“The Old Talbot Rooms offers stylish, recently updated accommodations near Milton Keynes, but its food service seems to be inconsistent. While some appreciate the Sunday carvery and friendly staff, others have found the restaurant experience disappointing. Addressing the food quality could elevate this property to its full potential.”

cool table brownies touch

i stayed in a superior double room. the table and chairs outside my room was so cool! yes, i did sit looking out over the car park, but it was nice to be outside drinking tea. brownies was even there on arrival! what a touch!

the fire alarm went off, it was a faulty sensor. i know they were aware of it though. i also noticed the fire regulations weren't attached to the door.
