Landlady obliging and caring. On main road so a bit noisy. Meal not included but easy to make breakfast.

LouiseFranceL'accueil sympathique et attentionné, la literie, le calme du quartier, le pub The Rock dans la rue (Syd Barrett y allait).
HeatherUnited KingdomPleasant stay. Served our purpose. We were visiting family and just wanted somewhere to sleep and have breakfast.
Close to our family. Pleasant staff. Clean accommodation. Comfortable bed so sleep quality good.
Breakfast in bedroom was very limited in choice. We supplemented it ourselves. Coffee was from sachets. Outdated furniture…

Questions about Alington House
What time is check-in and check-out at Alington House?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Alington House allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Alington House?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Alington House?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Alington House have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Alington House have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Alington House?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
