Pet friendly hotel in Bedford

“Lovely room. VERY clean and well presented. Lovely peaceful place and lovely service. Will definitely be back and would definitely recommend!”

“Over 2 years ago, we got married at this location. The day was perfect. The staff were helpful throughout the planning process and the day itself went without issue. 2 years later, we came back, now with our son, for our 2 year Anniversary. Again, the staff were extremely professional, the food was worth more than what they charged, and, to help us celebrate, some items were made free for us. I cannot say just how amazing every aspect of the Woodland Manor Hotel is and the staff are amazing”

“We held our daughters surprise babyshower here and can honestly say the service was impeccable. Nothing was too much trouble and any requests were met with a smile and quick action. Thank you all so for making the day so special we shall definitely return.”

“Lovely setting and great service. Food was fabulous and even for myself being a celiac non gluten eater they were very helpful, helping me choose items of the menu and checking on things with the chef. Bought bread rolls out for our other party members quickly followed by a non gluten bread roll for myself. Portion. Size of food is big and delicious. Not cheap but worth it.”

“On a corporate level we work with The Kingfisher regularly in terms of booking meetings, corporate events and bedrooms. I can not rate Chris and the events/reservations team highly enough. They provide exceptional levels of service, never let us down and always go out of their way to exceed our expectations and ensure we return. Liaising with them is always seamless and effortless - nothing is too much trouble for them. If you're looking for an event location in Bedford please do consider The Kingfisher - their location on the river is especially lovely in the summer. Chef is great too - the food has always been very good - even when catering for large numbers. Just the bedrooms that are starting to look a little tired and in need of a bit of investment - but are more than perfectly acceptable and are always immaculately clean with high quality bedding and linen. However, this does not stop me recommending The Kingfisher enough!”

“we had a wonderful stay at the swan hotel. The room was spacious and had everything I needed, with décor that was modern and really beautifully done. The thermal spa session was incredibly relaxing and definitely a highlight of our visit. The restaurant offered a great choice of food, and everything was excellent value for money. Overall, a fantastic experience, we will definitely be coming back.”

“Had a fantastic weekend at The Bell for our annual family meet up. The staff were fantastic and worked so hard to ensure our party of 12 were looked after in the bar, at dinner and breakfast. A great place to stay and eat in the a lovely Bedfordshire village.”

“Had an overnight stay in Woburn last weekend. Longs provided a friendly and cosy place to stay for the night at incredible value. Highly recommended. The only small negative was that I was looking forward to a cooked breakfast that was advertised when I booked however when leaving the building at about 09.00am on a Sunday there were no staff on duty and definitely no smells of food being cooked. I guess I just picked a bad day but never mind.”

“I have stayed here on numerous occasions for work purposes. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The beds here are one of the most comfortable I've experienced. Air con - warm/cool is perfect. The only amenities I miss is a small fridge and iron. Shower rooms are adequate, although I do detest a fixed shower head! The staff are all very pleasant. Elizabeta and Meera in the restaurant are very professional and polite. Breakfast offers sufficient choice for me and is enjoyable.”

“Booked a 2 night stay visiting family, upon arrival the manager couldn’t do much more for us. Extra towels no bother, offered us a cup of tea. We were on the 7th floor and had a side river view. The room was spotless, not even a stray hair in the bathroom. We didn’t ask for it to be cleaned whilst we were there as it wasn’t required. Upon check out validating for the car park is really easy to do, on the machine provided. Not sure if this is premier inn’s model, but removing all front of house staff is a big mistake when you have wonderful staff working for you.”

“This hotel ticks all the boxes. It's clean, modern and comfortable. Nice hot breakfast. Good location. The staff however make it great. Lovely service from Olga and Oliver throughout our 1 night stay. Thank you”

“Me and my son booked a room last minute, as soon as we arrived we were amazed at the aesthetic of the hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful! The hotel was immaculate and very clean throughout. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our room was perfect, the bed was made all towels were provided and tea and coffee was there. The bathroom was great had soap and shower gels shampoo etc no signs of mould or dirt.. Extremely clean and very well presented. Staff were very very friendly and helpful. Thank you for such a warm welcome 10/10”

“Many positives, especially Russell on reception who went out of his way numerous times to help us. Also to Michael the night porter who was very helpful. The disabled lift was not working and this should have been looked into quickly but wasn't. Although, I was able to access the bar and restaurant via the staff kitchen entrance luckily thanks to Russell and Co. Had to ask staff 3 times for a remote for the air-con. Russell was the one who resolved this, thankfully. I assume the other 2 staff forget. Hotel needs more disabled car spaces, 2 is not enough. Hotel located in a very nice quiet area of country. Breakfast was superb and all staff very helpful and friendly, although forgot one or two things. I'd stay again, which is a good sign!”

“Haven't been to center parcs as a couple before but the hotel made it a lovely romantic break. We stayed in a room with a kitchen which is a full kitchen. This was great as we could have a nice leisurely breakfast. It was great that the hotel is next to everything, we didnt have a long walk back to the room in the evening. Next big family holiday, I'll happily stay in the hotel to get some quiet.”

“I had a great stay at the Northampton Bedford Road Premier Inn on the A428. The receptionist team was incredibly welcoming and made check-in smooth and friendly. A special mention to Fridah, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained. Overall, excellent service from start to finish. Thank you! Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.”

“Great place to stay. Greeted by a wonderful person full of joy and polite. Good price and check out was 12 not 10. Local to Toby and a pub.”

“Clean and quiet at night. Reception staff welcoming and easy check-in.”

“I always stay at this particular Travelodge whenever I visit Bedford with my boys and we're always assured a comfortable and peaceful stay. It's very quiet being far enough from Bedford but also being near enough to be a great base to visit family from. Always 100% service and cleanliness etc.”

“Converted stables on small family run farm. Well equipped. Clean. Great Wi-Fi. One bed cottage with sofa bed in lounge. Well equipped kitchen area. Good location with easy access to surrounding areas. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and use again. Booked direct with hosts as we stayed a month but also bookable online.”

“Really lovely pub. Friendly. Great outside space. First time here, would come back on any future visit to Bedford.”

“Mostly fantastic, the selection of restaurants is great, the lodges have a very nice social area and good facilities. The only thing I found to be an issue was that the Subtropical Swimming Paradise isn’t quite up to the level of Elveden Forest’s in my opinion, as it lacks a saltwater lagoon (mostly negated by the lazy river being saltwater) although there being more large flumes is great, and I get that this can’t be easily changed as it is a central feature. Overall a great Center Parcs resort.”

“Absolutley lovely cottages. 14 of us were down for a fishing trip. Honestly, these cottages were perfect for us. Had everything you could ask for. I would not hesitate to go back to these amazing cottages. The living area was great with an open-plan living room/kitchen area. The bedrooms were spotless and the beds were so comfy. The bathroom was more of the same, clean and tidy, and the shower was amazing too. Thank you so much for an amazing stay. We will hopefully be back again soon”

“Nice, warm room. Massive bed! Lovely hostess, but we've been a few times before so are familiar with the layout, etc. Nice breakfasts, full English, cereals, fruit juice or whatever you choose within reason. Very accomodating and close to the town centre.”

“Lovely venue..Nice location ..road up is a bit bumpy but no problem. Plenty of parking..massive dining area and a separate party/ relaxation building away from the sleeping pods. Very well decorated and comfortable highly recommend staff very lovely”

“Visit here for Yoga sessions, such a tranquil setting for yoga and studio is equipped with everything you need, from mats, bolsters and blankets etc. Love coming here.”

“What a great little place! We stayed for a night whilst visiting Santa Pod. On arrival, Bobby came to meet us, showed us where we were staying, and gave us our keys. There were a couple of rooms accessed from the side of the establishment via a locked door, which you were provided a key for along with your room key. Once inside, there was a communal area with iron and board, Bobby's contact details should we need them and the WiFi info. From here, there was access to a shared kitchen we could make use of, which was very clean. It had all the amenities you could want. Then there were also the entrances to the rooms. Our room was brilliant, with what looked like a queen size bed. Which was amazing! It was decorated very tastefully and impeccably tidy throughout. The ensuite was exceedingly clean. We had our evening meal at the Spice Tree, Indian Restaurant, which shared the premises. The food was so delicious, and the staff were lovely and friendly. All in all, a great stay which I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thanks Bobby!”

“Have visited with friends for meals on several occasions. Food is always excellent - good choice for those with allergies, drinks are great with a wide variety. Staff are always friendly and welcoming”

“I love the vibe here! Gives me such a cosy chilled vibe but also with sense of class and elegance! It’s perfect for any occasion! Always come here when I have friends around!”

“On arrival we were welcomed by a lovely lady who showed us to our room in this fabulous old manor house offering us country side views. Rooms are very clean and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. There are convenient shops nearby and many pubs serving food within a few miles. The Five Bells in Henlow comes highly recommended. The grounds are beautiful and surrounding areas outstanding. We were so happy to find this rare gem. We will be back on our next visit to Bedfordshire for sure.”
