A bit tired
A lovely old house that would have been stunning a few years back. It’s looking quiet tired now though and feels dilapidated. The staff were very nice and the food was tasty if a little overpriced

Excellent stay, nothing was too much effort.
We stayed at Flitwick Manor for two nights so that we could attend a wedding nearby and not have to drive to the venue. We took our 12.5 year old Labrador cross with us, as he now doesn’t like being away from us. We had a lovely big room , away from other guests, so we weren’t too worried should the dog bark at something. We asked if the dog could be left in the room while we were out, it was not a problem. The grounds of the manor were lovely for strolling around. There were rabbits and squirrels galore to watch while eating dinner or breakfast outside. Breakfast was excellent, dinner was too. The wine was delicious. The staff even made the dog some sausage and bacon for breakfast, as he wasn’t eating his normal food. I offered to pay but it was complimentary. The bed was very comfy, the room was warm (it was 30 outside) but there were fans to use. All the staff were very friendly, to both us and the dog. My only suggestion would be a revamp of the bathroom. The shower was old and quite small. The cold water tap needs looking at. We will definitely return here though.

Facilities are a little outdated and it would be lovely if there was a gym or pool but we loved the quietness and local walks. Dinner options were quite expensive so we ate elsewhere but the breakfast was first class and the staff were top notch!!

Dear Anthony,Thank you for taking time to write a review on Hotels.com and you great overall score. The hotel is unconventional and classic and has many "quirks" about it that makes it such a lovely place to visit. I hope we are able to welcome you back so you can explore more of the hotel and it's grounds. Shane Gray.

Sadly it’s time for the Manor to have a major refurbishment - it’s not what it used to be. The check in was a mess, the room very dilapidated and in my opinion the bathroom was unsafe, no toiletries, minimal tea and coffee making facilities, the bar staff were nice but did not provide the service of a premier type hotel, the breakfast was good but not as good as before

Dear Julia,Thank you for taking time to write a review on Hotels.com and your constructive comments. Flitwick Manor is a classical, period property that has many unusual features as part of the charm and characteristics of the property and as much as we maintain the fabric and keep the property clean and safe we would not want to change the character of the building. I am sorry you felt that we have declined in our service and guests care as we are all very proud to be associated with Flitwick Manor and provide our guests with the best service and quality standards possible. Shane Gray.

Generally happy with our stay
We have stayed here for many years and always found the hotel and staff to be lovely. The best bit is that we can take our dog with us. My only complaint on this occasion was the outside dining area had lots of cigarette buts underneath the tables, which wasn’t so nice. Apart for this a great stay.

Great staff, not great rooms
Lovely staff and a fantastic breakfast. Unfortunately the room did not match the rest of the experience. It was very tired looking, the bathroom was not that clean and the shower virtually unusable. Some time and money needs to be spent on updating the accommodations as it is in a lovely place and the staff are great!

Overall the hotel was charming and in a beautiful setting. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The room was spacious and we had wonderful views of the grounds. We didn't eat in the restaurant but the room service and breakfast were adequate. If there was a criticism it was that the hotel decor in general was a little tired and there was a lack of plug sockets for the modern traveller.

A lovely hotel in a traditional manor house in a really beautiful location. The park and the grounds are worth a walk, as is the local village. The rooms are spacious, but would benefit from an upgrade. Good to hear the hotel is embarking on a program of updates, including decorating and new facilities. The staff are great. Couldn't be more friendly and helpful.

The property is set amongst beautiful gardens and borders a country park. Our room was spacious with nice views over the garden. Staff very friendly and breakfast delicious. On the negative, no complimentary water, no fridge with only fresh milk to supplement the tea and coffee. Room not serviced for a 3 night stay. Extra towels and bathroom supplies left. Not sure if this was due to staff shortages but Covid restrictions had ceased before our visit!.

Wonderful staff make this manor house hotel great.
Very enjoyable anniversary celebration. Great room (no.4), but carpet needs cleaning and relaying and we would have liked a fridge. Breakfast excellent, dinner good, but the chicken supreme seemed like a factory-made product and was tasteless. Excellent value in this genuine manor house, but what really made our stay was the staff. Every one of them was helpful, knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommended overall.
