Comfortable hotel with great staff
Pros:

The hotel is positioned conveniently in Buckingham, offers a restaurant and bar plus there is a gym available for guests. We stayed in a ground floor room because we brought our two dogs with us. The room although a little tired, was spacious, comfortable and serviced with a kettle, teas, coffees etc, perfectly adequate for our needs. We ate in the restaurant both nights that we stayed and was very good. We found the staff in all areas to be welcoming, polite and helpful…we will definitely stay again!

Cons:

The hotel doesn’t generally offer breakfast within the price, as an optional extra £20pp is quite steep. We found that there are plenty of alternatives in the town.

Comfortable, helpful pleasant staff, but poor breakfast and difficult access
Pros:

The bedrooms were clean and comfortable and we slept well

Cons:

Breakfast was inadequate. 2 inch square of fried bread was insulting. Why bother?
Access to the hotel and leaving the hotel by car was very difficult and frustrating at times. Car park difficult to maneover in and the road outside difficult to navigate

A pleasant break in a convenient location the interesting town of Buckingham.
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful and our room was very pleasant. Parking was an asset.

Cons:

The outside of the hotel was very scruffy, peeling paint, dead plants in hanging baskets and dirty windows. The road outside was very narrow, busy and noisy and our room was facing into it. There were some small problems with the standard of housekeeping in our room but they were dealt with efficiently. The bar area was dark and unwelcoming.

Relaxing
Pros:

Location was perfect for the family function at the ballroom opposite. Breakfast was slightly disappointing. The coffee machine was broken and just 1 member of staff dealing with a very busy dining room

Cons:

More staff needed at breakfast & someone to fix the coffee machine

Lovely hotel, nice bar however I recommend you eat elsewhere.
Pros:

Lovely hotel in town centre. Clean. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Dukes Restaurant lets this hotel down. Almost everything was off the menu. We waited over two hours for our main course even though there were very few guests there. Considering it was a steak house I couldn’t cut my steak as the steak knife was blunt. The staff were young and polite and very obviously embarrassed by having to continually explain to the guests that most of the dishes weren’t available. The staff were in no way to blame.

First visit to Villiers but won't be the last!
Pros:

Very welcoming reception staff member. She went out of her way to find us a room where we could use the lift instead of the stairs as my husband had hurt his leg.

Cons:

It wasn't a problem but there was only one staff member to serve a very busy breakfast room. She had to work really hard not only serving but keeping self service buffet topped up!

Lovely hotel with nice staff but the dining experience is to be avoided. Dont eat there.
Pros:

The rooms were wonderful. Beautifully decorated, spacious and probably the best I have been in. The water was piping hot and it was easy to manage the the heating .

Cons:

We booked in for supper and it was pretty bad. Just about everything we asked for was off the men including vegetables as a side dish. The poor waitress must have been so embaressed. It wasnt , when it eventually came, which took well over an hour, well cooked . It was a disaster.
