No problem with checking in or out. The pull out bed is small but works if you’re small. The place is smaller than the photos but works well for 1-2 people. ##### Clarissa W. Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan J. 19 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely, quaint guesthouse My husband and I enjoyed a 12 night stay at this guesthouse. We mainly used it for sleeping as spent majority of time at our daughter’s and family’s house nearby. Location was perfect for our needs and amenities as well.Communication with the management company Pass the Keys was very good and responded promptly to any questions we had.As the weather turned quite warm during our stay, having a fan available would have been helpful or a key access to open the top window in the main living area.Thank you and we would certainly stay there again. ##### Susan J. Stayed 12 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie P. 16 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pleasant Family Stay Ideal for our young family of four, particularly useful for us as we wanted to visit London but not be in the city and wanted to enjoy a more green space/playgrounds etc. which St Albans has. Easy access to transport (bus/train) for London days, can walk or bus to the supermarket (rec. Morrisons) and nice local restaurants/pubs available. Would prefer if the sofa bed was made up for our arrival as we are a party of four and needed both beds, but additional linen was on hand so no trouble to sort out. Would happily recommend and stay again. Thank you to the owners for being so welcoming and helpful during our stay. ##### Katie P.
