The stay was average and not to the required standard
Pros:

The bed was comfy / pool was nice and staff were friendly

Cons:

I stayed in room 123 -could t use the bath due to the plug would t secure
The breakfast experience was so poor - crowds of people not enough tables it was loud and parts of our food was sent back as was over cooked - clearly the hotel was over subscribed and this impacted quality and the experience we usually have. I felt sorry for the staff in the restaurant who were clearly under pressure

Won't be staying here again
Pros:

Nice building & grounds. Restaurant & bar staff were friendly. Great location for Newmarket racecourse.

Cons:

We were woken at 2:30am by the fire alarm going off in error. Latte cost extra at breakfast which is very poor form after we paid £370 for one night in a standard room. Receptionist at the pool was very unfriendly, told us off for not bringing our own towels (we were not told this at main hotel reception) and pointed out we had to leave by 11am.

Love Bedford lodge but feel disappointed on this stay
Pros:

Bedford lodge is a great place to stay and ideal for the race’s

Cons:

We stayed and went to the race’s but like other guests we had to go out of the hotel to watch the football which is very disappointing
We would have eaten and stayed for drinks if the football had been screened.
We only slept and had breakfast which was not good value for money.
We met other staying guests out watching the game.

pleasant enough location fine.
Pros:

having just returned from Porto where our hotel in the city centre cost half the price we were somewhat disappointed by the buffet breakfast quality.

Cons:

Breakfast is included in the room rate but on weekends an extra 4 pounds is charged for hot chocolate...instead of coffee.
