Lovely classic Hotel, lots of creaking floorboards, & I’m sure steeped in History. Staff were amazing, very professional & helpful. Food was good although fancied that second slice of bacon, sausage & egg at breakfast. Room was clean, comfortable. Portable A/C struggled to cool room temperature but not a major issue. I would stay again, so thank you Bedford.

On the whole, well done to the Bedford hotel. I'm quite tall and wide, so the small shower cubicle was very snug! Apart from that a good stay.
