Expensive tiny room , the dispenser shower gel was empty. No shampoo or conditioner , I had a little hand soap to share and a sanitary bag that all . At 7am, I wake up because someone was banging at another door near us . No restaurant at the Willow, nothing special part from the garden.

Went here for a UK wide TVR car club meet up. 120 TVRs in one carpark alone! 210 of em at the Millbrook proving grounds. Awesome. Noisy. Wyboston itself was a reasonable place to be.

Absolute shambles from the minute we walked in the door. From poor service to wrong food being served. Such a shame. Lovely venue / view. Won't be back.
