I had house envy as soon as we walked through the door! What a lovely place. Barry our host showed us around and pretty much left us to it. Lovely all round - room was extremely well equipped and comfortable, bathroom, although shared was extremely clean, and there were nice little touches like there being cotton wool pads being available...

We so enjoyed having these guests to stay and are so pleased that they were happy here. We have taken on board the comment about the shower gel (it is in fact Radox) and will try to find another which is more appealing to both men and women! More

The B& B which looked very nice and smart was full so we opted for self catering. If only I'd reviewed some of the reviews!!! I can only echo the other comments below. Everything was provided and seemed to work but it was oh so dirty. I had to completely clean the greasy kitchen and all the crockery before we... More

We find this review disconcerting to say the least, as none of the points mentioned were raised at the time of the stay. In fact quite to the contrary - as when the "jolly" owner and the housekeeper met the guests and asked if everything was satisfactory the answer on each occasion was "fine, thank you". At no time was... More

I stayed in one of these. It wasnt expensive, but even at the rate, I didnt think it was particularly impressive. The beds were shonky second had items and very uncomfortable. The bathroom with shower was tired and parking was pay and dispaly in the car park opposite- no free parking. I think customers could do better looking elsewhere.

I am very sorry that this guest was so disappointed with their stay. I must however dispute the state of the beds - the mattresses in the self-catering properties were all replaced with brand new ones in the last six months, and certainly before September 2012. The accommodation is almost in the town centre which most guests find a bonus,... More

We are a family of 3 from overseas and we spent a week in St.Albans during Christmas time to meet our son living there. I chose the self- catering solution because it was the best solution for us to spend more time together. If I had read all the reviews until the bottom, especially those regarding the self-catering apartments, I... More

This is a really homely bed and breakfast in a grand georgian property with lovely old fashioned furnishings which are extremely comfortable. The hosts are friendly and helpful which is critical with any B&B. The breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked hot breakfast with a wide range of continental options too. The only downside is that the rooms are not en-suite... More

Stayed two nights in Sept 2012. Beautiful old but updated house with a nice comfortable bed. Convenient to the train station and only a 15 minute walk to the Abbey. The only let down were the Breakfasts that were just your standard English full and at the margin of acceptability. Overall I would stay here again, but might ask for... More
