Great hotel with excellent staff. The lounge area with free coffee, biscuits and fruit was a great place to wind down before dinner. Good food, we had burgers with chips and coleslaw, which was great. The room was spotless and the heater was fixed within 10 mins of asking. I am definatley going back next year. Comfy beds and great view of sheep field next door. Loved it

I stay at the Cranfield Management Development Centre regularly, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. It consistently delivers excellent value for money with amazingly clean, comfortable rooms and well-equipped facilities, especially the free coffee and bourbons!

The real highlight, though, is the staff. Molly, Vicky and Simran on reception who deserve a special mention, putting up with my less-than-stellar chat with endless patience and always greet me with a smile. It’s little interactions like those that make the place feel like a second home.

Indeed, the entire hospitality team is equally brilliant, warm, attentive and always going the extra mile to make sure guests feel welcome and looked after.

Over time, it’s become more than just a place to stay and most importantly, it’s a reliably excellent experience every time. Highly recommended on every level.

Firstly let me say the staff are wonderful, really friendly & super helpful.|But the 'hotel' building is dire. Totally inadequate parking, only 2 disabled spaces however one of these is also the EV charging point! Heating didn't work, metal framed windows in my room didn't seal shut. Had to sleep fully clothed as it was 'fridge temperature'. Absolute dump, not enough lifts either, very badly lit rooms & no useable mirror for putting makeup on if you're shortsighted.

Whilst the facility and room was a little bit dated, it was kept very clean throughout my weeklong stay. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

What made it for me was the food, amazing buffet lunches and dinners with multiple options to choose from, always including healthy alternatives. Give the chef / restaurant team a michelin star, you are doing an outstanding job!

The rooms are very much as you’d expect. This is not a luxury hotel. However I rate it 5 stars thanks to the duty manager on shift when I checked in. Due to a mix up (not sure if it was my work or the hotel) I didn’t have a reservation for that night. After driving 5 hours to get here this was a total disaster. However the gent on reception helped me sort it out which was amazing.

The rooms have zero sound proof. Every one can hear each other clearly which is zero privacy. There is no fridge in the room and there is no microwave in the entire building which is very disappoiting since we are staying for a long time. The AC is out of service since we've arrived. The house keeping is good to be honest and they are very friendly. The lounge is great with good vibes and they provides free coffee and hot drinks for everyone. The design of the rooms is good.
