Comfortable stay in a decent sized room with lovely coffee! Food was good and staff friendly. My only criticism was that the bathroom needs renovation. Had a shower curtain,which you dont ecpect now, and a bit tired looking around bath/ shower.

Was there for 3 nights, the staff were incredibly helpful and professional. The breakfast was good, the only downside I felt is the breakfast timing. It starts only by 8:00, but they're are happy to pack you something if you let them know in advance.

Milktown Dreams

Tucked away in a picturesque English village of Milktown (Meksham) this hotel offers a truly memorable stay that blends comfort, character, and convenience. The rooms are cozy and well-appointed, with just the right balance of modern amenities and traditional charm. Room 6 was very quiet. One of the standout features is the on-site restaurant and pub—a real gem. The menu offers hearty, beautifully prepared meals using local ingredients, and the pub atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing on the patio with a pint. The breakfast, included with the room, was generous and satisfying each morning (the toast was perfect and the eggs yokes bright orange!) Staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the overall ambiance reflects the care and pride taken in running this establishment. The in room heaters worked great and the beds while stiff were comfortable

Very pleasant staff. Our courtyard room was comfortable and surprising very quiet - would book the same room again. Rather drab outside but …… Tourist information was extremely helpful. This was virtually opposite so we were able to learn more about the town and have a short informed walk around .

We had roooms in the converted stables and they were great. The accessible room was perfect for someone with poor mobility. The food was good, but the service in the restaurant was extremely slow, waiting almost an hour after ordering for cereal and croissants for breakfast. However, the staff were lovely and very apologetic.

West is best

After a camping trip, the overnight stay in a comfortable, clean room (with a mattress!!!) was very welcome. The attention to detail was noted and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was top quality and we would have happily stayed there another night. Have already recommended.

Comfy - earlier breakfast would have been perfect

Comfy hotel with good food and drink. Room was big and well equipped. Only issue for me was that breakfast is from 8am in the week. Offered pain aux raisin to go. When I can to get it - it was pain aux chocolat. Would have like a proper breakfast to start before 8.

Good Needs attention to detail.

Spoilt by small things. Only ground coffee in rooms and fiddly cafetiere. No decaffeinated available. Only sourdough tough toast for breakfast. BAr coffee machine O/C. Comfortable room though.
