“Milton Manor was a fantastic party house for our 27 family guests and the accommodation itself was perfect, versatile and very comfortable and clean.”
It was a wonderful stay and allowed us to celebrate a 90th birthday in real style!
Our only criticism was that the property owner was not there when we arrived and due to mobile phone connectivity it was tricky to get hold of her. It would have been good to have a few things explained in person like how to work the hot tub (instructions weren't very clear and it was lukewarm until the end of day 2). It would also have been good to have had a single book with all the instructions in it rather than have them in picture frames dotted around the house which was a bit like being at school with 'do this' and 'don't do that' notices around!
The welcome stay book that we did eventually find was in a small dark corridor area so were rather at sea as to how things worked at the start when all our guests were arriving, and being an old building it had some quirks, such as light switches being in unexpected places (the ladies downstairs loo light switch being in the gents downstairs loo, for instance!). Our younger guests and those needing to do a small amount of work from the house found the internet rather slow. But otherwise it was a really wonderful week, and the local lady that cooks lasagna and chicken tray bakes ready for your arrival if you want them was a must-have - they were absolutely delicious and home made! Shops are very close and we ordered a massive Waitrose food delivery for the Friday evening which worked well and kept us going almost for the whole week.
We were so sorry to leave at the end!
I am sorry I can't always meet people as I have to pick up my children from school, some times my husband can get out of work and meet you on arrival. He often does during the winter period to light the fire before your arrival. The hot tub is always up to temperature, however if the cover is left off it when not in use it will get colder.
I feel information around the house where needed is better than lots of instructions that when you first arrive that you don't take in, and I am on the end of the phone should there be any other questions. I am always available on WhatsApp and my home number is in the house. We now have BT fibre to the property so the internet is not a problem at all, we can only provide what the area does!
All information is in the office (not a dark corridor) which is the link room between the main hall and the games room. Please see house plan.
I hope the visit I had with you before your holiday (on a change over) also helped towards your lovely stay and I thank you for your feedback.
