Tennis at the Lensbury, Teddington, Middlesex

What's the curbappeal?
- The hotel is situated in a lovely village, west of London (Teddington, Middlesex): think olde worlde atmosphere with lots of lovely, cosy, cafes and pubs. You can also walk along the thames (Richmond is about a half hour jog away - albeit I jogged slowly!)
- friends invited me to play at their tennis club at the hotel. It's got lots of courts, a lovely atmosphere (think cosy village surroundings and relaxed 'ladies that lunch' atmosphere). It's also got lots of tennis heritage.
- however the hotels decor definitely isn't to my taste (very tired & unsympathetically restored: mix of old and new furniture, but not in a good way...)

With love,
Ms. Curbappeal x
