As of 17th May guests can visit Windsor and stay in hotels and guest houses as a leisure guest. But what does that mean for you? How safe are you? We appreciate that many guests will still be wary of staying overnight but to put your mind at rest here is how Alma house is configured for maximum safety:</p><p>The top floor has only two rooms 1A and 2A. These are accessed via the main front door (up the front steps) then once inside up a flight of stairs. These two rooms share the use of the breakfast room for a self-service continental breakfast. Therefore only two rooms share this space. </p><p>The lower floor is down 4 steps to the side door of the house and these two rooms have their own self contained breakfast area in the rooms. Therefore only these two rooms share the side entrance and then are private in their own rooms. </p><p>The cottage at the end of the driveway has its own entrance is is completely self contained - a breakfast seating area is inside the cottage. <br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lNk8DXJtoY8/YKOGhTohTEI/AAAAAAAABI8/hjrKL-dPvUg__pPLEh8PRM9rKd92JD2ZACNcBGAsYHQ/s610/HOUSE-SIDE-PLAN.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="396" data-original-width="610" height="416" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lNk8DXJtoY8/YKOGhTohTEI/AAAAAAAABI8/hjrKL-dPvUg__pPLEh8PRM9rKd92JD2ZACNcBGAsYHQ/w640-h416/HOUSE-SIDE-PLAN.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p> So by keeping everyone separate and bio-fogging rooms and communal areas regularly as well as sanitising high contact points daily, plus ensuring staff and guests wear masks we are doing our best to keep everyone safe and the building clean and the air clean and sanitised. </p><p>We keep contact to a minimum offering easy self check-in to most guests - we email you instructions of how to access your room keys once you confirm your booking!</p><p>We look forward to hosting you. Please support small business.

<br />
We are excited to be opening for <b>Business As Usual</b> from 4th July. Except it won't be the usual or normal - there is a new normal - the one where we all take care to distance ourselves from each other, maintain good (or much better) hygiene and to stay alert. At Alma House we have invested in a bio-fogging machine that enables us to quickly and efficiently disinfect our rooms on a very regular basis. Bio fogging ensures that the disinfectant reaches hard to reach areas and also tackles airborne droplets ensuring a safe, clean environment for all. The product we use is 99.999% effective against viruses and bacteria and is safe, non toxic and a non-irritant. After a room has been bio-fogged it can be used after one hour. The treatment is effective for 30 days. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
We are very much hoping that by using this enhanced and highly effective method we are doing all we can to help combat the spread of the virus for the benefit of all. We also have hand sanitiser readily available and offer contactless check-ins to minimise direct contact with staff. We are able to take bookings and payments online and with contactless check-in we minimise the risks we all face with this dreadful virus. <br />
<br />
We like to stay positive and believe there is light at the end of the tunnel - shops and restaurants are starting to open up and visitors are slowly returning to Windsor. We hope you all remain safe and well. Visit us soon!<br /><br />Book online <a href="http://www.almahouse.co.uk/">www.almahouse.co.uk</a><br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">With a bank holiday weekend comes my
tradition of updating the office about the weather every half hour. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Locally, it looks like we are blessed with
good weather (or at least warm and dry) for much of the weekend, unfortunately
other parts of the UK won’t be so lucky. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you plan on getting outside, look no
further than these fab spots in and around Windsor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />Alexandra Gardens:<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">This scenic park situated on the edge of the
River Thames is a great family friendly park to visit with the kids. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The gardens are situated close to the town
centre so there should be plenty of parking even at the peak of the bank
holiday. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The park is host to Edward’s
Amusements, a small collection of fairground rides, rock climbing and a mini
golf course to keep the little ones entertained. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just across the road the river stretches for
miles in either direction offering wonderful walks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Snow Hill may sound unfamiliar to many; however
it is instantly recognisable and much photographed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Snow hill is the opposite end of the Long
Walk, the iconic viewpoint for Windsor Castle. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Located 2.64 miles from the Castle, it is also
the home of the Copper Statue of King George III atop his mount. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Viewers of Harry and Meghan’s Wedding will
recognise the spot as the backdrop of the BBC Broadcast, as well as the
location of the Wedding procession. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />Savill Gardens:<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">By its own admission “Britain’s Finest
Ornamental Garden” Savill Gardens is one of Windsor Great Park’s grandest features.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Savill building serves as a great
hub for many of the first-class attractions. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the Cumberland Obelisk to the Totem Pole
or even the manicured lawns of Guards Polo Club, the grounds have plenty of
attraction for any sunny day. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you
have the time, take a walk through the Ornamental Garden which features seasonal
highlights to ensure it is looking lush all year round. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you don’t fancy bringing in your own
picnic, the Savill building has its own selection of food including Wood Fired
Pizzas and my personal favourite, the fish finger sandwich.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We hope you celebrated in style and saw the last of 2018 out with friends, family and loved ones - the way it should be! This new year is a great time to visit Windsor which is now firmly on the global map since we've had not one but TWO Royal Weddings to keep us glued to our TV sets and waving our flags and banners! Whether you love them or hate them, the royal family certainly attract a lot of media and public interest and this has led to an increased footfall in town centre shops and restaurants and as a consequence Windsor has a real buzzy feeling.<br />
<br />
There are many things to do in and around Windsor - here are a few ideas:<br />
<br />
<b>Visit Windsor Castle</b> - obviously the main attraction - <a href="https://www.365ticketswindsor.com/windsor-castle?utm_source=royal-windsor.com&utm_medium=referral#windsor-castle-standard-ticket" target="_blank">book tickets online</a> to avoid the queues.<br />
<b>Take the kids to Legoland</b> - visiting out of season (avoiding peak summer months) means you have a better experience as you are able to spend more quality time at each ride.<br />
<b>Visit Savill Gardens</b> - Windsor Great Park's main attraction - lots of fabulous plants, lovely walks and a great restaurant to boot!<br />
<b>Windsor Duck Tour</b> - a fun-filled road and river ride seeing all the sights.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Plus there's Windsor Theatre, loads of great restaurants and obviously a lovely boutique B&B to come home to!<br />
<br />
We look forward to accommodating you in 2019!<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Windsor is excited to be hosting its second Royal Wedding of 2018 in St George's Chapel for the marriage of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank. Although not as high profile an event as Harry and Meghan's bash earlier this year, it is rumoured to be a very starry event with Robbie Williams' daughter as flower girl and the Clooney's back in town.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In fact, Windsor will be welcoming a whole host of A-listers and top royals for the service which takes place Friday 12th October at 11am. 1200 people from around the country have been invited into the castle grounds to share the experience and members of the public will be able to wish the couple well on a short carriage procession through the town and back into the castle via the Cambridge Gate. They will not be journeying along the Long Walk so the best place to stand will be on Windsor High Street or Park Street.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Eugenie is the Queen's grandaughter and 9th in line to the throne. She is the youngest daughter of the Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. She completed a degree in English and History of Art at Newcastle and now works in a London Art Gallery. She is </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Patron of the Teenage Cancer Trust and Patron to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital having undergone a back operation there as a child for Scoliosis. Her partner is currently the UK brand ambassador of Casamigos Tequila which is co-owned by George Clooney. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The couple have been together for seven years and met whilst skiing in Verbier. He proposed to her in Nicaragua against a backdrop of a volcano. Very romantic...! Both sides of the family are in approval and will be very involved in the event tomorrow. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The bride has confirmed she will be wearing a British designer but no clues beyond that, so will be lovely to see her dress and what all the glamorous guests will be wearing and of course it's always wonderful to see your hometown on the telly! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Several royal

<span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Tourists looking for accommodation in Windsor might want to keep one eye closely on the

<span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Newspapers are claiming to have spoken to sources close to the Trust, which overseas
visits to royal residences. Some claim that the dress will definitely go on show at the castle before the end of the year. Others have apparently denied that such decisions have been made and that more information will be available at a later date.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Windsor Castle has enjoyed its second most popular year in its history as a tourist destination. This is thanks to a combination of factors, including the weak pound, the hot summer and the Royal Wedding. </span><br />

<span style="color: #212529; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Visitors to Windsor town centre on Saturday 4 August were
treated to a rare spectacle - the Ancient and Honourable Guild of Town Criers
(AHGTC) 2018 Guild Championships.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<span style="color: #212529; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">At 11:30am at the Guildhall, some 38 of the UK’s town criers gathered to demonstrate their lung-power. The
British criers were also joined by two members of the AHGTC who came all the
way from Australia to compete.
</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #212529; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Dressed in their traditional finery, including tricorn hats, liveried overcoats and
18th century-style buckled shoes, they competed to be named this year’s top crier. </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<span style="color: #212529; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">The AHGTC stated wee clearly thrilled to be able to hold their event in Windsor this year. They stated: “</span></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This is our Guild’s 40th anniversary and to mark this celebration we are delighted that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Crown Estate and The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead are allowing us to hold this event right in the heart of town,
directly beneath the walls of Windsor Castle.”</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #212529; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The criers were all asked to inform onlookers about their own towns, using their most impressive vocal skills, all whilst ringing their famous bells. They were judged by some notable poeple from the local community, including the Mayor’s secretary, Alison Singleton, and Debbie Raven who runs the local Thames Hospice.</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #212529; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Although Windsor’s own crier didn’t win the top prize, it was a former soldier with the Household Cavalry, Christian Ashdown - the crier for Haslemere, who was named Best Town Crier 2018. He was formerly based at Windsor’s very own Combermere Baracks. </span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are hugely excited to show before and after pics of our recent Garden Cottage refurbishment at <a href="http://www.almahouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">ALMA HOUSE Bed and Breakfast</a>. The room had always been awkward to furnish as it had existing patio doors on the back wall, a window on the right and a doorway leading from the kitchenette to an upstairs storage area. This really limited the layout possibilities and the internal staircase jutted into the room and made it feel cramped. We really wanted to improve the layout and give staff more flexible access to the storage area so we bricked up the patio doors and moved the internal staircase to the outside wall. This freed us up to move the beds, redecorate and put in a new and larger kitchen area. So pleased with the end result! The room is much more spacious and the table and chairs now sit next to the kitchenette making it more accessible and improving the flow. Previously we had a feature wall on the left of Farrow and Ball's Downpipe and we added this colour to our new wall behind the two beds in order to create a cosy and warm room. We put a mirror opposite the remaining window to bounce light around, but the white furniture is striking against the dark background.</div>

Back in November we took our annual pilgrammage to the <a href="https://contemporaryartfairs.co.uk/" target="_blank">Windsor Contemporary Art Show</a> and I was delighted to meet artist <span id="goog_217382980"></span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ericajustartist/" target="_blank">Erica Just</a><span id="goog_217382981"></span>. Being a keen gardener I was instantly drawn to her beautiful watercolours of lavender, alliums and seed pods. I bought a print for my own home for £25 and framed it cheaply in an large white IKEA frame (less than £10). On completion of the the building and decorating work in the Garden Cottage, I started looking around for some lovely artwork to complement the white furniture and purple accessories. Suddenly remembering Erica's work, I dug out her card and dropped her an email and within a week I had ordered and received 5 prints of her beautiful work. I hot-footed it back to IKEA for a further 5 frames and placed two above the double bed and one above the single. I hope you will agree that they finish the room off perfectly and the final effect of the whole room is both stylish and welcoming. I'm delighted with the result. </div>

<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-THg-yLNdfHs/WVTvKyGzYDI/AAAAAAAAFdM/ar8cBPLjD-oEkCaC1rBnp_Q5oFdwaWtSgCLcBGAs/s1600/Duck-Tour-Lisa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-THg-yLNdfHs/WVTvKyGzYDI/AAAAAAAAFdM/ar8cBPLjD-oEkCaC1rBnp_Q5oFdwaWtSgCLcBGAs/s640/Duck-Tour-Lisa.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I have lived in Windsor for over 9 years and have still not experienced all of the tourist attractions that Windsor has to offer. One that I have been keen to experience is the Windsor Duck Tour and as we are now promoting this on our website, I thought the best way to describe the adventure would be to actually take the tour. My colleague Leonie and I made our way down to the pick up point opposite The Theatre Royal for the 11am start and was greeted by Paul and Graham (the Duck Commanders!). We knew from the moment we met them that this was to be a fun hour ahead! Paul is not your normal run of the mill tour guide, he is very charismatic and made the adults as well as the kids laugh with his quick humour and interesting facts and figures about Windsor and Eton along the way. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xtvp5GgU5Rw/WVTvG5S9y2I/AAAAAAAAFdI/Tu1_VwEt9WgYeN0mTdX4AMPTrMRZgpt2ACLcBGAs/s1600/pic6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xtvp5GgU5Rw/WVTvG5S9y2I/AAAAAAAAFdI/Tu1_VwEt9WgYeN0mTdX4AMPTrMRZgpt2ACLcBGAs/s320/pic6.jpg" width="179" /></a></div>
We departed promptly at 11am so I’d recommend to get there at least 10 minutes earlier to choose your seat. We were then driven (by boat?!) to the slipway where we splashed into the river ( I’m sure I was just as excited as the kids on the boat!) and spent the next 30-40 mins enjoying the famous sights and views of Windsor and the castle that you do not see as well from the road.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are two tours to choose from, the River Splash Tour or The River Splash and Road Tour where you spend half the time on the road and half on the water and they run around 8 tours per day from 10am in the height of the season (approximately 2-3 in low season) The 2017 price for adult tickets is only £19 and children’s tickets range from £1 to £12 depending on ages. There are also concessions for the over 60’s, students, carers and the disabled).<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Alma House owners, Nigel & Georgia, along with their team of housekeepers and maintenance guys, have worked hard over the past 12 months to upgrade and refurbish all of the rooms at Alma House to provide a superior guest experience. There are two executive double rooms on the top floor of the house that have high ceilings and large private luxury bathrooms. The rooms are spacious and cosy and breakfast is not taken in the room (as in the family rooms) but in a lovely breakfast room with open plan kitchen. Guests are encouraged to help themselves to Nespresso coffee, a choice of cereals, fresh milk, juice, yoghurts, toast, fruit and muffins. Designed for the business traveller or couples, these two rooms offer a boutique style of decor and a luxury finish. </span></span></div>

This year we renovated our family room by knocking through to a single room and installing a new bathroom to create an adjoining family suite. See the photos where I'm sure you'll agree the results are fabulous!<br />
<br />
When you book room 4 you have a lovely king size bed with memory foam mattress and a separate adjoing single room with trundle bed.<br />
So you can put your kids to bed (they even have their own tv) and you can relax in your own room without disturbing them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EL-RFuLPL1I/V_JaZGUfZFI/AAAAAAAAArw/78AEmgqaE_424N0P7n9WNiEL-zDuq3GigCLcB/s1600/DSC_8684.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EL-RFuLPL1I/V_JaZGUfZFI/AAAAAAAAArw/78AEmgqaE_424N0P7n9WNiEL-zDuq3GigCLcB/s320/DSC_8684.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The trundle bed has a single bed underneath and whilst it is a very small room it is perfect for two small kids! A single adult can also sleep in this bed as it is a full size single but it is more suited to children due to the size of the room. <br />
The adjoining double has a breakfast table and chairs, it's own TV and a mini fridge with breakfast and bottled water.<br />

The bathroom has had a new shower, toile tand basin with underfloor heating and new tiles so it is warm and cosy and modern. Just what you need to start the day fresh and clean!<br />
