Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in peaceful gardens with lovely open spaces, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are beautifully refurbished with excellent bathroom toiletries, and the large bathroom was notably warmer than the bedroom. The service was accommodating, providing timely assistance when needed, and the hotel's location, despite the main restaurant being closed, is set in picturesque woodlands in Clapham Bedford. The dining options, while not included for vegetarians, offer delicious smoked meats. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few exceptional features.
The hotel offers beautifully refurbished rooms with an outstanding large bathroom that was a lot warmer than the bedroom. The disabled access is a plus, but new carpets are needed. The service accommodated our request at check-out promptly, and the location in woodlands in Clapham Bedford is peaceful despite the main restaurant being closed that night.
The hotel is in a lovely open garden setting and fairly close to the center of Bedford. The rooms are spacious and equipped with a single and double bed, perfect for our guests with breakfast. The service was accommodating, especially during check-out, and provided timely service. The dining experience offers fresh Mediterranean dishes, although it lacks options for vegetarians.
