Great location, comfortable room and good facilities

Surprised to find that the room was on the 2nd floor with no lift - quite a challenge getting luggage up there - I really think this needs to be highlighted, if we had been less than fit, we would have struggled (more than we did) getting luggage up there. Also, the room lacked a chair and desk - there was plenty of space for this. And could REALLY use some shelving in the bathroom, most of our stuff had to live on the floor. Perhaps the owners should try living in the rooms for a week !

Room and ensuite were very clean and quiet and table now provided for sponge bags. Cotton sheets and towels very nice quality. Spacious room with mini fridge. Kitchenette useful and adequately equipped. Location and parking were perfect. Nice that we could leave the car there on arrival and also until ready to leave. Good lighting outside made it feel safe at night. We like this property as it's easy and convenient. Plenty of tea and coffee supplied and appreciate the arm chairs-2 now :)

Nowhere in the room to hang full-length coats/dresses-only a half-height wardrobe. We had to put our cases on the floor so you either had to pack unpack everything into the small wardrobe or fetch things at floor level. Case racks would be really useful. This hasn't changed in 2 years. These comments are intended to be helpful.

Messages from the host prior to arrival were very detailed and helpful with information about how to access the property and then the room keys, and also about the parking facilities on site. Our room ‘St Albans’ was on the second floor and had a lovely view of St Albans cathedral. The room was a perfect temperature and felt snuggly and warm even though it was very cold outside. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was really good and powerful. The shared kitchenette on the first floor was very useful too. The location of Torrington Hall is perfect for exploring St Albans, located in the heart of the city. It is also well located for both train stations, only a short walk from the property to St Albans City train station.

There wasn’t anything to not like.

We had a lovely time in st albans and a lovely stay at torrington hall, there were a few issues the milk was sorted not enough pillows but we probably asked for some extra, the shower was very loose on the wall thought it was going to fall off the over head shower would not stop dripping we reported it twice but no-one came to fix it so was a bit disappointed as it was very annoying at night not very good service help really some people would say you’ve got our money so thats it overall a good stay but would ask about these bits before we came back again

Convenience, location, use of car parking for 24 hours, cleanliness, warmth, comfortable bed, two comfortable chairs, having a fridge, bedside tables and lamps, having 2 hand towels + 2 bath towels, well stocked tea/coffee tray (plus chocolate - a nice thought! Very handy to have the use of a kitchen, though not required on this occasion. House looked very festive with a tree and decorations!

Lack of shelf or somewhere in shower room to put toiletry bags. Some light fittings had missing lamps! Due to location by a busy road, it was rather noisy, so that can affect where one chooses to stay! Carrying bags up two flights of stairs - not so convenient for older people.

I had booked several rooms for family members because we had a wedding nearby, and I was allowed to use one of the conference rooms in order for us all to eat breakfast together, which was kind. The rooms are very nice, with really comfortable beds and beautifully clean bathrooms. There are one or two minor maintenance items which are no doubt on their list of things to do, but nothing that spoiled our stay. It suited us perfectly, with plenty of parking on site and very close to all the shops and restaurants of St Albans.

My only quibbles are very minor ones - the ipad on which you are supposed to register your car details wasn't working, which we discovered after several frustrating attempts! I hadn't realised in advance that there was someone actually living in at least one of the other rooms - one of the kitchenettes was full of someone's food, washing-up etc. And it's a shame that they don't tidy up the land around the house - the house itself is an imposing Victorian building, with well-equipped rooms but the outside seems a bit sad. However there was nothing that spoiled our stay, and we would happily stay here again.

Great location for walking access to St-Albans town centre. Excellent on-site parking. Easy to get into property. Huge room, comfy bed and powerful shower.

Given the size of the room and the strength of the shower, the shower cubicle could possibly do with being a bit larger. People walking up the iron staircase behind the building could maybe see into the bathroom as the top window pane by the shower seemed to be normal glass rather frosted.

The room itself was stunning and the bathroom was huge, both with a beautiful view of the cathedral. (Almost) perfect for our first anniversary getaway !!

There was a faulty downlighter in our room (Marlborough) which constantly flickered, regardless of how bright or dim the lights were being adjusted to and unfortunately the main light fixture in the center of the room wasn’t working (think the bulb was blown) so we had no choice but to have the down lighters on which drove me mad after a couple of hours (especially while trying to do my makeup in the only mirror in the room, which was typically right below the flickering light). We also noticed that there was no microwave in the kitchenette unless I missed it? Overall we LOVE Torrington Hall and have stayed in the Sopwell room previously which again, was absolutely stunning! Definitely one of our favorite escape destinations and will 100% be back again soon.

The photos, in fact do not show the size of the rooms which were enormous. They also did not convey the charm of the property which was beautiful. Rooms had everything you could require and was situated between the town Centre and the glorious Verulamium Park. Although there is no breakfast included there is a kitchenette if you wished to provide your own, however, there are many choices up the hill in the town centre to cater for anyone

Nothing

Very nice old house, good quality, if you need total privacy this is your optin, excellent location near the center of St Albans

It was very dark outside at the yard when came in the night but then front of the main door lights turned on. Also the location key boxes should be marked better, luckily the other client told me where to find the key, Instructions were good by the accommodation where to find the key, but I just did not understood them or I was too tired at the night when came.
