Charming but in need of updating. Peaceful area and a nice hour's stroll (or less) into the attached Manor Park and its lovely pinetum. It was very muddy and boggy in the park in February, wellies are a must! Our room (12) was classed as a 'superior' but I don't think that was warranted. I've seen far nicer rooms on the website, perhaps we drew the short straw. We had a double bed which felt small, these days I like a king in a superior room. We were up in the roof with an anteroom up a very narrow and winding stair, a maid's room perhaps. Characterful. But the bathroom needed regrouting, a couple of tears in the wallpaper and the small window needed replacing. The shower pressure was pretty useless! Not bad on cold but hot was a trickle. It took ages to rinse the soap off. Overall, not bad for night, but we wouldn't come back.

The shower in the room was pointless, no shower screen or curtain and due to the pitched roof was unable to be used (couldn't stand up in the shower didn't go above my waste) The staff were pleasant but absent most of the time. The bar was unmanaged and took ages for someone to service. Later in the evening I spoke to a member staff and said we'd like a couple more drinks she said she was closing soon. I said we only wanted whiskeys or wine so no need for ice or to interrupt the closing down of the bar gave her £20 to stay open a little longer and we went to get our 3rd (last) drink. The bar was closed and she got home very frustrating. The breakfast was average with cheap sausages. This might sound petty but when you're spending the money that they charge for breakfast, good butchers produce is expected. Other elements of breakfast were overcooked and very disappointing. I would never stay here again and I would never recommend this to anyone else..

Pleasant stay. Cosy room and friendly staff. The place definitely has character.

Staff and rooms great.

Staff were very good & friendly

Staff at the Flitwick Manor are excellent, super attentive and polite.

Great hotel with very friendly staff, especially the breakfast restaurant waitress who was fantastic and very helpful/ Would certainly stay here again

I stayed 15 years ago and it was then classed as a high end hotel and was really looking forward to a return stay this week on a solo business trip. Very disappointed with how low the standards had dropped. The room was cold, dated, poor shower pressure, restaurant ok but limited choice and expensive. There was no atmosphere or back ground music and it felt like a funeral wake. Back at the bathroom, there was mould on the fittings, a towel or similar stuffed into the gap in the toilet soil pipe, rotting skirting’s. Won’t be staying again anytime soon until it has been modernised and decorated

Friendly warm welcome !

The toilet was shockingly dirty and one day the room was not serviced at all! We have been many times in this hotel and notice that the prices have gone up significantly and the quality has declined. It's a shame.

A very disappointing stay. Our room was tiny and in the servants quaters in the top of the hotel. No FREE BREAKFAST AS ADVERTISED - £17.50 English cooked breakfast. Bar was abysmal. Free drink for being eco friendly with towels etc: but doesn't happen if you are not provided with a room do no disturb sign for the room door!! Sorry first and last visit. On a plus side- staff were great and bed comfortable.

A distinctive property in a good location for a night to break the journey down the motorway: friendly staff, and an excellent restaurant.

Did not get the room I had booked, but this was due to Expedia having the wrong photo on the room numbers. Flitwick is a beautiful building with stunning grounds The staff are all very efficient, polite and hard working. However the interior of the hotel is in need of some tlc, And the room we stayed in which had a huge comfortable four poster bed, was somewhat lacking in cleanliness in the bathroom area, The shower was falling to pieces and gave out such a poor flow of water, it was almost comical! The toilet roll holder was almost falling off the wall The seal at the bottom of the shower door was green with algae (I did manage to take that off and clean it) but there was a weird looking lumpy grey ‘growth’ in the plug hole in the basin that I wasn’t prepared to tackle. Overall, despite the disappointment of not getting the garden suite room which I paid £175 per night for. We did manage to have an enjoyable stay and the food and service were excellent. Value for money… not so good. So sadly would not return.

I love this place. It’s my go to when visiting family. It has so much character, with all the rooms having different features. Staff are wonderful and the restaurant is great for breakfast and dinner

Very well run, wonderful small hotel, set in fabulous grounds. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, Thank you, Michael

Staff always really friendly and helpful, food always really nice, room was clean and comfy

Room was comfortable however bath was small and positioned under a slope wall making the shower pretty useless as it wasn’t possible to stand up. Overall, a bad design in the room I was in. However, the hotel is in a nice countryside setting and the staff are really friendly. Would stay again but choose a different room.

We enjoyed our stay at this historic property. It was clean and charming and the staff were friendly and helpful.

I stayed in room 19, which was advertised as a premium room. The room was in poor condition, the carpets and facilities were below average, and the general cleanliness was poor. The rest of the hotel appeared okay, with excellent and attentive staff, and super service throughout. The dining was also to a good standard.

Although the property is old it is well maintained and full of character.
