Vriendelijk personeel, schone kamer, goede ligging.
Pros:

Ruime kamer, ligging hotel perfect voor waar we waren gekomen, vriendelijk personeel.

Cons:

We hadden een ietwat gedateerde kamer toegewezen gekregen, terwijl op de foto’s het meer op een boetiek hotel leek.

Pros:

A historic house in a quiet town near Bedford. The interior had been renovated fairly recently. Spacious and comfortable room. Good freshly cooked breakfast. The dinner at the restaurant was also good with reasonable price. Friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely country house hotel, close to Bedford city
Pros:

I stayed in one of the cottage rooms which are in a separate building.
They are a little dated , but perfectly clean and tidy.
I ate dinner and breakfast on all 3 days and cannot fault it.

Plus the beer is good and the staff friendly,

It’s clearly privately owned and not part of a chain

Cons:

Nothing really, if you stay in the cottage please close the outer door carefully and don’t let it slam.

Excellent spot for where we need to be in Bedford and nice and quiet
Pros:

We were in the main block so it was interesting to explore - there could have been more information about its history. The room was basic but that is what we had booked

Cons:

It was very hot and there was no air con in the room but staff kindly let us sit in the conservatory which did have it. THe hotel couldn't help it being the hottest day of the year!

Nice enough for a room away from home, close to a good pub
Pros:

Classical old building, breakfast was good.

Cons:

We were married there many years ago. It has changed hands a couple of times since. For us, it’s just tired in comparison.
