阿爾瑪住宿加早餐旅館(Alma House B&B)

This B&B was perfect for our visit to Legoland which is only 5 minutes away. Our stay was relaxed because we had a family room for our unusual group - grandmother, mother, teenager and baby - which worked, and breakfast was provided in our room, a good continental selection, which made life easy. Very clean, well appointed. On street parking.

Really lovely B&B. Great location. Rooms modern and clean. Garden Cottage is great. The weather was great so we were able to have breakfast in the garden. Had the run of the main house so cam back in the evening and had drinks together. Easy to access rooms. Great for visit g Royal Ascot.

We were visiting Windsor to take in the Castle, Eton, etc. This impressive B&B looked good from its reviews but was even better in person. We arrived way too early and pulled up on the drive. The chap who was working on preparing our room had no problem with us being early and said he'd get our room finished asap then we could just move in. It was OK to leave our car on the drive while we went for a quick mooch around Windsor. The chap was true to his word and handed over the keys when we returned. He was very smiley throughout and we brought him a couple of doughnuts back for him as a small 'thank you'. The availability of parking was what had appealed to us when we were looking to stay in Windsor. There is a longish driveway along the side of Alma House and guests can park there in a line, on a first come, first served basis. This could cause a problem getting out on leaving if one is blocked in but our smiley chap had it under control. Guests are requested to leave their car keys behind when going out so it wasn't a problem to shuffle the cars when we left. Breakfast is provided in the room - there is a toaster, fresh bread, bagels, fresh milk (in the fridge) and packets of cereals. All perfectly good and convenient. We don't think you can beat this place if you're looking for somewhere that is handy for town, has parking included and is true value for money.

We stayed for two nights (Sunday and Monday). We were fortunate because we were able to collect our tickets for a Monday trip to Windsor Castle just in the nick of time before closing and also were able to visit the Eton College Museum of Eton Life which only opens on Sundays just before it closed for the weekend. We were able to park easily in the drive for the whole stay. Once parked the car didn't move. You leave your car keys in your room in case manoeuvres are necessary. Our room (1A) was comfortable and a good size. The adjacent bathroom (not en suite but our own, ie not shared) was enormous with a superb roll top bath, large shower and fireplace(!). Not being en suite was not an issue because dressing gowns are provided so it wasn't too different from our experience at home. For rooms 1A and 2A breakfast is a pleasant DIY continental experience in the breakfast room with smart adjoining kitchen. Alma House is probably about 15 minutes from Windsor Castle entrance going at a moderate walking pace. So the location and availability of free parking is a real bonus. The only downside is that the aeroplanes switched direction on Tuesday morning which gave us a pretty early awakening. Surprisingly they are much louder when landing. When taking off, many bank away and they are also much higher so the noise isn't nearly as noticeable. Leaving was fun. Two cars needed to be moved for us to get out. Once we'd "You Tubed" how to start an Audi A4 we were good to go. We noticed the property is up for sale. Let's hope others get to enjoy a similar experience to us in future.
