There is a dearth of decent hotels in the Milton Keynes area but we came across this one after searching on tripadvisor. The location is very convenient from the main A roads/M1 and the approach through the village is lovely. The hotel is set alongside fields with sheep and there are plenty of places to sit outside in the sun... more

I booked to stay at this hotel on way home from a business trip. I paid £39 inc taxes for a single room (although in practice it was a double bed). Upon arrival you realise just how out of the way this place actually is (bliss!) The room itself was very nice. Whilst the building felt and looked quite old,... more

I booked this hotel because I am struggling to find a good place to saty in Newport Pagnell/Milton Keynes and the reviews are generally excellent. Have to say I was disappointed and probably won't return. The bar area is rather tired and dated and had a large number of guys watching darts on the large plasma tv which made for... more

We stayed at the Parkside for 2 nights over a weekend to celebrate my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary. We had booked a suite for them and a four poster for us. We had arranged to meet my sister and her family in Lanes Restaurant for dinner on the Saturday. When we arrived at the hotel the check in took a... more

Stayed here on the 3rd August for one night, at a good, discounted price. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. We had our dog with us and the hotel is pet friendly. The room we had was a nice size and clean; the grounds were lovely, Trouble enjoyed chasing the rabbits and barking at the hedgehogs. The only downside(s)... more

I stayed here whilst on company business in June - if you compare it to a Travel Inn or a standard 3/4 star hotel, then the rooms here were well placed amongst the higher of that group. The setting of this hotel is beautiful - in the countryside surrounded by fields, cows and sheep - bliss! There is a small... more

My first impression of this hotel was one of great disappointment. When driving up, it did not look anything like the pictures on the website. It was very run down looking. As we arrived we were not greeted by a bellhop to help with our 5 pieces of luggage, and as there was no elevator we had to make 2... more

This is our first review, and we felt that we had to say something about this gem of a hotel. Unlike other reviews we found the exterior rather quaint, but what was inside was what really mattered. The staff were attentive and courteous, we ate in the restaurant in the evening and found the food to be of an exceptionally... more

I had business in Milton Keynes and based on the great reviews decided to book at the Macdonald Parkside Hotel. The location was quaint for the area which is mostly a suburb of London. I found the check-in process okay but the staff were young and somewhat clueless. For example, they offered that internet access was free, but it actually... more
