The bathroom was perfect and the bedroom was wonderful with the most beautiful furniture. It is situated very near to the town centre and was in walking distance to everywhere I needed to go.

This was our second one night stay at Torrington Hall; the price is comparable to other hotels in the city, but with the added bonus, for us, of a free car park, as we use St Albans as a break in a very long journey. This time our room (Verulam)...

The location was excellent. It was easy to enter. I had the nicest room with a view of the cathedral but the only downside is you have to walk two flights of stairs; but to be expected in England!

Our family have lived in St. Albans for decades and it's safe to say that we are very attached to the place! Please feel free to ask us for directions or recommendations, although it's quite hard to keep up with everything that goes on here! Torrington Hall is our pride and joy and it means the world to us that so many people are able to enjoy it.

Property info

Torrington Hall is a Victorian mansion, built in 1882, set within its own grounds that has been converted into luxury self-catered accommodation, located in the heart of the old, charming city of St. Albans. Many of the building’s original features have been restored and preserved, such as the sweeping staircase, chandeliers, and ornate interior. To compliment such features, the furnishings are a mixture of old-fashioned glamour with a modern twist. There are 14 unique, luxurious bedrooms with original period features: high ceilings, exposed brick walls, fireplaces, and free-standing bathtubs. The traditional wrought-iron beds hold the finest mattresses and bedding to provide a dreamy night’s sleep. The rooms are also practical, with en-suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi, safes, and tea and coffee-making facilities. Conveniently located in the heart of the old city of St. Albans, Torrington Hall is a short walk from all the attractions this charming, cobbled, old but vibrant city has to offer. Guests can enjoy the historic Roman and ancient British sites, shops, traditional markets, food stalls, bars, pubs, restaurants, spas and the theatre. With free, on-site private parking, and a nearby bus stop and train station, our guests who wish to venture further afield have a perfect base from which to do so. It’s half an hour by train to get to London and 20 minutes by car to get to Hatfield house or the famous Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tour!
