Family

Milton Hill House is a lovely hotel with a friendly atmosphere that we thoroughly enjoyed during our stay. Eating out with a toddler can sometimes be challenging, but the hotel staff took care of our little crew. However, there were some difficulties on our second day due to a large conference group. Despite this, it was a wonderful weekend for a senior couple like us. The hotel is dog-friendly, which was great as we brought our toy poodle who had her own box and bed. The bar provided a comfortable and relaxed place for catching up with family. We attended a wedding at the hotel and everything was very well organised. It seems that the hotel is more geared towards the corporate rather than individuals, but it was a perfect location for our cousin's wedding. The hotel staff were excellent, especially the lady at breakfast who was great with my 3-year-old. Overall, we had a great time at Milton Hill House.

4 Star

Although some guests were not satisfied with the general condition of the property, others found the location wonderful and the room spacious and well-heated. The staff were universally praised for their helpfulness and friendliness and breakfast was said to be nice. Some guests mentioned refurbishment work taking place, but overall there were no complaints about the facilities. While some felt that the hotel did not meet the standards of a four-star rating, most had a very pleasant stay and would book again if in the area.

Accessible

Milton Hill House offers accessible rooms for guests with disabilities, but there were some mixed reviews. Some rooms were located in a separate block from the main hotel, which could be inconvenient in inclement weather, although there was a roofed walkway between the two. A few guests found the bathroom size to be barely accessible. There were also comments about misleading pictures and some guests had to pay more to stay in the main building as disabled. However, the hotel does have disabled parking spots that are painted for easy identification. In terms of location, it was not mentioned in the reviews. One guest initially received a small ordinary room despite asking for an accessible room, but they were eventually allocated an adequate accessible room in the main house with a lift to the first floor. Nonetheless, the room was situated far away from the dining area, making it difficult to access. Some guests also found the building a bit of a maze and heavy fire doors posed a challenge to some. Overall, more consideration should be given to offering satisfactory accessible rooms for guests.
