Flitwick Manor Hotel

I stayed here for one night as I was in the area for work. I walked from the station. Approx 15 mins, but taxis were readily available. The walk up the drive was beautiful and so peaceful. I entered the manor door into the reception and greeted by a lovely friendly lady. Upon check in she showed me to my room. I was staying in a single room which was oldy world and gorgeous. I could see the church and also saw a deer as dusk approached. I ate in the restaurant and had the most delicious meal and chilled in the lounge bar with a glass of wine and read my book. Breakfast was delicious. An in room menu is also available. The bed was super comfy and I had a great sleep. All staff were so friendly and helpful. This hotel is a real charm, it is an old manor house and quirky with its corridors and 'wings' but oh so charming to visit. Now to get my husband to take me for a romantic weekend.

I always stay here when in the area as it is the best hotel around. Grounds are fantastic, rooms are fantastic and spotlessly clean as is all the hotel. Food fantastic especially the breakfast, absolutely beats all other hotels l stay in and I am in hotels every week with work. The staff always go the extra mile and always have a good banter its great. Just one thing though, why take out the draught beers? I don't understand this change, everything else is fantastic!

Lovely hotel but it needs a lot of tender loving care. The decor and furniture makes you feel that you have moved into a care home. The bar area is almost like a make shift bar that is not manned but you can ring a bell to attract their attention. There are also cameras everywhere so you feel that you are been watched and under constant surveillance. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful and both our evening meal and breakfast was amazing. If it wasn't for the food, I think our stay would have been disappointing. The hotel is part of the Best Western family but I think they are not investing in the hotel at all and leaving it to sadly deteriorate

My two night stay at the Manor was probably the worst hotel visit I have ever experienced. It began with my journey from reception to the room. I was put in a room that couldn’t have been further from reception, approached via a confusing maze of corridors. It was on the second floor but I had to contend with some steep steps. What I didn’t understand at that moment was why, during the prior completion of the online check-in procedure they have initiated, had I needed to indicate my age. This information could surely be useful when considering the allocation of rooms and their whereabouts; I am 76. Why else do they need it? However, I never wish to play the ‘age’ game so I persevered and managed adequately with the climb. Once I arrived at the door of my room I simply couldn’t get it open and thought it might be a problem with the card-key. However it was clearly unlocking, I could hear it as soon as I tapped the lock with the card. I had to push the heavy old door really hard and it eventually gave way. However, to my shock there was a step down immediately on the other side. There was no warning about this anywhere. With my bag in hand I literally fell into the room, the door swinging closed behind me. I then found myself in total darkness; it was a winters evening fairly late. I felt around me and found two light switches either side of the door. Neither worked. I then turned on the torch of my phone and saw a lamp sitting in a corner and turned it on. I was in a lobby area. I then saw the darkened bedroom and again there was a switch but it didn’t work. I then discovered that this switch on the wall of the entrance to the bedroom actually connected to two bedside lamps! I only discovered this by a process of switching the lamps on and off simultaneously with the wall switch. A farce. There were no central hanging lights in either areas. The room was dingy, dark and cold. I discovered that the central heating radiator, although set on thermostat 5, was not working. An electric rad had been placed next to it for compensation, I assumed. It was off. By this time I was very tired, I had travelled from Liverpool, and made my way to bed. I decided to leave any discussion with reception until morning. My booking confirmation had assured me I would be in a ‘Superior double room’. There was absolutely nothing superior about this unwelcoming, cold room. All furniture lacked any sense of taste or style. The entire space is in desperate need of a major overhaul including every piece of the furniture and a dreadful carpet. Decoratively it’s a hideous disaster. The big standard metal uplight sitting in the far corner of the room depresses the mood even further; incongruous and vile and bearing no resemblance to the aforementioned two bedside table lights obviously acquired from a cheap auction room. The electrical sockets in the well of the room are from a different age altogether and are worryingly ancient. No attempt had been made to make the bedroo

Absolutely fantastic! The setting, the ambience, the food, but especially the staff... Really, nothing is too much and they simply couldn't be anymore helpful. From entering via the gravel drive to opening the large manor house door to be greeted by the a welcoming smile and glowing fireplace... Highly recommend

We arranged to meet friends somewhere halfway between our homes,Flitwick fitted the bill. We booked afternoon Tea. We were early but all the staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming. The room we had tea in, was not large, but had comfortable settees in front of a warm fire. Which gave a nice atmosphere. There was a good assortment of finger sandwiches and cakes including scones, creme brûlée and clotted cream. We had several pots of tea and coffee/cappuccinos. We were not charged for the extra coffees. We felt the Afternoon tea was very good value. The hotel could do with a little TLC in some area, and the very deep potholes just inside entrance gates! Could do with filling in. But the staff and value for the quality of food, was good enough for a return visit.
