Pros:

Much improved after a recent major refurbishment

Cons:

Although recently refurbished, some of the upstairs corridor areas need a little attention - a few bits of damaged paintwork on doorways could do with a touch-up

Nice stay, not my favourite room
Pros:

The rooms are pretty, although the floor is uneven. The shower is good but not the most powerful. The staff are wonderful, kind and considerate and welcoming. Included breakfast is good and the continental offerings are varied. Also plenty of sockets.

Cons:

I was in a room at the back, above the kitchen and the fans were noisy, especially when they were ventilated at the end of the night. Once this had been done, the room was full of the smell of the fryers and this didn't leave.

If I were to visit Buckingham again, I would definitely stay here.
Pros:

The room was large, clean, quiet and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good, especially the coffee!

Cons:

I had dinner in the pub and it was...disappointing. But as this wasn't part of my original booking, I haven't taken it into consideration when rating my stay.

Nice friendly comfortable hotel for a brief stay
Pros:

Friendly and welcoming staff, good breakfast, very comfortable bed. Very central, and great location for visiting Stowe, which is just 5 minutes drive.

Cons:

Traffic noise - I had been warned about this by staff in email, but it was worse than I'd expected. The hotel is in narrow street by a mini-roundabout with constant queues of traffic from three converging roads. Would be unpleasant in summer with windows open. Rooms round the back would be fine.
Room was cold, heater was very small for the size of room, took a long time to warm up. Parking was limited and it's a pub, so finding a space lunchtimes and evenings was almost impossible.

Excellent staff, great value for money
Pros:

The room was nice and large, good facilities and the staff were super friendly.

Cons:

Water pressure on the shower a little funky, off and on again but not a real problem. Some noise from the road but that was not the hotels fault, just someone trying to show off their new exhaust repeatedly late at night…
