Ardmore House Hotel

The apartment was large and decent for the family of adults. It was a cosy apartment and the most important thing to us, was that it was peaceful and quiet. Excellent hosts, who are Italians. Breakfast was as expected, although a couple in their selfish nature took all the croisants and left the rest of the guests with none. Guess what, these two couples in their 30s did not even eat them. How bloody selfish. I hope they rot in hell; the two of them.

Our room had a comfortable bed, good shower over the bath with soft towels. I was a bit apprehensive after seeing some negative reviews but apart from the slightly dated carpets (bit worn in our room) it was all fine. Very good breakfast with lovely freshly baked croissants, a cooked breakfast, cereals etc. (The staff even remembered we had requested oat milk) Friendly helpful staff, parking space behind the building, lovely garden and some amazing houseplants. There is a trainline behind the hotel but the trains did not bother us at all. There are some lovely original features too in the Edwardian building.

Price Quality ratio is excellent. We particularly like the typical English character of the house, the interior, the bar, the dining rooms and the sleeping rooms. It is a comfortable hotel with very good service. The Italian restaurant serves a large variety of dishes, but I never tasted such a nice Spagetti Milanese! So they are also excellent in the simple dishes. Any way very worthwhile to visit, also because it is situated quite close to the centre of the lovely town, St Albans
