HomefromHolme Alban House

Alban House is a great place to stay. We spent 13 nights here and were very happy with our stay. Alban House is located about a 5 minute walk to restaurants & shopping. It is about a15-20 minute walk to the train station, & there is a bus stop right in front of the building. There is also a parking spot reserved for the apartment you stay in. Very convenient. When I entered our one-bedroom the suite I discovered a complimentary bottle of wine with a note saying that the dishwasher was broken & hoped that this was compensation (the dishwasher was later replaced during our stay) for the inconvenience. The apartment is modern. The kitchen included an old microwave, but a nice induction stove, an oven and a large fridge. There was also a combo washer/dryer which was appreciated. The kitchen is stocked with a good supply of dishes, cutlery, pots & pans, etc. The apartment was clean, neat & orderly. Communication with the owner was very good. You do however need to be prepared for: 1. There are no toiletries provided - you need to bring your own shampoo, soap, etc. 2. There were only 2 rolls of toilet paper & if you need more than that for your stay, you need to purchase them yourselves. 3. No coffee or tea or bottled water is provided. 4. The 2 televisions are small & don't work well. 5. There is housekeeping once a week. 6. Washpods for the dishwasher & washing machine were very limited. Despite the things I have mentioned we would gladly stay here again.

We’ll appointed, clean, and comfortable apartment, walkable to town and train to London. Unfortunately no hot water evening before, and morning of our departure. Stayed with on previous occasion and no issues. We would stay again.

Easy to check in and check out. Very clean beautifully presented. Communication could have been more swift.

Will definitely be returning
