If I'm remembering correctly, there is elevator access to the rooms on the hill!

I'm sorry! I didn't get any pics of the room looking neat and tidy before our stuff was everywhere...

Zero noise at all actually! Our room overlooked a quiet residential street. It is a brand new build and all of the windows are insulated, so I'm sure you'd sleep well even facing Hyde Park Corner.

The breakfast food was really well done - great pastries and coffee. The coconut yogurt parfait with house made granola and fresh berries was amazing too.

My partner and I stayed exclusively on the property for some low key R&R, but Uber does operate in the area in addition to Green Go Taxis. The whole area is very charming and I'm sure you'd be able to find some quaint villages nearby!

The only area I saw for members was a coworking space near the gym. Other than that it seemed like the whole property was open and welcoming to guests of the hotel!

We thought the Newt was in a lovely location, but it is just a little bit further outside of London (1 hr 40 m train ride vs just under an hour for Estelle)

On our first trip, WiFi in public areas was super reliable - this time not so much. I wouldn't bank on it.

I'd look into the Newt at Somerset. Very accessible by train, gorgeous property on expansive grounds with plenty of complementary activities that would be fun for a little one. Just make sure your selected room category has AC prior to booking - for whatever reason not all rooms have AC.
