We booked this hotel to be close to the Railway Station. The room allocated couldn't have been further away. On check out the receptionist tried to blame us , telling us that we Should have been aware that the room was in an Annex. At the price charged this was very poor value for money. Not impressed

OK but with issues

We got the last available parking space arriving late afternoon....obviously an issue here. Staff were great and the room was fine but the restaurant is poor. Only two not very exciting veggie main choices on a menu that was the same every night.

The property had an elegance about it that made it very charming. Everything has been kept up really well. The facilities in the room were excellent. The hotel is literally steps away from both the train and bus stations that made it ideal for our travel. The most outstanding thing about the Milner was its staff. They were extremely kind and helpful. They went out of their way to help us.

Birthday stay

Upon entering the hotel, there was a very grand feel to it. Check in was quick and staff seemed friendly. The standard rooms were clean and comfortable, with a nice powerful shower. The service when asking for things was a little slow, but it must have been a very busy period. The pool and hot tub areas were decent! The breakfast was mediocre. There was a nice birthday touch with a card and a free drink. The gardens surrounding the hotel were beautiful and it is an ideal location as it has everything nearby. Overall, the hotel was a clean and comfortable stay, offering chargeable parking on site, and a pool area to relax in.

Okay hotel, but not a luxury stay by any stretch of the mind. The reception and common areas have obviously received a very nice renovation, but the room itself was ok only, and there was unfortunately an unpleasant humid smell emanating from the bathroom throughout our stay. Breakfast buffet was ok but not amazing and amenities were nothing special. On the other hand, the room was quiet and the bed was comfortable.

Expensive overall

The service from the staff was excellent but the room was poor quality overall. This was not through any fault of the staff or cleaning but some design flaws like a poorly designed level access shower so drain smells would come up as there was no trap. Also the mattress was really hard. The main hotel and gym/spa area was lovely though.

Beautiful original Victorian hotel, bed rooms were well equipped, clean and modern facilities. My only criticism would be they were rather bland & a statement wallpaper as a feature wall or in the panelled areas would have lifted them to a different level!

Air fryer.

On arrival we were greeted well and directed to our room where we were first struck by the heat. I tried to activate the air conditioning in the room but it would not turn on. It was faulted. This was reported to reception who assured us an engineer would attend to it. On our return later that night, the A/C was still not working but I noticed a huge Dyson fan was provided. Unfortunately this did not have a remote with it so our options were full speed (noisy hurricane) or off. Sadly the remote for the TV was also absent. First night was akin to being in an air fryer. The A/C fault was reported again the following morning along with the lack of remotes. On our return that evening, the remotes had been provided but the A/C was still not working. It was clear that on a Saturday night it wasn’t going to be fixed. A room change would have been very welcome but it wasn’t offered.
