It was made even better by fabulous weather The house has everything you need to cater for large groups of people - our group age ranged from 8 - 82 and the older memers could just about manage to explore thd entire estate and join in with most of the activities in the games rom

    With 16 adults and 3 children, ranging in age from 2years old to 70years old, this was the perfect house for all of us. It was incredibly well equipped, with everything we needed in the kitchen to a whole range of games for indoors and outdoors to beautiful gardens and grounds to a fantastic pool and hot tub. Entertaining was made very easy with a fabulous dining room, huge living room and a fun conservatory. From the outset the communication with Group Retreats was friendly, timely and very informative. We absolutely loved our long weekend in Milton House.

    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!
