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.

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.
