We enjoy visiting Marlborough but due to the fact there's not really any hotels ”in town” as such, we haven't previously stayed overnight however fancied a 2 night weekend stopover, found the Kingsbury at No 7 & 8 at a very reasonable price & had a wonderful 2 night break. We arrived around 6pm on a Friday evening, left the car in the centre of High Street whilst we grabbed our bags & following the clear instructions received via e-mail & text, let ourselves into the front entrance & once inside, our wonderful room. I can understand how some people may struggle with this however we were fully aware that we weren't staying in a hotel or B&B & were completely fine. Once we'd dropped our bags, we moved the car to the Car Park behind Waitrose which was inexpensive & only a 5 minute walk away then nipped into the burger restaurant adjacent to claim two free cocktails we obtained due to the booking agent. All-in-all a lovely welcome. We were in Room No 3 in Building 8 & our room was lovely. The bathroom in particular was very nicely furnished & the bed was large & very comfortable. Linens were fantastic, the shower was wonderful, heated towel rail, well-lit throughout & ventilation via two traditional windows. Overall the quality of the accommodation was ideal. Due to the height of the ceilings, there was a little dust here & there & one or two of the fittings were a little on the loose side but generally we were incredibly comfortable with our home for the weekend. We found the breakfast left for us a lovely little touch. Chilled orange juice & milk, a choice of Kelloggs cereal, porridge pots, fresh pastries, two fresh fruit salads & separate oat pots in glass jars. All in all, far too much to eat but it was all very tasty. Due to the fact that the room isn't huge with only one small desk & chair, it's pretty much a breakfast-on-the-go but a great addition to our stay. The location of the property is pretty much perfect. It's just beyond the High Street. We left the windows open during the evening & whilst there was more traffic noise than you'd maybe expect from a small little town, we didn't have any issues sleeping or with noise, even on Saturday morning market day ... the only thing you will be disturbed by will be the church bells but this is hardly something to complain about. We didn't eat in the burger joint as we'd had lunch there previously & fancied something a little more formal but if burgers are your thing, they are really good. We knew parking isn't available so rather than worry about leaving it street-side, we just left it in the car park. If you arrive on a Friday night you only have to pay for Saturday daytime & we moved it to the High Street on Saturday night as Sundays are free. All in all we had a wonderful weekend in Marlborough & will definitely return to the Kingsbury.
Très bien
