Pros:

Lovely area great views. Restaurants nearby were fine. Room was clean although floor probably needed better vacuum. We moved rooms as receptionist warned showers had been repaired. They were not working very hot no cold coming through but opted to stay in room as view good.

Theatre weekend
Pros:

Our 2nd stay at Willen Lodge. Comfy bed and clean bathroom. The shower was powerful and it was very quiet overnight.
Previously we had a lake view room and this was the better option in my opinion. This time we had a room overlooking the back of the property which was not as pretty!
A 25 minute walk to the theatre and restaurants.

Pros:

Not sure on this. Its a old premier inn hotel by the looks of it. Very dated and unloved communal areas hallways and reception could really do with a good clean and a lick of paint. Room itself had a clean bathroom and everything I needed. Needs some love to bring it back up to standards

Pros:

The staff was very friendly but the room I stayed in was not clean . The bath was dirty .
I also paid extra for a lake view having said that you have to be quite tall , which I am not ,to enjoy the view from your bedroom.
The location was great as you can enjoy a lovely walk around the lake .

Pros:

Very clean. Perfect place if you want to relax. Absolutely beautiful. The management and the staff. Went above and beyond. I could not rate this place more highly. Both lady’s on reception. Were amazing. A lot of hotels could take tips of these two. Fantastic.

Pros:

A lovely view from the balcony over the lake. Comfy bed and good shower. The walk around the lake was beautiful and about a 30 minute walk in the centre of MK. We would definitely stay again.
Just remember to check in first before paying for parking. £9 if you check in with the hotel first but £14 otherwise.

Pros:

Bit tired and stairs needed a clean but once in the room it was ok.
Pub downstairs was not serving meals when I went at around 16.00 due to a problem in the kitchen, these things happen and I walked to the Beefeater - not a great option as it happens ! Location great 👍
