Bedford hotellia

Plussat: Great location and charming hotel with loads of character

Miinukset: No guarantee parking for costumers staying. Breakfast was slow with mistakes. Bed was very small

Plussat: good location by river great ouse. good restaurant facilities & friendly staff.

Plussat: Loved the room, bathroom, bed, etc; very comfortable and big.

Miinukset: We had dinner and breakfast (breakfast included) in the restaurant and it took FOREVER to receive our food and even our dinner check.

Plussat: Location was fine.

Miinukset: As I was feeling ill, I asked if I could use the room for some time as our flight was late evening. A nice guy said no problem as they had no guests coming in. When we rang later after my aunt's funeral mass to see if it was OK,, the lady we spoke to said 'NO' I sat feeling not well in the bar for a few hours and then asked for our bags which were left in the room and discovered the room was as we left it....lack of communication between the staff.....we could have used it for a few hours.

Plussat: Ihana kotoisa perinteinen Englantilainen bed and breafest, loistava sijainti

Plussat: Wonderful stay, hope to revisit.

Plussat: The staff were great House was beautiful Very relaxed

Plussat: The location was great, close to where i was doing my course. I really liked that the shower was really hot, I don't like standard temperate showers. The room was also very clean and tidy as well.

Miinukset: The only negative from this stay was that the people in the next room where talking very loudly at 1:30 till around 2:30ish in the morning and I could hear really clearly there conversation. So much so, that when they called reception to ask for some towels, I then rang down to reception to ask if when they took there towels up could they ask them to quieten down.

Plussat: The hotel is at the very top of a 3 star hotel Lovely friendly and helpful staff, And the food is of an exceptional standard Really enjoyed our stay

Miinukset: Nothing really the hotel does everything it says on the tin

Plussat: It was ok the staff tried to be helpful

Miinukset: The bed was your typical 2 single beds put together to make a double bed which was so uncomfortable as it left a hole in the middle as there is no strength at the edges which created a soft spot in the middle , if you are paying for a double bed supply a double not a makeshift bed

Plussat: The room was very nice

Miinukset: Had to wait a long time at reception at check in and even longer when we were checking out. The restaurant staff are not trained to the standard that would be expected for the room rate. One of our meals was cold and had to go back to the kitchen. There was also a very long wait between starter and main course. To give credit the duty manager (I assume) apologised for the delay and advised us that we would not be charged for our main courses which was an acceptable solution to the problem.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Good sized room. Towel rail to warm fluffy towels.

Miinukset: Lack of toiletries

Plussat: Tilava ja siisti huone, ystävällinen henkilökunta, paljon pysäköintipaikkoja.

Plussat: A lovely location just off the A6 but rural, quiet with fields and trees all around. The room was a good size with windows on two sides, which opened - always a plus for me. The bed was comfortable although a bit hard. The hotel was very quiet at night ensuring a good nights sleep.

Miinukset: The room overall was tired in decor and that bathroom was below par. The ply boards were falling apart and the bath edge badly scuffed.

Miinukset: All great but room quite cold otherwise would have given a higher score

Plussat: Comfy bed, nice room deco, professional and friendly staff

Plussat: Perfect Great staff, food and comfy bed

Plussat: fabulous choices at breakfast, very comfortable bed in a spacious room, excellent gym, although busy still well worth it

Miinukset: spa and pool area could do with updating - very minor

Plussat: Amazing location!

Plussat: dinner and breakfast very good

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The thermal pool in the Y Spa and the food was lovely

Miinukset: Pillows very uncomfortable would take my own in future as I didn’t get a proper sleep

Miinukset: When staying for several nights the storage space is inadequate- no wardrobe! Winter time especially you have more bulky clothes!

Plussat: Breakfast was lovely. Location great and it was a perfect little base for us as a young family. Thank you very much.

Miinukset: Slightly slow computer system checking in.

Plussat: Very friendly staff clean and the breakfast was excellent very comfy rooms

Plussat: Clean and friendly staff.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Ok hotel for overnight stay.

Miinukset: Parking is managed by Parking Eye not hotel and even though we put in car details we got a parking fine. Hotel have said by phone they’ve cancelled it but we have no proof of this and still owe the fine. Hotel staff have not responded to us in writing as proof of cancellation even after numerous phone calls and emails we've sent and a discussion on Facebook with the manager.

Plussat: Cristina on Hotel Reception was brilliant, helpful, great sense of humor

Plussat: Dinner was good as always. Rooms still comfy and clean. Staff kind and polite as ever.

Miinukset: Breakfast was a bit dry. The last fried egg in the tray looked like it was imported from Chernobyl. There was no Greek yoghurt or berry compote which I always look forward to. I hope this was just a one-off.

Plussat: Good choice of food at breakfast, including information displayed for food allergies/prefferences & all fresh made. Lounge area was a good relaxing area with free coffee/tea machine. Also rooms had kettle & complimentary tea/coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits & water. A small ironing board/iron is fitted in each room, useful if attending a formal meeting. I only ate there for breakfast & a lunch from bar menu but food was good quality including vegan options. Staff were friendly & helpful, all at a reasonable price, couldn't really ask for much more.

Miinukset: Air con/heating unit in bedroom was a bit noisy & TV screen a bit on small side. But no major problem.

Plussat: As usual the room was comfortable and all staff professional.

Miinukset: Give the price, the room was smaller than usual. My previous stays have had larger rooms (or they appear to have been larger)

Plussat: the age and history of the building

Miinukset: Room was a bit dark

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: That the rooms were modern when the rest of hotel was boutique.

Plussat: Very clean rooms , handy location friendly helpful staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Central location on riverfront, very traditional long established local hotel,clean and comfortable . Quirky. Nice breakfast.

Miinukset: Rooms on small side , but comfortable .

Plussat: Very close to the town centre and yet very quiet. Lovely outlook over the embankment.

Plussat: Received a free upgrade on checking in and had a room overlooking the river which was lovely! The room was clean, bed really comfortable and I really enjoyed spending time in the hotel! Will be back!

Miinukset: Nothing. Perfect stay.

Plussat: most Things were great.

Miinukset: Beds were only small singles and the Duvets were to small.

Plussat: Old full of character

Miinukset: Shabby, paint peeling off, furniture worn out, and no pool, gym or spa like advertised!

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: Contrasting look and feel inside and out. Beautiful traditional building with dated but traditional features at reception and main building. Then a very modern restaurant with no traditional features at all. Hotel is warm and welcoming, restaurant is cold but vibrant. I am assuming the hotel is in a transition period, but I liked it anyway.

Miinukset: Car park is extremely tight and tough to navigate. I have a long wheelbase car and didn't even attempt to get it into a bay. Place is missing a crackling fireplace but other than that it was good.

Plussat: Needs to be updated but overall ok, great location

Miinukset: Old needs updating

Plussat: Nice pub with rooms at the rear

Miinukset: No blinds on the door and not able to switch off the outside light. Lit up the room all night.

Plussat: This booking was for room only

Miinukset: Room very dark but tiered, bath excellent towels and bedding were good, big downside was no headboard or cushions on the bed which would have made for more comfort not having a headboard to use to prop against watching tv, needed another comfy armchair in the room. Internet details showed cushions etc

Plussat: food and staff excellent room tidy and clean

Miinukset: The front door lacked a blind there was a fitting their so it may have just been taken down

Plussat: Comfy and clean

Miinukset: Wall heater very noisy disturbing sleep

Plussat: Friendly helpful staff. A good varied breakfast. Everywhere clean and tidy. Location for us was brilliant.

Miinukset: To much light coming in through front door. A curtain had been there at some point

Plussat: breakfast was ok, location was as expected

Miinukset: wifi in room very poor, shower dirty and had cobwebs, bed lumpy and uncomfortable, bathroom poorly lit and cramped, badly laid out room, can only access one wardrobe door because of furniture obstruction, no drawers for clothes just two cheap chest type storage boxes

Plussat: Ideal for what we needed

Plussat: Beautiful hotel, staff were lovely especially Charlotte in the bar area, she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. Room was big and lovely and clean, comfy bed and lovely bathroom. As we stayed new year's eve sadly the restaurant was closed so can't comment on the food. Lovely building in superb grounds, ample parking available.

Miinukset: New year's eve and the owners children and family children running around through the bar screaming totally unchecked by parents!! At one point 4 of the children were at the bar!! I didn't book here for new year's eve to listen to kids running around right up to 1am, I was told the same thing happened last year and complaints were made yet still it happened again this year!! Management take note, listen to your paying guests!!

Plussat: Everything the staff were amazing so welcoming, the room was very spacious and to top it off the most comfortable bed ever

Miinukset: Room was fairly cold and the radiator was small and would not heat fully even on high setting, felt like the radiator needed bleeding

Plussat: The personal touch and the friendly staff, food was very good. Very in tune lone female traveller

Miinukset: Not there fault its an old hotel needs a refurb

Plussat: lovely location very impressive building and a lovely log fire in reception very welcoming. Nice staff ate in the dining room menu could have been better but the food was tasty and reasonably priced. Had a standard double that was a bit of a hike to get to and was probably in need of a refurb but it was clean, bed was a bit too hard for me.

Miinukset: Bedroom was a bit dated and the bed too hard

Plussat: The garden room was very suitable for my elderly parents. They stayed at Christmas and the atmosphere was very festive.

Plussat: The staff were very helpful. The gluten free options were very good and it was very nice to be offered a gf option of fish and chips.

Plussat: Lovely setting (though we didn't benefit much fro this during winter). Nice wide bed. Good spread for buffet breakfast. Efficient booking in and check-out.

Miinukset: 2nd nights stay should have been at reduced rate - welcome pack for 1 night only. Low supplies of teabags and milk - had to request extra both nights. Staff function meant regular staff replaced with stand-ins - very slow and inefficient service in restaurant.

Plussat: Everything. Literally everything.

Miinukset: If I had to be super picky the bathroom could have done with a re-grout/sealant, but wasn’t in a bad condition. Just starting to show a little wear.

Plussat: Good breakfast & very helpful, courteous staff

Miinukset: Room TV in need of replacement - slight distortion of colours (Red streaks) on black or shaded areas

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a problem with the tv in my room they fixed it straight away and gave me a complementary glass of wine for the disturbance

Miinukset: Was quite happy with everything

Plussat: Everything. Disabled parking was close by. Our room was easily big enough for the wheelchair. Staff were friendly and efficient. The full English breakfast, served in our room by request, was still hot when we ate it - and delicious too! I cannot fault the Barnes ... except for that little kerb!

Miinukset: Disabled access could have been better, but at least it was there. Like many places, small kerbs are not considered a problem - and I mean less than 3cm high - but in an electric wheelchair it is insurmountable. The option of using a little ramp and entering from another door meant manoeuvring through some difficult doors/corridors. The cutting back of some bushes to enable using the ramp and still entering by the front door would very easily solve the problem.

Plussat: Location for Bedford Autodrome

Miinukset: Breakfast menu could be improved - no bananas or decaf coffee.

Plussat: Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable room

Plussat: Nice comfortable room , nice village location and historic building

Miinukset: No cereal at breakfast, apparently a problem with a fridge so no fresh milk for the cereal or tea. We had an evening meal but no prawn cocktail available although on menu, no boiled potatoes available to be had with the salmon offered chips or mashed. Only one choice of beer available Greene King IPA very disappointing and this wasn’t great so had to find something else as an alternative. Service not the best it’s been on previous visits appears to be staffing problems, one person doing breakfast duty and checkout including cooking. Appears regular “boss” Bev away

Plussat: Great value for money. The old building full of character. We loved our cosy little room with a beamed ceiling and we loved the restaurant and bar, it was nostalgic for us and like going back to the early 90's with the decor. Friendly staff. Good food. Great value!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Location and staff

Plussat: Comfortable beds. Nice warm welcome

Miinukset: Only thing was they could do with a grab bar on the baths

Plussat: Friendly staff. Clean. Comfortable beds.

Miinukset: Lighting was poor and shower needs to be upgraded. The lack of flexibilty with refund when friends had to cancel 2 days before due to illness.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Comfortable room lovely food friendly staff

Plussat: Full English breakfast was very good. The bacon, three large rashers, was a bit on the 'gammony' side, but the sausage was excellent. Staff very attentive with good service. I would happily stay there again if I was in the Bedford area. The village, Newton Blossomville, is charming and there is a lovely walk past the church and through the water meadows to the bridge over the river.

Plussat: Great location for F1 park and ride sixfields Silverstone Great breakfast good value

Plussat: Vacinity to the venue we were attending.

Miinukset: Dated and tiered facilities and decor. Staff rude, no smiles, not interested.

Plussat: Very comfortable typical Inn facilities with very helpful staff.

Miinukset: Parking in the roadway could be improved by generating a safe park in the near vacinity.

Plussat: the staff were really friendly and helpful we were attending a wedding locally and were aloud to check in earlier than normal and all our question prior to arriving were answered promptly . the facilities were great and the breakfast was fab.

Plussat: Friendly staff, nothing was to much trouble for them. Food is excellent..... good quality ingredients well presented. Outside garden was lovely with shaded areas. Fridge in room with fresh milk and bottled water was a real bonus Comfortable bed, good shower

Miinukset: Room could do with a deep clean. Dust on chair, bedside cabinets, plug banks and skirting boards. Lovely room just needs some attention

Plussat: The breakfast was lovely, rooms were clean and staff all very friendly. We were there for a wedding at newton farm and it was perfect location!

Plussat: Upon arrival a nice warm welcome from the manager and also at breakfast a warm welcome from Ryan who took the booking and did a great job of it . Warm comfy cozy rooms clean and a descent size to. Reasonable sized breakfast could have been a bit more but nevertheless overall great value for money.

Miinukset: Nothing to say here !!!

Plussat: Everything especially Luciano he is so lovely

Miinukset: Staff were phenomenal, very attentive but not overly so. Exceptionally clean and tide, lovely location, and excellent breakfast.

Plussat: Parking and cameras for security was good

Miinukset: The shower would get hot and cut off in the middle goes cold and hot again

Plussat: Good spacious car park. Friendly staff. Perfectly clean, and fantastic value.

Plussat: There was a Man that we called Man. He had a little bell on his desk which was very helpful. I think he lived in a little room here so we let him eat the rest of our curry that we got delivered. He was grateful and cooked us our breakfast. He tidied up after us. I would recommend Man and he is a great asset and of course a great Man.

Plussat: Breakfast was great, waiter is fantastic,every morning with a warm greeting

Miinukset: Room was near front door so was noisy

Plussat: It was exactly what was promised, clean, excellent breakfast, helpful staff and comfy beds.

Miinukset: All great. Bathroom was shared but we knew that.

Miinukset: Wi - Fi didnt work most of the time.

Plussat: Staff were so friendly & the Thai food was delish.

Miinukset: Bathrooms are very small.

Plussat: It's a "boutique style" hotel with some quite quirky decor (lots of neon!) and it was fine for a place to rest our head for the night. The room was clean and tidy and the staff were very polite and professional, plus it was a short walk from the train station which was ideal for us.

Miinukset: Although it was clean and tidy, the room was quite cramped and small (particularly the bathroom) which probably would have been an issue if we were staying for more than one night or spending a reasonable amount of time in the room. When we arrived back at the hotel in the early hours of the morning there were several people hanging around and talking to the desk clerk which was a bit unsettling and noisy.

Plussat: Staff really friendly, a pleasant stay.

Miinukset: There was no lift and accommodation was upstairs. They did however carry my bag up for me.

Plussat: Bed was very comfortable

Miinukset: Traffic getting to hotel

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: The first bedroom was awful much too small and the bathroom smelt. Second room was better but not more. We will never stay there again It was cheap but not worth the little we paid

Plussat: Clean bed&bathrooms, comfortable beds, lovely personnel

Plussat: welcoming, nice atmosphere, small sunken bath

Plussat: the breakfast only

Miinukset: it was not good value for money, quite dirty, run down, i would not stay here again

Plussat: Friendly staaf,good breakfast, nice silent place

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Quiet during my stay. Staff polite but business-like

Miinukset: Hotel generally - drab, in need of re-furb or at the very least deco (my company is currently refurbishing a hotel in Harrogate). Room - not duly dirty but carpets, curtains etc need a good clean. Bathroom has mould on ceiling & two walls. This is due mainly to poor ventilation, however, room cleaners should have this under control and they don't.

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: Rooms need some makeover

Plussat: style of hotel.. homely.

Miinukset: check out 11.00, would pref 12.00, but not big issue.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful particularly the young gentleman on reception.

Miinukset: TV was a little small relying on a set top aerial so he picture moved around.

Plussat: Food and Staff were first class.

Miinukset: Nedd to improve on details. Broken TV and Remote. Stained mattress outside room.

Plussat: Room clean and ? recently redecorated

Miinukset:

Plussat: Near to city centre

Miinukset: It was cold and only 6 tv channels, no dinner on Sunday evening

Plussat: It's a good place and nice people
