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 are an italian couple who stayed in one of the self-catering apartments for one month in december 2012 prior to movie into rented accomodation.We were confortable, very well looked after and Barbara the housekeeper cleaned every day and even did our laundry. We were supplied with a continental breakfast but extra food was provided- fruit etc.; and we were... 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.

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.

If I had read all the reviews until the bottom, especially those regarding the self-catering apartments, I... More

We are a family of five, from overseas, and we had the pleasure to stay a week with a very helpful and friendly couple: Barry and Carol. We couldn´t have had a better welcome. 178 London road, full of great atmosphere, very confortable and extremely cosy. Congratulations!!! Diogenes and Elizabete´s family

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

We stayed over a weekend early September 2012 and this was our first visit to St Albans. The house is well situated within easy walking distance of the town and great to leave the car with plenty of on street parking or in the lane. After being welcomed into the front door entrance we were shown the back entrance for... More
