Millbrook Hotels

"1. Hotels.com description for a Superior Room is 31 sq m, with a seating area with a sofa and chairs. Ours (room 275) was tiny, with room for a desk and a chair in the corner. Yet, Front Desk assured us this was a Superior Room. 2. Getting hot water out of the shower is non-trivial. Initially we had to complain to get the boiler restarted, then we had to ask for someone to come to the room to explain how to operate the shower tap (involved aligning the lever at a particular angle combined with pushing and turning the temperature knob). Instructions in the bathroom would be helpful. 3. No hairdryer in the room, had to call and request. When the attendant arrived, he asked to check our wardrobe as if he didn't believe us. 4. Breakfast, if ordered on Hotels.com at time of booking, seems to be £20 per room. If ordered in person on the morning, it's more than twice the price, £22 per person. So plan accordingly! 5. Lots of stairs. Our room was only accessible via stairs, which can be tiring depending on how much luggage you have. 6. The grounds are fairly nice. The peacocks are striking, through depending on their mood (and, presumably, the season), they do get into shouting matches with each other which can make for a less-than-tranquil experience on the lawns. Thankfully most rooms are well-insulated and the noise is a lot softer. The lawns therefore are fertilized with healthy amounts of peacock droppings. And occasionally some of the tabletops in the lawn area, too."

"AC noisy. Room noisy. Can't fault staff as service great. "

"Hotel is in a lovely peaceful setting. Nice outdoor areas. Harry's bar had good food. We didn't have time for the spa so can't comment on that, but we really enjoyed our one night stay"

"Clean and comfortable room, very reasonably priced dinner. Perfect to connect to Luton airport "

"The check in experience was wonderful with really helpful happy, staff who were welcoming and professional. The rooms are large and the beds are great. The toilet had a lot of staining and scale build up, which could have been sorted out. The breakfast experience was not up to the usual Holiday Inn standard, the host buffer was barely warm, and while the front of house manager was excellent some of the staff were to say the lease less helpful. All in all, would I stay again. Yes I would."
