We had a lovely stay at Milner Manor. I was attending my graduation 3rd April 2024. The location was ideal. The staff was great we arrived a bit late than the scheduled time for check in, Natalie and Ziyanda made sure to welcome us with smiles. The beds are comfy, rooms are clean, and the breakfast was tasty and filling.
