Unfortunately the code to the gate to the property was not emailed to us before we arrived and we had to contact the manager for the code and that was very frustrating and time consuming as there was no answer. The lights in the conservatory and by the pool were also not working during our stay. Overall a great place but shame about those minor issues.

Apart from the beds, which were uncomfortable for many of us, especially as they were two beds pushed together, and, the cleanliness of the bathrooms, especially the toilets, the whole facility was amazing. We will re-book for another family reunion and possibly as a wedding venue !

Overall, a very enjoyable visit, all our requirements catered for, a wonderful family reunion. However, I must point out that I felt the house was a little tired in areas, especially carpets etc, there were also some bedrooms with no facilities for the hanging of cloths etc. Despite a couple of hiccups, a most enjoyable long weekend, would we return, definitely. Thank You and Kind Regards, Stev Chambers,

This house and grounds is literally the best place we've ever stayed. Enormous rooms, masses of space, great cooking facilities and the aga, loads of room for us all to roam around in. And the pool was fantastic, and the hot tub. And having all those gardens to play in, with the lakes, the orchard, the hills to roll down, and of course the games room. It was just wonderful, we didn't have to leave. We did do one pub lunch which we found on the list of recommendations and it was really good. I can't recommend this wonderful house more!

We had an amazing time. The Check-in process was clear and easy. The park surrounding the house is magnificent. Will definitely come back.

Beautiful house set in beautiful grounds. We had everything we required and look forward to another stay very soon.

So much fun

A beautiful house, in well-maintained grounds. Lovely facilities, and just excellent accommodation. The process was as smooth as it could be, and communication was excellent. A very much enjoyed break away with family, in a luxurious setting.

The house and land are absolutely stunning We had plenty of room to enjoy ourselves the kids loved the pool and games room nice to walk around the land and lakes very lucky with the weather. Would highly recommend. Many thanks R Hawkins

Milton House is a stunning, very spacious, gorgeously furnished, place. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped, the beds very comfortable, the pool temperature just perfect, and the grounds quite magical. All 18 of us were utterly blown away by the place.

We used the property for an Executive offsite and I would definitely use it again. Such a well stocked kitchen in terms of crockery, cutlery and everything I needed for the group. Rooms and living areas comfy and homely. We were there to work so the pool and grounds were not taken to their full advantage but are beautifully kept by a very friendly and helpful caretaker. Small issue with heating was quickly responded to and dealt with. Pre-communication from Group Retreats couldn't be faulted either. Games room a lovely addition. Might be back with family and friends so I can really enjoy it!

Would recommend to all. Even went on boat! Ross there on hand if any problems arose, and he was!! Loved it and would definitely go back again. Pauline Leicester

Twenty-six of us (including eight children under ten) gathered for a weekend to get to spend time with all the members of our extended family. We looked at the family 'archive'; we played silly games; we ate a lot; and swam a great many times. We also spent a day at Bletchley Park where our mother/grandmother/great-grandmother had been during WW2. The accommodation was perfect with comfortable bedrooms, lots of space for children to enjoy, and the huge benefit of two kitchens. We stayed during Storm Dennis so we couldn't make much use of the outside, but the pool more than made up for this. The final climax to our visit was a swimming 'talent show' involving all eight second cousins. Martin replied to any questions beforehand extremely promptly and Ross, the caretaker, was very helpful. The biscuits and fizz left for us was a lovely, generous bonus. We all had a brilliant time which was really made perfect by the wonderful accommodation.

We were a group of 24 and Milton House was perfect for us! Well stocked, great facilities, beautiful house. Can’t wait to return!

We stayed 3 nights for my 60th birthday celebration. We had 21 guests aged 1 year to 60 years. Milton House was perfect for our occasion. Everything was just as we hoped. The place is very large but we didn’t feel cold at all despite it being January, we didn’t even need to use the log fires and in fact we had to turn the heating down, even around the pool wasn’t cold. The place was well stocked with everything we needed and we were all able to sit around the dining table for sit down meals. The grounds are amazing and 2 of my guests went on the lake in the boat. The caretaker Ross met us on arrival and quickly showed us around, we had a slight issue initially which he promptly sorted. Milton House was easy to find thanks to the photos that Martin (the manager) had sent us. Everyone loved the experience and have asked for us to book it again.

This property was above and beyond what we was expecting. Couldn't fault it in any way. A weekend to remember. Thanks

Brilliant from start to finish! The booking process and communication were excellent, the property exceeded our expectations and it was the perfect venue to celebrate a special birthday with family and friends. We can also highly recommend Don & Emma at Bellini's Italian restaurant who catered for our evening meal on the Saturday night. Thank you, we hope to be back again in the future...

Our family of 17 had a wonderful stay at Milton House. The thoughtful touches like full log baskets for the fires and the Christmas decorations made it a lovely home from home. The younger ones made full use of the pool and the more mature ones enjoyed the hot tub. The grounds were delightful. There was plenty of kitchen equipment and dishes etc.

Milton House comfortably housed 21 of us for a joint 30th birthday weekend. The property was huge which meant everyone had adequate space and didn't get under anyone's toes. The rooms were huge, the grounds beautiful, kitchen well stocked, and pool ideal (little bit cool but if you stay active it's grand). The regal reception room was perfect for our Regency themed murder mystery. Martin gave clear instructions to find and stay in Milton House which made the entire trip uneventful and easy. Thank you for having us!

Communication was smooth, the owner was responsive and took steps to accommodate our needs. The property was beautiful. Would happily book here again.

Milton House provides everything you require to have an enjoyable experience. On arrival the younger grandchildren ran excitedly around the house choosing bedrooms for themselves and the other guests. More excitement when they found the "secret tower "! All the rooms are spacious and furnished to a very high standard. The main kitchen is large and very functional. Plenty of fridge space for food and wine etc. The dining room with its large dining table was perfect for our family meals. The drawing room , with the piano was very popular. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds and mattresses were. (Please let me know the make of the pillows - they were so good!) Then of course - the pool and hot tub. Great success with all the family. The grounds are large and make for a wonderful walk around the lakes. The Games Room was a great success and well used. Full size snooker table, table tennis and darts. The tennis court was ok but the balls were rather old and didn't bounce much! I introduced a local rule that you were allowed more than 1 bounce! To summarise, it would be hard to find somewhere better for a family gathering than Milton House.

This was a fantastic property for a family gathering to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday. From the youngest family member at 13 months to 83 year old and everything in between ( including a couple of teenagers) and 2 dogs we couldn’t have asked for more. The house was clean and welcoming. It was great having 2 kitchens which made catering so easy. Kitchen was so well stocked with crockery, glasses and cooking ware, we found nothing lacking The drawing room and dining room were fabulous spacious rooms that allowed us to socialise and eat in comfort. The swimming pool was larger than we were expecting and was a hit with all ages, as was the games room. The grounds were fabulous and beautifully maintained. The only blip we found was the arrival on Friday night. We arrived in the dark and found the entrance to the driveway hard to find , this was the case for all our family. It would help if there was a sign on the main road. The owner Martin was very prompt at responding to any queries I had. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Overall we had a brilliant time. There was lots to do for the whole family. We had couple of maintenance issues mainly down to usage from previous guests however Property Manager Martin dealt with these quickly when we told him about it. The grounds are stunning definitely better then our expectation. Would recommend this property for large family gatherings.

We had 3 days of team building activities and meetings while staying at Milton House. The bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely and kitchens are well equipped and thank god for the 2 dishwashers! There were 9 of us using the internet at all times so connection was a bit slow but we managed ok. It is close enough to supermarkets and the town of Bedford. We had a car so it was easy to go out shopping for food and drinks. We all had a great stay and would definitely come back. Thank you Martin for great communication before, during and after our stay.
