About Milton Keynes

Location and local attractions

The Stratfords B&B and Guesthouse is located in a quiet village just outside of the historic market town of Stony Stratford. Here the two Princes stayed on their way to meet with their unfortunate deaths in the Tower of London. Patrons of two of many historic Coaching Inns in the town, The Bull Hotel and The Cock Hotel vied with each other to see who could tell the most outrageous tale. Even today, the term "Cock and Bull" story is in everyday use!
 
The High Street is packed with specialist shops, pubs old and not so old and restaurants that provide award winning cuisine from Thailand, Malasia, India and China. For those on the run, fast food outlets are plentiful and a good old-fashioned English roast can be found in The Old George most lunchtimes.
