Milford Hall Hotel

The middle-ranking executive’s choice, the Hotel and Spa is conveniently located near the ring road but under ten minutes’ walk from the centre. Although most rooms are in a 1960s block, the heart of the hotel is a Georgian house with a lounge area and four traditional rooms. The others are comfortable modernist numbers, with iPod docks to go with the more up-to-date style. All rooms are en-suite, with televisions and wifi throughout. Milano is the new Italian restaurant situated in the grounds at Milford Hall. Before tucking in to a plate of fresh pasta, guests can relax in the heated conservatory or outdoor terrace with a pre-dinner aperitif. The luxurious Lime Tree Spa pampers with wine-inspired Caudalie treatments.
