Vacation rentals with breakfast in St Albans

It was great staying at Shirley's. The place is very clean, quiet, and located in a great neighbourhood. The bed is comfortable, and we had some enjoyable chats. I highly recommend Shirley's room.

Jane's home was perfectly located for my visit to the city - in between the historic city centre and the areas of independent shops and cafes on Mill Road and Norfolk Street. Jane is a great host and good communicator. The bed and room are comfy and quiet. There was even the option to make toast with Jane's home made bread, or to have a bowl of cereals for breakfast.

There is a gate to get on the property and we were unable to call Miranda when at the gate due to poor reception. I imagine this was because we are from the US and ATT is our carrier and I suppose England does not have a lot of ATT towers for cellular. We were unable to make phone contact at the gate and drove about 5 or so minutes into town to get good phone coverage and drove back. The house was clean and in a pleasant area. Miranda was most helpful.

This is the best of old fashioned BnBs, in a real person's real home. One host, one guest, friendly discussion over a civilised breakfast. Quiet street just off a big park, with a bus route on the other side of the park. Less than 30 minutes' walk to the station. So far, so good. AND THEN! An idyllic little river at the bottom of the garden (not the Thames); Andrea kindly lent me her kayak. I paddled a little way upstream, and then, oops, swam back. The brook is perfect for both activities, depending on your skill. Andrea hosed me down without a fuss. I couldn't ask for a better host.

Mara is a wonderful host she has a lovely house I found the whole experience really good, very clean comfy bed, a nice room & Mara is extremely helpful & nice five stars from me.

This was our second stay and not our last. Sue and Geoff let you into their home and you fit right in. The continental breakfast also makes this a cut above other Airbnb's and also nearby hotels. Highly recommend.

Barbara was a very welcoming host, the rooms were most beautiful with home from home amenities. Barbara was available when needed but also respected our space. We were able to use the kitchen and microwave, which was a bonus. Would we go back…. Yes! Would we recommend….. Already have. Fabulous location, a short ride from Cambridge, Bury St Edmond’s and Colchester. We had 3 bedrooms that were cozy and well equipped, with tea, coffee, hot chocolate and some lovely chocolates. The trip was for a special occasion and the accommodation met all my expectations making it a lovely short break away. Thank you Barbara

I stayed overnight for work. The room was a single bed but ideal for my needs. Lynn is really friendly and happy to chat or give you space if you need it.

Another great stay at Alex’s place. The flat is on a pretty unique location right on Church Street and with views out over the rooftops towards central London. The flat is clean, tidy, and well equipped. Alex is a really helpful host and couldn’t have been more helpful with any questions.

This flat was very comfortable for our party of three. The kitchen was well appointed and fully functional. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean. The location was very convenient to portabello road and it’s many shops and eateries and convenient to bus and tube lines. Check in and out were easy.

What a great place to stay! Had everything you could need and the location was perfect. Walking distance to Marlow and excellent links to M4/40. All in all it was a pleasure to stay here. Sarah was extremely efficient and helpful which made it even more perfect! Thank you Sarah for everything

Loved James’ place 💖 We were visiting my friend nearby and how fortunate we were to stay at his place! It was so cozy and felt like home. The bed was very comfortable (we only slept in the master bedroom) and the modern kitchen was thoughtfully laid out. Quiet neighbourhood but super accessible to everything - short walk to grocery stores & nearby parks. Appreciated detailed instructions and recommendations! Will definitely come back and stay again (if James likes us :D) + also, spotted some cute wild foxes nearby! Very exciting!

A very enjoyable stay in a great apartment. A fantastic base to explore central London, you really are right in the heart of it all. The apartment was exactly as shown in the photos, a good size space, lots of character, comfortable, clean and considering the very central location it was very quiet and peaceful. And the provided foodstuffs and fizz were very generous and welcomed. Wim is a great host, excellent communications from start to finish and when we had a slight issue with initially entering the building, he replied instantly to my message and all was sorted out. Would definitely recommend a stay in this lovely apartment and I am sure I shall book again at some point.

Great place to stay, I booked this for my parents whilst they visited us in Henley and it was great. James was really accommodating and welcoming!

We enjoyed our second stay at Helens apartment, fantastic property very well equipped with everything you need and more , very good location and Helen is a very responsive , friendly and helpful host. Thank you

Our family (2 adults with 3 teenagers) stayed at Jen & Matt’s place for 6 nights in March 2025. It was perfect for us. Lots of space and all the amenities we needed. We were on an early arriving flight and they allowed us early access to the flat, which was a lifesaver for that first day. The flat is in a lovely family-oriented neighbourhood with the beautiful Queen’s Park nearby. It is totally outside of the hustle and bustle of London, but right on the Bakerloo Line which allows super easy access to all the sights. It is also on the Lionness line which takes you directly to Watford Junction where you catch the shuttle to Warner Bros Studios to visit the Harry Potter sets. It couldn’t be better situated in my opinion. Jen & Matt provided milk, eggs, butter, jam, crumpets, tea and coffee to get us started, which was a really nice touch. There is a Tesco Express nearby, so it was easy to buy groceries. I did a load of laundry and everything worked fine. Highly recommend!

There is a reason Deborah is a Super host! This was a perfect Air b&b experience for me and my dog Hugo. Nothing was too much trouble, Deborah made us feel welcome immediately into her beautiful home, which is set in a gorgeous location a short walk from Hampstead village. I was spoilt with a lovely healthy breakfast and fresh coffee. This is a rare find and a treat, so my recommendation is to book quickly before someone else beats you to it!

Fiona is a fabulous hostess. Great location, beautiful accommodations, delicious breakfast. We enjoyed chatting with Fiona over breakfast every morning and she gave us super helpful travel advice every day. Thank you Fiona, for making our trip fantastic - hope to stay with you again!

Cute Annexe in the countryside. very quiet, warm and cosy, and the array of lamps really accentuated this. nice large dining lounge space and comfortable bed. lovely little extras with the local apple juice , butter, bread and milk etc with a nespresso coffee machine. towels are very fluffy and large too. davina was very helpful and her washing up fairy did a magical job.

I had a very pleasant stay, David's place is bright and airy but cosy at the same time. Great breakfast and lovely hosts.

Excellent place to stay! Really happy with the visit and will return!

Verna’s place is absolutely gorgeous - extremely welcoming, spotlessly clean, everything you need in two beautiful light and airy rooms, very comfortable bed (very important!) with lovely bed linen and pillows. Verna had left some lovely personal touches and simple but great breakfast. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

We enjoyed a one night stopover on our travels. We were welcomed by John and given a key. We had a nice walk to the local pub - the Kings Head for nice beer and an evening meal. The room was comfortable and well ventilated with bathroom opposite. We were welcomed into this family home. Some cereals, tea, coffee, and milk were provided for breakfast. Highly recommended

We had a fabulous two night stay with David in his 400 year-old property. He showed us round and allowed us full use of the kitchen and large garden. We thoroughly enjoyed David's company over breakfast and dinner. Both bathrooms are downstairs shared with other guests and the host. Highly recommended
