National Badminton Centre - Milton Keynes

Location is quiet and great for a walk around the lake, but close to a main road and easy to find. Room and bathroom were spotless and looked virtually new. Bed comfortable. Breakfast was included and used good quality ingredients - decent back bacon, scrambled egg and ‘real’ (not tinned) tomatoes. Bar on site in the evening. Friendly staff. All for £66 and an hour from Heathrow - a great find and we will definitely be using the NBC again. Thanks!

We play regularly on Sundays at 8am, group of 10-12. We couldn't come inside the courts till exactly 8am. The staff would not turn the lights on even though we requested them multiple times saying we require minimum 5 minutes to change our shoes and warm up. Totally unacceptable. How is it fair for those who play at 9am-10am to come inside the courts area and sit on the bench making noise whilst we are trying to play our game? Shouldn't they be told to wait outside too? Why is it one rule for us and another rule for the others? Also from a health and safety point of view is it safe for 20 or so people to wait in the hallway?

Came here to do my badminton umpire initial training course in May. I came here from London by train. It wasn’t too far from Milton Keynes Central Station.

The place has a clear sign out on the road. The lounge and cafe are cute. There are some display items that showing people the history of badminton.

Visitors can view the courses from a level above from the windows.

It is a good place to learn about badminton.

Convenient location. Though the venue is small for being a "National" Badminton centre.
Ample free parking.
There are eight courts in total. These have good quality flooring and are well maintained. There is a studio and a gym as well.
Would have been great if there was a quiet room for prayer and reflection.

Vey reasonable accommodation. Room was clean and nice size, bed was comfortable, shower was hot and powerful. The inclusive breakfast was also very good.

One of the best places to play badminton. Nice courts, safe floor and gym. Attitude of cleaners during late night games could improve (Many encounters now) but overall a good place!

Went to a No Strings session on Monday evening and was very impressed. Great courts, friendly people and well organised.

Very bad customer service and the lady in the reception very rude.
We booked badminton court at 8am but asked to light on 5 min earlier to get ready to play but she refused
