Hotels near National Trust - Ascott in Aylesbury Vale District

The hotel's renovation proceeds well, with the vast majority of the building looking very smart with excellent facilities. I had to point out to the hotel, as is the case in many hotels globally, that changes in facilities and policies leave all textual information (eg. the online guide, menus, notices etc) out of date. I read the small print and asked for everything it promised but was not present. I asked for the missing sofa bed, safe, bathrobes, chocolates etc. The staff work tirelessly but are short handed for the task. While I was there new staff were being hired so all these matters are being addressed. I am indebted to duty manger Raj KC who went above and beyond in helping me cope with my problems, as an elderly man with fading eyesight and hearing, and medical challenges typical of my age group in Britain, in sending a 30 kilogram item I bought to the North West. I very much appreciated his advice and assistance and wish him all the best in his future career.

It is located about ten minutes away from the station and about ten minutes away from the city center. The location is relatively quiet. The room is ok, the bathroom is a bit stained, and the shower facilities are not cold enough.

Nice hotel, nice and good rooms, friendly receptionist guy(Raj) but only problem is the car park unavailability

Excellent stay! Staff were very friendly from being greeted on our arrival by Mandy to breakfast where Karen was a delight to evenings in the lounge where Bo was very pleasant there were many others sorry to not include. Nice cool rooms. Stones throw from the shopping area. The lounge was nice to sit in the evening and have some food and drinks. The breakfast was amazing, lots on offer and all tasty. The health club was great didn’t go in the pool but went in the gym and steam room and enjoyed it and the bloke who was working In there sorry didn’t get a name was very helpful and friendly. Even being so close to a busy road there was no noise (room 233). Couldn’t get the TV to work but I wasn’t there to watch TV so this wasn’t a big deal. Overall was very happy with the stay and will definitely be back next time I’m that way. Couldn’t fault it thank you.

Great place to stay! The Peartree Lodge has great facilities; all rooms are en-suite & we always request a Marina View. The team are excellent and nothing is too much for them. We are always welcomed with a smile. When visiting Milton Keynes no matter where we are going this Lodge proves a great base and easy to reach destinations with a short taxi ride or drive. Thank you Peartree Lodge for another stay - our first since the big C hit & great to see the same standards remain.

Stayed here on business for a week last week. Overall, rooms are well sized and clean with only a few signs of maintenance needed. On my first night I tried the in house restaurant. It was cold, deserted and smelt distinctly of frying in old oil (an aroma more suited to a fast food outlet). Just as I sat down, one of the few other customers collared a waitress to remind her he'd ordered 50 minutes ago. I made my excuses and left. Next evening, I returned to the hotel to find my room unserviced. On challenging this with Reception, they apologised and explained that I should have been asked on check in if I wished to have my room serviced (note to any management policy setters reading this: why would I not?? Surely that's SOP for an hotel). So I asked to be added to the service list. Returned to the room after my next business day to find the room one again unserviced. I visited reception (again) to be added to the list (again) but this time insisted that the room was serviced that night while I was out for dinner. Am back in the same hotel again this week. On check in yesterday, this time I asked for the room to be serviced daily. This week's room is again very reasonably sized and comfortable, no complaints there. BUT this evening I one again returned to an unserviced room. On challenging reception (second time in two weeks) I'm told that my name had not, after all, been added to the ”to do” list. Unlike last week, however, it would appear that Housekeeping has all gone home and nothing can be done. In fairness, a fresh set of towels was offered, but a set is already in the room. Let's be fair: this is not the Dorchester or the Ritz and so my expectations are set at a level befitting a reasonably modern, mid market chain hotel. So all I was looking for was cleanliness (tick), comfortable bed and room (tick) and normal room cleaning and servicing as a default setting (no ticks at all based on two weeks' experience). This surely deserves a rethink, Jurys. I remain distinctly unimpressed. You may also want to look at the lifts, at least one of which displays an alarming range of lateral movement at speed.

As always an immaculate room and great service Generally very well priced

I’m writing this review at 08:26 having been woken up over 2 hours ago by noisy metal clanging and gushing water sounds, I’m in the room directly above the attached miller and carter back exit and quite frankly I wish I’d asked to swap rooms last night. (Work will not be fun today after a terrible 5 hours of sleep) The restaurant staff take breaks outback until around 11pm with continuous loud chatter, clanging and banging, it starts again at 6am when I’m assuming cleaners or early staff start arriving. Do not stay in room 233 (or I imagine 231 which will be similar) as even with the window closed the noise levels are unreal. I am absolutely exhausted. The whole hotel is pretty bad sound wise, I can hear at least one conversation which sounds like it’s from the room opposite and I noticed down the corridors there was so much noise bleed from the rooms. It’s a real shame because decor wise this is one of the nicest and most peaceful looking traveldoges I’ve stayed in. It seems to be in a quiet location, the room itself is lovely, the dark blue walls are so calming and the new furniture is much nicer than the red leatherette chair most have. Even the ombré blue to white shower curtain looks much nicer in the bathroom. I was so pleased when I saw this room, I just wish I could sleep!

Very good, very satisfied
