Theatre weekend
Our 2nd stay at Willen Lodge. Comfy bed and clean bathroom. The shower was powerful and it was very quiet overnight.
Previously we had a lake view room and this was the better option in my opinion. This time we had a room overlooking the back of the property which was not as pretty!
A 25 minute walk to the theatre and restaurants.

I am still waiting on a refund as I got double charged for the room I payed twice when I should only be paying once this is a joke and have been wait 14 business days it’s 120£+ I’m still waiting …
We had a lovely stay in a great location looking over at the lake. The staff were really friendly and accommodating., the room was lovely and clean. Would definitely stay there again.
Not sure on this. Its a old premier inn hotel by the looks of it. Very dated and unloved communal areas hallways and reception could really do with a good clean and a lick of paint. Room itself had a clean bathroom and everything I needed. Needs some love to bring it back up to standards

The staff was very friendly but the room I stayed in was not clean . The bath was dirty .
I also paid extra for a lake view having said that you have to be quite tall , which I am not ,to enjoy the view from your bedroom.
The location was great as you can enjoy a lovely walk around the lake .
Very clean. Perfect place if you want to relax. Absolutely beautiful. The management and the staff. Went above and beyond. I could not rate this place more highly. Both lady’s on reception. Were amazing. A lot of hotels could take tips of these two. Fantastic.
A lovely view from the balcony over the lake. Comfy bed and good shower. The walk around the lake was beautiful and about a 30 minute walk in the centre of MK. We would definitely stay again.
Just remember to check in first before paying for parking. £9 if you check in with the hotel first but £14 otherwise.

Bit tired and stairs needed a clean but once in the room it was ok.
Pub downstairs was not serving meals when I went at around 16.00 due to a problem in the kitchen, these things happen and I walked to the Beefeater - not a great option as it happens ! Location great 👍
