This is how every B & B should be run. Warm welcome, tea & shortbread biscuits on arrival, brief introduction to the history of the house and surrounding area, very quiet location, everywhere in the house spotlessly clean, king-size bed supremely comfortable, breakfast superbly presented and cooked, wide range of starters, juices and drinks. The hosts appear genuinely interested in... More

I was travelling around solo, for 2 weeks, and stayed in 1 hotel, 1 YHA, and 5 B&Bs. I spent my last two nights in England in Alton at St Mary's, and it certainly tops my list. I was lucky enough to be in the tower room, where the spacious and well appointed bedroom with modern ensuite adjoins a lovely... More

My Husband organised a Birthday Surprise for me. I had no idea where we were going and after a couple of Red Herrings arrived at a B&B in Alton only 15-20 from our home. My first thought when he said this is where we are staying was.... A B&B??? I have to be truthful and say I have never stayed... More

Stayed here while on business in Alton.Joan couldn't have been more helpful and even offered to arrange transport for me to the train station when I was leaving.Breakfasts were very good, room very clean and info for the town very helpful. I stay in a hotel or guest house most weeks and this one was 5star+.

I will recommend... More

What an excellent B&B, great welcome with Earl Grey tea and the room (Tower) was so well furnished. Breakfast was excellent. Nice stay, nice people!

This is a wonderful B&B, spotlessly clean and in a really interesting building. We stayed in the Tower Suite and it is a lovely size with a beautiful bathroom. The bed was really large and very comfortable and the location, although walking distance to the town centre with its many restaurants, is very quiet and peaceful. Joan and Jack are... More

A lovely welcome a lovely spotless room and a lovely breakfast. I stayed at St Mary's Hall because our works Christmas do was in Alton and couldn't have picked a better place Jack even scraped the ice off my car while I was having a delicious much needed breakfast, that just doesn't happen anywhere else. So thank you enjoyed my... More
