St Albans is an historic city, and this property was formally inhabited by a Senior Government Minister who worked for the Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. Unconnected to this, St Albans has potentially more pubs per capita than any other City in the world. The Farriers Arms, which is literally across the road, is where the world-famous CAMRA was founded. As part of your stay, to introduce you to the ‘local’ lifestyle, we will buy the first drink in the pub for all guests (ask for Frazier or Jack) and hope you continue to support local businesses.
There is a ‘fun bible’ in our house where we provide you with the best of everything you could possibly enjoy in the City of St Albans and surrounding areas. We have details for our guests at some of the top restaurants, bars, entertainment and sports venues.
You will have access of the whole property. Two keys will be provided.
There is superfast 5G broadband available throughout the whole property which can support multiple devices.
The garden shed has a beer and prosecco fridge which we encourage you to use. There are a wide range of indoor and outdoor games available. We also have two inflatable 9-foot kayaks in our shed which are available for you to take to the local lakes and rivers. The ‘bible’ includes details of some of the best routes to kayak.
In the City of St Albans there are hundreds of eating and drinking venues including family-owned bistros up to globally recognised chains including Cote, The Ivy and Five Guys.
