks to the skylights in its sitting room and, more surprisingly, a delightful open-air, plant-filled courtyard, which anchors the home and is accessible from both the master bedroom and the sitting room. The clean-lined and minimal aesthetic of simple furnishings in a neutral palette is given a healthy dose of character by the London-centric theme running through the home, which includes tube maps and signs and vibrant local artwork.

Spread over a single level, there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms - one ensuite - making this the perfect retreat for a small family, group of friends or even a solo business traveller. Located on a leafy square in the heart of Holborn, the delights of Covent Garden and the city's West End are but a short walk away. Between May and September a fan will be provided in all bedrooms.
