Convenient and clean, basic, no...
Liked: Close to where we needed to be for a wedding reception
Disliked: There was no hot water for showers in the morning and no basic toiletries - the cower was responsive to the issue.

Beautiful property in stunning rural...
Liked: This is a stunning property in a beautiful and unique canal side location. The rooms are really nicely appointed and the under floor heating is amazing when it is cold weather like we had. The barges on the canal are a very unique view.
Disliked: The shower temperature was very low in both rooms.Compared to the wide number of places we visit the guest information is non existent. It is very rural and we had no idea where anything was. Given the rooms are so nice these two points are area’s that are very necessary.

Nice room spoilt by shoddy...
Liked: The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. Lovely quiet location and plenty of free parking.
Disliked: Terrible guest relations from the owner. He said I could book in at 1300, but the only person there to meet me was one of the workmen. He did his best poor guy, but he took the brunt of my displeasure. What made matters worse, even when he found out how to get into my room, was that when I enquired at what time Breakfast was, imagine my surprise when he said there wasnt any! Most guests apparently are workmen who dont want breakfast who are up adn off at the crack of sparrows! I was livid! Firstly, if you're not going to offer breakfast, why say you are on your website. Secondly, I had two emails with the owner and at neither point dd he think to tell me that there was no breakfast even though this is advertised as a BnB! To make matters worse it is located in the middle of no where (fine if all catering is done) and so I had to got back from whence I had jsut come to Leighton Buzzard to get some breakfast etc in Tesco for the next morning! Not a good start to a stay and very stressful after a long journey. THere was no one there when I left either. Also, I tried calling the numbe but no response and had to search around for the email to get in touch with the owner to ask my questions. Shoddy guest relations when one is running a business where customer care matters, I felt that I was an inconvenience. I have requested a refund as it was that bad.

Excellent for what i needed...
Liked: Breakfast wasn't included. Room was excellent had everything that i needed for a work stop over.Very clean and tidy lovely size rooms. great bathroom and shower.Excellent idea to have a key safe to make access easy .
Disliked: Only on a personal basis just could have done with somewhere to eat nearby as local pubs don't do food on Mondays and Tuesdays.Although only a 15 minute drive back into Tring where there were plenty of choices to eat.

Superb
Liked: Room was clean comfortable and warm which was appreciated on a chilly February day. Ideal for short stay trips. Good base to visit family in Leighton Buzzard. Bit more expensive than other local hotels etc but lovely environment by the side of the canal. Good to have a small fridge in the cupboard for milk etc. Although a busy road runs directly behind the accommodation we didn't really notice the traffic noise. Excellent water pressure in bathroom so shower was very good. Didn' t seem to be any other guests to it was really quiet. Good car parking alongside accommodation. Overall it suited our purpose and would stay there again.
Disliked: Just minor issues -Although there was a double and a single bed in the room there was only 2 mugs. Ok for us as only 2 persons on trip. WiFi very slow and only one person in the room could use it at a time - this may be to do with the location but fairly frustrating at times. Fire exit sign was broken, although green light was on the cover was missing. Coasters for hot mugs to save wooden surfaces would be beneficial-we used folded tissues. Tightened lamp shade holder to lamp as shade was hanging down, only took a few seconds so no idea why the housekeeper hadn't attended to it. WHB was of low design so had to put water in a glass to fill kettle as not enough space to put kettle under tap.

Brownlow Stables
Liked: We had a courtesy call for our arrival time and was met on arrival by calling to say we were there, pleasant chat about the facilities and surroundings, help offered if required. Good parking, close to the canal, nice viewing and walking.
Disliked: Although we were the only guests within several stable rooms the plumbing sounded like someone had flushed at least a couple of times during the night. Occasional traffic noise during the night. Not big problems. Doesn't do breakfast so you need to sort something yourself.
