Comfortable room and a nice location. Pity they don't have their own parking, as the Willen Lakes parking charges for overnight stays are extortionate.

This is a basic hotel with great views and lots to do nearby. It’s good value for the money. I recommend booking a lake view with a balcony. Only downside was no air conditioning, not great during a heatwave.

The room was clean and comfortable, and the lake view was beautiful. The onsite pub and restaurant had just closed down , which meant a walk alongside the lake which was only a few minutes, to the pub restaurant next to a Premier inn. There was a lot of activity on the lake when we arrived and other activities advertised on site. This was only a stopover for us but was pleasant

A home from home, fantastic staff, great view over the lake and the restaurant below the rooms. Parking is a little expensive for 11 nights it was £108.00, if you can look beyond the parking costs this is one of the best hotels i have stayed in around Milton Keynes.

Property is in need of an upgrade, carpets are worn, paint coming off the doors, the place is ok to stay in but 100% needs an upgrade, no plug sockets next to the beds, something was on the wall in the bathroom and ripped off and replaced but the wall was never repainted or fixed, looks tired, bed is is very high to get on, also having to pay for parking to stay there adds a lot to the cost of the room should be included in the price

Very old hotel that looks shabby in all honesty. If the vibe is meant to be that of an abandoned Premier Inn then it does the job perfectly! Also a lot of noise from the football pitches outside, though it didn't go on too late. On the upside, it was clean and the staff were friendly, plus it was warm in the room (which was required for winter!). Plenty of tea/coffee to be had and it is a nice location with walks and scenic views. 2 pubs nearby as well.
