Step in to the white columned porchway and through the traditional Georgian front door of this graceful old building and you'll surely be taken back in time. The Moore Place is a delightfully restored Georgian manor house just 8 miles from the bustling centre of Milton Keynes.

The peaceful retreat has 63 modern, classic and manor style ensuite bedrooms, all providing the best in comfort and facilities. There is a collection of capacious conference suites, which can accommodate up to 40 delegates for meetings and private dining.

Choose between spending time on the sun-terrace or in the Greenhouse restaurant when its time to dine. Sharing platters of marinated olives, tzatziki, falafel and hummus, followed by chicken liver parfait lend a wonderful beginning to the meal. Chinese style crispy duck with pak choi and noodles or half a lobster salad with lemon mayonnaise could come next.

Moore Place organises special lunches, ladies festivals, and safari breaks at the nearby Woburn Park.
