Flitwick Manor Hotel, BW Premier Collection

This was not the first time I'd stayed here and hopefully there will be many more as this is a lovely hotel with plenty of charm in an idyllic location. The food was absolutely superb and the care and attention the staff put into making it an enjoyable stay was much appreciated. There was a warm welcome and rooms were clean and comfortable. There was also ample parking space available.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Flitwick Manor. It is such a charming property full of character. It is in a beautiful, peaceful location. It has a fabulous garden to relax in. We had such lovey weather that we sat outside in the evenings watching the rabbits at play. We were given a very warm welcome and our cases were taken up to our room. We were in Dell room. It was large and light with a huge bay window overlooking the gardens and fields beyond. Not a sound could be heard and we slept like logs. Bottles of water were replenished on each day of our stay. The bathroom had large fluffy towels, bathrobes and slippers. We had dinner on the first evening which we thoroughly enjoyed. The food was well presented and tasted delicious. There was a nice relaxed atmosphere in the dining room and the staff were exceptional. Breakfast was plentiful. The hot options were cooked to order and were well presented and tasted delicious. We had a lovely goodbye as we checked out. Everything at Flitwick Manor is about making the guest feel welcomed and special.

We booked the hotel and restaurant for an 80th surprise birthday party with family. From the time we booked and corresponded with the hotel team, it was absolutely wonderful. They went out of their way to accommodate dietary restrictions. The restaurant and the food is absolutely amazing! The rooms were lovely with an eye for detail. Breakfast was really nice and the grounds are just perfect. We had an amazing stay, above and beyond what we had hoped! A big thank you to everyone, from service staff to reception to Kim, the event manager. The location is really convenient to explore Milton Keynes, Bletchley Hall or Woburn Abbey.

In general the property was in good condition consistent with its age and character. Traditional olde worlde-ish public rooms with old portraits etc. The first log fire of the year was a welcome feature. Some appealing details such as the decorative miniature Cleopatra's Needle standing in my room's entrance hall. And despite the age of the building, a decent number of electric sockets conveniently placed. The grounds are delightful, classic English manorial indeed. Bed large and comfortable, and of course very quiet in the midst of those spacious grounds. However it was the restaurant that stood out, a really excellent main course of confit duck, distinctly more individual than the standard pleasant French bistro offering. Not far from the M1 but you wouldn't know this once there. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I will definitely be back sooner or later.

We chose to stay here due to the proximity to center parcs spa to save driving home so did not arrive until late evening. We found the staff extremely welcoming. The hotel is quintessentially English and we loved the character and history. Our room was very spacious and traditionally furnished with a four poster bed and antique furniture. There is no air conditioning but there was a large fan in the room which kept us cool enough on the hottest night of the year. We cannot comment on the food as we did not have breakfast due to needing to leave for a lunch engagement but the Gin and tonic’s made for us the evening before by the lovely lady running the bar were most enjoyable as we watched the sun go down.
