The MainHouse

Named after its owner, Caroline Main, The Main House occupies a Victorian terraced house on Colville Road, a street back from Portobello Road. The guesthouse lets four suites, each taking up a full floor of the building and combining antique furniture with contemporary fittings; the ground-floor Elephant Room has its own street entrance, a king-size bed and an en-suite walk-in shower. Rather than a communal breakfast room, guests are given a book of discounts for nearby cafés and restaurants, including Daylesford Organic. Main has hosted guests personally for more than two decades, and the property holds a 4.6 rating from over 250 Tripadvisor reviews, placing it among the site's top-rated Notting Hill bed and breakfasts as of 2026. The house has stayed a single small guesthouse throughout, rather than expanding into further properties or joining a hotel group, with rooms typically priced from around 140 pounds a night.
