I rent a room in castlethrpe and have previously rented a room in Hanslope itself - both cheaper and more convenient than Hotel and B+Bs.
At one time I rented a house in Milton Keynes (not the centre) for nearly two years but recently moved to castlethorpe as its closer & cheaper - I didn't need a whole house to myself.
look at flatmateworld as I know some of the people who let rooms out advertise on there, or when you start at the park just ask one of the many contractors where they stay.
There are B+Bs dotted in the villages around hanslope some farms that let rooms out etc.
You'd be looking at around 20-25 per night.

ClientCo lives in Hanslope Park - which judging by Google Maps is a fair jaunt North of MK...
Any local knowledge appreciated whilst I get on TripAdvisor and the like...
Thanks again.
Castlethorpe is a very quite village with one pub and a post office, while Hanslope has a few pubs and very nice chinese etc, both are the same distance to Hanslope park.
If you want further info on the area let me know.

Plenty of cheap well run private B&B's costing £25 a night.
Just hunt around on the internet.
Some extremely nice quaint villages around Milton Keynes, and plenty of good pubs and restaurants. Not actually a bad place to work in. In contrast to other places you don't want to be in the centre, you want to be in the outlying villages.

There are quite a few hotels and B&Bs dotted throughout MK; where abouts is ClientCo and do you want to be near anything in particular?
