Family-friendly vacation rentals in St Albans

We really enjoyed our time in London. The airbnb is located in a fine area, walkable and close to bus and tube stops. Any store or restaurant you may need is close by. The unit has 2 bedrooms and the bathroom is roomy and good. The kitchen allows you to prepare meals. There was a party next door and the neighbors were loud and obnoxious. But that's the nature of living close to each other. Thanks Reggie, your place worked out well for us.

We had a wonderful Christmas week at Flagpole Cottage. The hosts' home was clean, welcoming and extremely well-equipped. We had everything necessary for preparing family feasts, having a wood fire, plenty of bathrooms and comfortable beds. Robin and Francine even left a beautifully decorated real Christmas tree for us the enjoy (and put our presents under), a very thoughtful touch. We enjoyed the hot tub and trampoline (we were lucky with the weather, cold but not rainy) as well as the local walks to pubs. We bought our Christmas turkey (ordered in advance) at the fabulous Flower Farm shop, which is nearby and is a great source for all things edible. Robin and Francine's guide to local amenities and activities is thorough and quite useful. Robin was very attentive and open to queries but everything was so clearly laid out we didn't really have any questions. One last thing - the gardens are exceptional - even in December! I was in awe - especially the topiary. The old yew trees! xx

Great property and will definitely use for future stays with my clients.

Carol Anne and Kelly were great hosts, kind and helpful. The apartment was very nice, equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable. The location is excellent, very close to the subway and buses, the neighborhood is great. We had a great time, thaks a lot.

Great space for a family. We would consider staying again.

Absolute lovely place in a quiet area of London. The flat is exactly as described and it has everything you need for a short or long stay. Totally recommended, would love to come back!

Von der ersten Kontaktaufnahme bis zum Check-out ein wunderbarer, freundlicher Kontakt! Flexibel beim Check-in worüber wir sehr dankbar waren! Die Wohnung sowie der Ausblick waren ein Traum und wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel sind fußläufig sehr gut erreichbar

Just arrived home from a wonderful two night stay at Sally’s annexe. Where to begin, the annexe itself was full of character, cosy and had everything you could possibly need for a getaway. Robes and sliders for the hot tub provided, lots of lighting, a very well stocked kitchen and a lovely private front area where me and my partner Zoë enjoyed sitting in the evening with a log fire and bbq. The settings and garden, not to mention the cottage are beautiful, we’ve never felt peace like it. Lots of beautiful walks, pubs and restaurants nearby and plenty of great recommendations from Sally too. Sally made us feel at home instantly and gave us a tour during check in so we knew exactly where to find everything. Beau the cat was just the cherry on the cake. Host, home and surroundings, just lovely. Also the bed in the annexe may be the comfiest we’ve stayed in. Would visit again in a heartbeat, if you want a quiet break from the city. This is the place.

Wir waren mit unseren 2 Teenager-Kindern über Ostern in London - die Wohnung war ideal, um von dort nach Central und in die westliche Umgebung Londons zu gelangen. Sehr stylisch eingerichtet und alles funktionierte!

Jubed was a terrific host - extremely responsive and helpful (even when I managed to lock our passports in the safe on Easter, and couldn’t get them out!). The place was also perfect for our large family - clean, spacious, nice kitchen, outdoor area. We also loved the neighborhood, and since the Piccadilly line was just a five minute walk from the house, it was easy to get anywhere in London. Great place! Would stay there again.

Cosy cottage, very homely and well equipped - Andy has thought of everything! We enjoyed a family go on the Wii doing Just Dance. Great fun! Liked the helpful little notes around the place, especially those for the bathroom heated towel rail. We enjoyed a lovely walk around Great Gransden & Little Gransden. Lots of thatched cottages and beautiful houses. A lovely peaceful location. Great for visiting our daughter at Uni in Cambridge.

Es war sehr idyllisch bei Kieran, die Scheune ist sehr schön ausgebaut und wir hatten eine super Übernachtung dort.

Very cozy, comfortable, beautiful house. Lovely walks nearby, especially for dogs. Very friendly hosts. Thoroughly recommended

Such a lovely home, we didn't want to leave! Hosts were excellent communicators and also very warm and kind people. Loved our walks along the canal and peaceful surroundings. We will be back!

We stayed at The Clockhouse whilst visiting Windsor Castle. We would not hesitate to stop there again. Beautiful place, very peaceful. Very comfortable and nicely decorated. Fantastic stay! Thank you, Sam x

Great place. Just a few minutes walk from the town centre. The house was clean and tidy with good facilities. No dedicated parking, but plenty of on street parking. We found a space right outside the house every time we came back. Adam was a good host, we had no problems, but he was very responsive with a couple of queries we had. Some basic supplies were provided, eg milk, bread, butter, breakfast cereal etc which was good. As it was Easter, he even threw in a couple of little chocolate eggs which was a nice suprise. Overall, I'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this 100%

Patricia's home is lovely, warm and cozy. We booked at the last minute so that our family could spend Christmas together. We appreciated the lovely welcome and provision of staples like milk, butter, tea, coffee, juice and also crusty bread. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a full Christmas dinner with ease. Patricia had even gone to the trouble to decorate her home for Christmas for us, which was very special. We all enjoyed our time together there. It is a bonus to have a full bathroom and an extra toilet for a family, too. The setting in the park is peaceful and welcoming and there are nice walks around the woods and lakes; our dog loved it, too. This is a wonderful place to stay in every way and Patricia is a very thoughtful and accommodating host. Thank you!

We were greeted well upon arrival. They showed and explained everything. We were also lucky to see beautiful peacocks on the territory. The house corresponds to the description and photos. There is a good sauna, a large pool and there is a passage from a small goubina to a large one. The jacuzzi is also large. Everything is clean and neat, we liked it, the child is delighted, we will definitely come again.🙃

Although the entrance from the street is a bit old looking, once the apartment door is opened, one realizes what a wonderful spot it is. There were all the amenities I needed, the bed and couch were quite comfortable. It was a great walk to my office across the river. (and of course, Battersea park is very closeby). The host was very responsive to my questions. I hope the apartment is available the next time I am in London!

Had a great stay. Comfy bed, great location and Wendy was helpful with local amenities . Will be back for sure

Great spot if you're using public transportation in London. There's a bus stop a short walk away. Friendly hosts, beautiful yard!

The barn is beautiful and very well fitted out. Fabulous setting, absolutely stunning and super peaceful and quiet. The one bathroom was challenging at times with a party of adults but the rest of the barn is faultless and such a joy to stay in. The tennis court and other amenities were fabulous.

We had a fabulous long stay in Susan’s house. The house was perfect, spacious and homely and in a great location near Clapham high st and Clapham common with lots of nice shops, parks and close to lots of public transport. Susan was very welcoming and responsive and went above and beyond to make us comfortable and help us during our stay.

Another lovely weekend break at The Barn. It's a perfect space for our group of friends to catch up and chill out. Always spotless and clean. We lucked out with the weather and the pool and tennis court got some good use. We had a lovely 6 mile walk around the Surrey Hills with the beautiful Abinger Hatch pub a half way point. Daniel was very welcoming and friendly and accessible to answer our queries. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils and crockery but we forgot cling film and foil, so bring some if you think you will be using it. There is a lovely outdoor seating area and dining table which was a lovely afternoon sun trap. All in all a perfect stay and we will be coming again next year!
