The property was very convenient for our group. It was clean, kitchen well stocked. Garden was great. The kids lowed the number of indoor board games. The owner was easily contactable via WhatsApp One of the showers in the bedroom was not working. This was an issue for the people in that bedroom. Otherwise everything was fine. We enjoyed the stay

We were a group of friends celebrating two significant birthdays. As a large party we appreciated the many breakout spaces and the multitude of activities on offer. The generously equipped kitchen made self catering a breeze! Would definitely recommend.

Our second stay at Milton House as a family get together we had another great ... Our second stay at Milton House as a family get together we had another great stay with age group from 2 to 72 and we all created great memories

Wonderful birthday weekend spent at Milton Manor in late November with large family. Everything we could need for a memorable weekend. We loved the large rooms, different spaces, individual bathrooms, comfortable beds. Brilliant games room. Kept all generations happy. We even managed a jigsaw and would have loved time for more. Highly recommend for large family groups.

We had a fabulous time, everyone enjoyed it. The kids had a wonderful time playing around all the rooms. Accommodation was spot on, plenty of rooms & family rooms, the long table kept everyone talking. Just a few small items, as we were staying a week I thought only 1 toilet roll per bathroom was a bit mean. Could do with a few rubbish bins in the bedrooms & also in the main kitchendining room especially as taking teacoffee bags round to the utility was messy, we made up our own bin. But we still had a great time, thank you.

Graham

Great venue and location for an extended family gettogether. We loved the well equipped kitchendiner, the comfy lounge and the games room pool, table football and darts all went down well with the younger members of the family!. The well kept gardens were an autumnal delight and a few of the party even braved the hot tub. One minor niggle a few of the mattresses were past their best and could do with being replaced. But that aside, a thoroughly enjoyable weekend in a lovely venue. Thank you!

Excellent venue for a mixed age large family group, with plenty of space for noisy games as well as peace and quiet. The property was brilliant, the owner's visit re 'bins' during the week very helpful and friendly. The only glitch was in the listing concerning catering options.

Bronwen

Our second time at the beautiful Milton Manor. 33 of us, a church community, on our weekend away. Spacious rooms, a choice of meeting spaces, with enough additional space for kids to hang out and have fun. A definite favourite in this house is the enormous dining room table. No one ever needs to start filling a new table, you simply choose a spot and join in! Hot tub a win, beautiful and quiet surroundings, and all in all a wonderful place to facilitate many different kinds of event. Thank you Milton Manor, we hope to be back soon again!

Long weekend stay with 22 family members, ages 78 to 12, beautiful, clean house with everything you need, this was our third visit to Milton Manor and already looking to book again next year.

Anthony

We had a very enjoyable stay at Milton Manor, and it was as described in the listing. The host was responsive to a minor issue with the hot water urn midweek. The hot tub worked well and received plenty of use. There were a lot of children in our party, and they had a great time playing pool, table football, table tennis and darts these facilities were much appreciated. The kitchen facilities were good we had 33 people staying, and we cooked every night.

Carolyn

This is a fabulous property set up to cater for big groups, we were 23 ranging from 2 to 90 years old. The house and grounds worked perfectly for our celebration weekend with games, inside and outside, enough to keep everyone busy the whole weekend! Really well equipped to cater for large numbers, inside and outside, we were not short of anything. Fabulous!!

A beautiful, well maintained property in a brilliant location. Considering the age and size of the property, it is well maintained whilst still keeping the characteristics of a mansion house. The rooms were spacious and comfortable as were the other rooms in the house. Plenty to explore. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. There were plenty of amenities provided to keep us entertained. Shops and the nearest town were approximately 5 minutes away and many other local attractions were less than 20 minutes away. I would definitely come back and stay again.

Excellent accommodation for our large intergenerational group. Extra kitchen area a useful bonus for catering. Great indoor and outdoor games facilities. Very convenient train service from London Beautiful house and gardens.

An enjoyable stay for a work offsite. Very close to Stourhead. Facilities were generally good, the bedrooms are slightly quirky. Pool table and foosball table were good for relaxing. Main broadband was excellent but repeaters did not seem to be working. Only 4 stars because there were a few issues, and the owner did not respond to phone calls, so there was no way to resolve them. Neither did sykes customer support.

Bronwen

A very happy group 33 of us in total stayed at Milton Manor for our church weekend away. What a fantastic house. Spacious and clean bedrooms, various other communal rooms to hang out in, a lot of outdoor space for kids to run around and the allpopular hot tub too! Favourite part must have been the very long dining table which was able to seat us all. So many discussions and much laughter happened right there. Overall a real treat to have stayed at Milton Manor and we do hope to be back again next year.

Stuart

This is a fantastic place,we celebrated my wife's 70th birthday with ages from 76 to 6 months, great venue, spotless, lovely gardens well up together we had a great time ,many thanks to the owners.

The stay was fantastic, no complaints. The only small thing I would mention is the wifi can occasionally give weak signal or be temperamental, but other that that 5!

Lesley

This is a stunning property, extremely old and with beautiful period features. We had 25 family members staying, ranging from 870, all celebrating my husbands 70th birthday. There was plenty of space for us all, comfortable bedrooms and an amazing games room. There were also cupboards full of games and toys, great for the children. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the kitchen areas had everything you could possibly need. The surrounding country is great for walks and not too far from the coast. One slight comment about the hot tub it's not the sort with jets and bubbles! More like a spa bath, enjoyable but not what was expected. If you have a big family celebration coming up this is the perfect place to stay. Definitely recommended!

Rosalind

Beautiful house and grounds. Ideal for large family gatherings. Rooms all well kitted out and wonderfully warm.

A few minor improvements would lift Milton Manor from very good to great. The games room needs some attention. The pool table has seen better days and a light over the dart board would be helpful. The kitchen equipment is lacking in some areas, only 2 wooden spoons, one small saucepan and no oven gloves. Trivial things but easily sorted. Basically, loved the place and would recommend.

Natasha

Hello, it was a good venue for the weekend celebrations. Downstairs, the kitchen and dining worked really well. However, my feedback is, your bathrooms, gosh they really need work on the 1st floor and especially in the attic suites... Also, the bedroom where you just have a curtain between the bath and the bedroom I appreciate it's small was very disappointing to put a couple in no dressing mirror tiny one by sink not adequate, no where to hang clothes. But essentially your bathrooms let you down they need redecoration. A big point for me as I had musicians playing is thathe piano is not 'good' it really wasn't up for using and I mention this as it was a specific reason for booking I'm afraid it's on it's way to piano heaven in terms of key action, keyboard itself, the ricketiness of it and would require some degree of work. Also the music room is tiny and the piano faces the wall. This doesn't live up to the marketing for it so I'd suggest you think about that part. Light bulbs in lamps were missing downstairs just worth checking. These are the reasons it scored 4. We've hired house before and realise of course they aren't hotels... We're not silly or arrogant.. It's just feedback for you to think about. Overall it is a really well located, well thought out venue. So, thank you.

We had an amazing weekend celebrating a diamond wedding anniversary with four generations present. We spent the majority of our stay in the amazing grounds. We loved the huge dining table in the main kitchen. Some of the bathrooms could do with some TLC but on the whole we really enjoyed our stay.

We have just spent an amazing week at Milton manor with 28 family members ages from 77years to 20months,lovely clean house, large comfy beds with crisp white linen sheets, white fluffy towels and hot showers or baths. Both kitchens have everything you could possibly need for cooking large amounts of food which we did every day and sat at the dining table which was perfect. Although it rained most of the week it didn't stop the fun as there is plenty to entertain you,beautiful gardens to walk around, pool table,table tennis and an amazing hot tub,we are already looking to come back next year.

Tristan

Milton Manor was a superb house for our family gathering. All the facilities were in excellent condition and it really felt like 'home'. We thoroughly our stay and would recommend the house to anyone. Should we be able to organise a future family gathering we would book to stay again.

We had a wonderful big family week at Milton Manor. It was perfect to be 26 people in the place so we could use bedroom combinations that suited us. The various rooms downstairs gave loads of choice for activities we took badminton and croquet too, and enjoyed the table tennis, pool table, hot tub... everything. Communication with the owner was quick and really helpful.

Claire

A lovely house with many excellent facilities including a great kitchendiner, fantastic kitchen equipment, great collective and individual spaces, beautiful hot tub, plenty of parking and good recreational facilities and space. Only criticism was that showers in 2 of the bedrooms set off alarms so couldnt be used.

Tracey

Very clean well equipped kitchen lovely reception rooms hot tub and garden also wonderful . Sad to have to say several showers not working ran cold constantly even after leaving to run for some time meaning guests had to share other bathrooms! Dart board unusable and table tennis net and bats need replacing also only one pool cue we had a lovely time but believe the bathroom issues would prevent us from returning which is a shame the house just needs some tlc

Christine

An amazing place to share a special occasion with family and friends. Very well equipped and plenty of room for everyone to join together or find their own quiet corner. The grounds are beautiful and seem to go on forever. Would definitely recommend this beautiful house to anyone.

Rebecca

There is much to love here. Loads of space and flexibility of rooms. Well equipped kitchen with catering size pots etc. 3 dish washers. Great large table we could easily all fit round. 2 downstairs bedrooms, one double and one single, for those with mobility issues. Pretty gardens. Good location with plenty of walks and places to visit Many of the bedrooms are rather dated in their decor with less than impressive bathrooms, weak showers and one toilet in a cupboard! I felt it is a bit cheeky still to ask guests to strip their own beds and bring everything downstairs, there is no COVID need to do this anymore. Also, quite a trek to get rubbish and recycling round to bins as the door linking the utility and bin area is locked. Overall though this is a great house to stay with a large group, friends or family. We had a great time

Lovely property with ample space for a large group. Well located, albeit a bit of a drive to the coast. although well worth the effort The owners are very approachable & helpful.

We enjoyed a wonderful 70th birthday experience thanks to this excellent property.

Was such a lovely weekend and everything was lovely such a great place to go with mix of families as enough different spaces to separate if need to. Lovely grounds and lovely walks nearby. We felt like there should have been more instructions for things at the property for things like the oven and hot tub etc. The treehouse was unfortunately broken which was a bit of a disappointment to the kids but didn't affect our stay. Would definitely go back

Rosamond

A great place for a large extended family gathering we were 22 at a joint goldenwedding and 70th birthday celebration. There were several seating areas for different groups, including a lovely sittingroom with bar for celebratory group gatherings. The huge diningtable in the kitchendiner easily accommodated all of us, with room for the teens to do their homework at the end! The hot tub was much appreciated by many. We all hope to return.

Rebecca

We had a wonderful 3 nights at Milton Manor 1922 December 2021. The House was decorated beautifully for Christmas, inside and out, and felt warm and welcoming. We had a huge family gathering of several generations, and it surpassed all our expectations. The long table in the kitchen meant we could all eat together, and the games room, sitting rooms and other self contained ground floor accommodation gave us all the space and entertainment we needed. It was fabulous, and both Sykes and the Owners could not have been more helpful and attentive. We would definately book again without any hesitation.

Milton Manor met all our needs for this surprise 60th birthday bash, the location, layout & facilities were amazing. Some of the kitchencooking utensils weren't as clean as expected and the banquet room floor had signs of dried food, from previous people, under the tables.

Milton Manor was a fantastic party house for our 27 family guests and the accommodation itself was perfect, versatile and very comfortable and clean. It was a wonderful stay and allowed us to celebrate a 90th birthday in real style! Our only criticism was that the property owner was not there when we arrived and due to mobile phone connectivity it was tricky to get hold of her. It would have been good to have a few things explained in person like how to work the hot tub instructions weren't very clear and it was lukewarm until the end of day 2. It would also have been good to have had a single book with all the instructions in it rather than have them in picture frames dotted around the house which was a bit like being at school with 'do this' and 'don't do that' notices around! The welcome stay book that we did eventually find was in a small dark corridor area so were rather at sea as to how things worked at the start when all our guests were arriving, and being an old building it had some quirks, such as light switches being in unexpected places the ladies downstairs loo light switch being in the gents downstairs loo, for instance!. Our younger guests and those needing to do a small amount of work from the house found the internet rather slow. But otherwise it was a really wonderful week, and the local lady that cooks lasagna and chicken tray bakes ready for your arrival if you want them was a musthave they were absolutely delicious and home made! Shops are very close and we ordered a massive Waitrose food delivery for the Friday evening which worked well and kept us going almost for the whole week. We were so sorry to leave at the end!

As a party of 26 adults, a toddler and a baby, we had a fantastic week. The facilities are excellent and the house is well equipped and we found nothing lacking. The holiday was to celebrate a special birthday so a drinks lounge and kitchen as well as the main dining kitchen was ideal, as was the prep and washing up area so everyone could help without tripping over anyone else! The house is set within a short travelling distance to many venues and our guests made full use of the area by visiting Wookey Hole, Lyme Regis, Stourhead NT, the Haynes Motor Museum, Street,Glastonbury and much more.
