Whether or not Eckington Rooms will be there for you when you want them I cannot say. The hosts indicated they might be getting out of the business soon. I understand, but hope not.
Booked through a travel agency who plans walking tours, my single night at Eckington Rooms was one of the nicest of the 6 nights they booked.
As the only guests in the home - aside from the hosts - I was given the run of the entire third floor which meant that I could leave the door to my large room open and not worry about hearing anyone else or vice versa.
The room was oversize, the home absolutely gorgeous, sparkling clean, and the decor cute and stylish. How do you top all that?
Well, they didn't need to but being situated about 1 mile from East Molesey's charming downtown, the hosts offered to drive me there and come get me when I was finished eating and drinking. Is that not the definition of hospitality?
The next morning, while eating a wonderful breakfast (included) in the dining room, the hosts again went out of their way to make phone calls on my behalf and arrange for me a round-trip cab ride with the fare pre-negotiated.
In a place such as this I'd have liked to stay a few days, so comfortable was I feeling. Alas, the road called and I was off. Eckington Rooms is now just a wonderful memory of a comfy bed, a beautiful home, and the most helpful, gracious hosts I've ever encountered. read more
