Lovely pub in great location with good rooms but badly run. Such a shame.
Pros:

Good stylish bedroom with quality bed linen. Large car park.

Cons:

Shocking lack of breakfast, 9.15 am Sunday, no juices no croissants, no marmalade etc, very little cereal ,no milk. I asked for fruit and was shown a couple of tired oranges and pears. No cut fruit. The cooked breakfast and coffee very slow. Staff badly trained walking past tables full of dirty dishes.

Lovely hotel, comfortable well equipped room, lovely breakfast, great service
Pros:

My wife and I had a lovely one night stay at the Bedford Arms while travelling from Folkestone to Derbyshire. The room was lovely, well equipped, very comfortable bed and spotlessly clean. We arrived to late to eat in the evening so can't comment on that but the breakfast was superb, I had the full English and my wife had Eggs Royale. Service was excellent. Will definitely stay again

Cons:

Biscuits in the room

Nothing that we did not like.
