Where is Horwood House?

The hotel is in a beautiful countryside setting in Milton Keynes.

It’s so off-the-grid that public transport isn’t that straightforward but there’s masses of parking on site.

What is Horwood House like?

The outside of the hotel alone would make a jaw-dropping backdrop for a wedding photograph.

So it was no surprise there were FOUR weddings taking place either side of our one-night stay.

And there are plenty of rooms for all of those guests to lay their prosecco-sozzled heads – 165 in total.

What is there to do at Horwood House?

There’s a great spa with a superb pool, but the real bonus came when we took a stroll around the grounds at dusk.

Hopping around were hundreds of rabbits.

“Please can we try to catch one and take it home with us?” I pleaded with my nine-year-old daughter, Madeleine.

She calmly talked me through the logistics and practicalities and I dropped the subject, in a bit of a huff.

What is there to eat and drink at Horwood House?

The hotel’s own Harry’s Bar has a lovely contemporary feel and the food is excellent.

Madeleine declared her burger “the best I’ve ever eaten”.

My rib-eye steak was perfectly cooked.

What are the rooms like at Horwood House?

We had a deluxe twin room and it ticked all of the higher-end hotel room boxes – wall-mounted TV, free wifi, comfy beds with crisp white linen and a selection of fruity tea infusions.

How much is Horwood House?
