Jonny United Kingdom

Dermot and Katie were wonderful hosts, I felt at home right away in their charming English house. Within walking distance to the main town area - 15mins and to Waitrose - a couple mins, if you want to pick up snacks or a quick dinner. It was wonderfully comfortable, quiet and relaxing. Loved the breakfast selections. Thank you so much.

Kate Australia

Wonderfully cozy and country-chic, with really nice curated ambient detail.

Francesca United Kingdom

The room was very clean and comfy and the owners were very attentive, accommodating and friendly.

Jeanette United Kingdom

Homely, welcoming atmosphere. Owners of property were so friendly and caring. Very easy and convenient help-yourself breakfast arrangements. House is historic, with lots of lovely Victorian features, and very tastefully decorated and furnished. Super clean, tidy & warm.

Dermot and Katie Robinson

Alma House is a lovely Victorian building providing accommodation within a 7-minute walk of the town centre. This bed & breakfast is a 20-minute walk from the train station and 5-minutes drive to the M4 motorway. It’s a 20 minute walk to Vodafone headquarters (part of which is a beautiful riverside walk) and a supermarket is less than 2 minutes walk away. The double rooms available to rent are beautifully decorated and each room features free superfast WiFi, Smart TV, double pine bed, armchair, pine desk and chair, washbasin and shaver point, hot drink facilities and a fridge. The rooms are upstairs so are not suitable for people with limited mobility. There are three shared toilets, a power shower and separate bathroom with original cast-iron bath. Bathrobes and towels are provided. Guests can help themselves to a Continental style breakfast of toast, cereals, porridge pots, fresh fruit and yoghurts, with tea, coffee and juice provided. A microwave is provided for guests to use. There is limited parking on the drive and free well-lit on-street parking nearby.

Dermot and Katie would be delighted if you could stay with us. We want to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Newbury is a safe, quiet town with all amenities anyone would need. Nearby are Highclere Castle, home of Downton Abbey, the racecourse and historic Donnington Castle. The Kennet and Avon Canal runs through the centre of the town with its colourful canal barges, swans and ducks, waiting to be fed.
