What guests think

At Peartree Lodge Waterside, travellers highlight friendly staff, clean rooms, and practical in-room extras like a microwave and fridge, alongside a scenic canalside setting with pleasant walks, generally good value, and convenient access to Milton Keynes sights.

Rooms are comfortable and often spacious, with canal views for some, but several guests note thin walls, occasional noise, soft or sagging mattresses, and a lack of air conditioning leading to warmth in hot weather. Food and breakfast in the separate pub next door are mixed, with reports of late starts, limited availability or closures, and variable quality, though some found it convenient and good value. Overall, it suits value-minded guests who prioritise straightforward comfort over full-service amenities.

This is a "hotel" next to a pub. Really large car park which is free if you register your vehicle at reception. I was in room 119 which was okay, ensuite was clean and shower (over bath) was good. Bed was comfortable. Wifi was poor (not at all fast). During the night I heard an amount of noise coming from within the premises, which meant I did not get a good nights sleep. I will not return here.

Lovely room plenty of space with a bath as we requested. Room has a microwave and a fridge. We didnt use the microwave but the fridge was needed. Wonderfully situated on the canal with a nice pub restaurant next door. Recommend a walk up the canal, about 30 minutes, to the Wharbler on the Wharf. Lovely views and nice food. Uber into town is cheap and only takes 10 minutes to the main shopping nall

This hotel provided a basic room. The bed was hard and sags. The shower was strong and hot. Large parking lot was convenient. Our room was facing the parking lot so it was noisy. Girls at reception were pleasant and friendly. The rug looked like it needs a good shampoo and the hall was sprayed too strongly with air freshener.

The room was clean and tidy. There was an usual odour which was initially annoying. There were several neutradol odour fighters dotted around so I guess the problem was long term. The bed sagged badly in the middle which meant my wife and I rolled together overnight. However the second night, due my wife attending a conference at a nearby hotel I had the bed to myself. This meant I rolled into the central pit everytime I turned over in the night.

This is a lovely hotel. Each room has a microwave, plates, bowls and cutlery, fridge and iron and ironing board plus the usual kettle. The beds are kingsize and really comfortable. The bathroom is clean and the shower was powerful. The walls looked freshly painted. The man on the desk was friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

So this hotel was originally built in 1970. I believe it is still in the same configuration as it was in 1970. The rooms are pretty small and tight, There’s no AC in the rooms, the bathroom is on the smaller side. and they actually have real keys to your rooms. Access to the 2nd floor is through the office and up some very narrow stairs. The rooms were clean but kind of outdated. You are right by a marina with lots of ducks and geese that start squawking at 4:30am every morning so be prepared for that. The restaurant next door has good food and pizza and is very good on their prices and service as we ate there several times. Make sure you book the size bed you want. They have double size and King size which is (2) twins put together. Parking is good and wasn’t an issue. It’s about 1hr 20 min from Heathrow Airport. Use uber and not a Taxi.

Hotel was very good. One thing was that we were 2adults in a double room and the cleaning staff only left towels for 1 person and on the day we left check out was 12 o’clock and they were knocking on the door at 9.15 to clean the room. When we returned from breakfast we had to go for a walk before we could get back in our room.

Booked this hotel over a week before arriving and found out the day before checking in (by email) that the restaurant next door would be closed for refurbishment. So nowhere to have breakfast or dinner. Hotel said they only found out the day before that it was closing …. Really? I and my mother have mobility issues and were put in an upstairs room. Told there was no lift. Girl on reception not that bothered. Due to refurbishments going on, 2 make shift disabled spots were put in place with some cones. Same size as normal spaces so not very helpful. Room was ok but very hot and stuffy all the time. Hotel obviously didn’t want to tell anyone that restaurant was closed to not lose any bookings but they need to be more honest with customers. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Peartree Lodge is a very short walk away from hospital and I was able to check in 45 minutes early, so that I could drop my belongings off. The young lady on the front desk, when I arrived was so helpful. On my return that evening, after a very long journey from Devon, and a very emotional visit at the hospital, I was greeted with the same young lady on the front desk, I mentioned that I may be staying an additional night, and she was so helpful I am very impressed with her support to me. The room is clean, tidy and the bed is so comfortable. The added extras with the microwave and fridge in the room is really great. Size of room is lovely and the view across the canal is amazing. Thank you so much for making a difficult visit back to MK, a pleasant and comfortable stay at the Peartree Lodge. I will be definitely looking at coming back to stay, when I am next planning a visit to MK.

The hotel was lovely and a great position but the restaurant is due for a refurbish which wasn't mentioned on the booking, the car park is strewn with cameras for security and to be honest some of the clientele made you wonder if this was why they need the cameras. The bar and restaurant was tired and dirty, outside the same, food very average, this is a lovely spot but they are missing a trick. Would stay there again but would not eat in the restaurant

It was the restaurant attached to this hotel that lets it down. Noisy full of kids and the bar staff don’t have a clue how to keep tables clear and clean - walked in and it looked like a bomb had gone off. Couldn’t fault the hotel brilliant staff thoroughly clean room and bedding. Walls are thin and noise travelled but no more than any other motel type place. Would return again and thoroughly recommend Ye Old White Swan 10minutes walk over the canal bridge for excellent dinner and breakfast.
