Common questions
How does breakfast work for overnight guests?
Breakfast is served in Café de Flore from 08:00 to 10:00 and is paid separately (not included in the room rate). Overnight guests can order ahead on the breakfast page so it is ready when you are; pay at the café till. Visitors who are not staying can walk in for breakfast and order individually.
Is there parking?
Yes. Parking is free for guests, on site and off-road, a short walk from the rooms. Day-office guests also park off-road, with EV charging.
Which historic houses are nearby?
Althorp House is about 15 minutes by car from Flore; Canons Ashby (National Trust) is also a short drive, and Bletchley Park is about 35 minutes away. Confirm opening and event days on each house’s own website before you travel. Patricia can suggest others when you book.
