Friendly service at reception. Comfortable room. Nice waterside location convenient for, but outside the centre, of Bedford.

Location and surrounding felt safe. As I was only staying for 1 night and had been invited to breakfast the following morning, elsewhere, I didn’t have the need to take up the offer of that facility. Maybe next time, as I was impressed with the hotel and their friendly staff, on the whole. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. I have no negative comments to make.

The staff are fantastic ,friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and the rooms are well maintained and clean. Our only problem was the pillows are very soft and there was no information if you could get extra pillows.

Hotel was good, nice and clean, however the restaurant is overpriced for the type of food they offer. What the hell is ‘oyster mushroom’ dish about? Paid £15 for it for the dish and it wouldn’t even feed a child.
So 2 stars for the restaurant and food.

Nice area , lots of outer area space with neat , and beautiful gardens
The food doesn’t give good value for money , steak’s about £26.00 and comes in a child’s portion without the standard additions you’d get from a standard pub

Hotel was lovely, but the reception staff were unfriendly, unprofessional. They key card did not work and we had to keep having it changed, the Wi-Fi did not work in our room which was hard for me as I had to work Friday afternoon and could not do it in my room.
