The Kingfisher, hotel in Bedford

The Kingfisher is a riverside pub with rooms located on the River Great Ouse, just 9.9 miles from the M1 and 8.1 miles from A1.

Staff were welcoming and helped us find out more about this historic property. Restaurant was great for breakfast and dinner. Location near the river was beautiful and must be lovely in the summer. Bedroom was comfortable and had everything we needed.

Large twin room with all modern facilities. Breakfast was good with a range of options. location is very central and in a good area of Bedford. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. The hotel decor on the inside and in the rooms is of a good modern standard, unlike the outside appearance, this is one hotel that could do with some cladding.

    Bedford has a great museum & art collection at The Higgins & just around the corner is the world famous John Bunyan museum.Sadly the High Street is in decline with the recent proliferation of out of town shopping centres,but the river front Embankment,Russell Park & the site of Bedford Castle make for good walks. The town has some nice cafes & pubs & there is a market in the square on Saturdays-mainly fruit & veg & food.There are other stalls outside Boots selling clothes.On the other side of town is the larger Bedford Park,complete with Victorian bandstand & public swimming pool. Bedford has some lovely architecture & interesting old churches & pubs. There is a new cinema on the outskirts of town. For clothes shopping etc Rushden Lakes & Milton Keynes are a short drive away,as are many diverse pretty country village pubs for dinner. There is a large independent book shop in town which is worth a visit.

    Bedfords most redeeming features are the River Great Ouse with many walks along the embankment and further, 2 large well managed parks, plenty of history. As a base there are 2 amazing aircraft museums within 30 miles, closest is The shuttlworth collection at Old Warden, a bit further is Duxford Imperial War Museum. There are many other interesting attractions only a short drive away. As well as some really good hotels where quality and service are excellent The Barns for example,

    Due to the bitter cold weather it was was not the ideal place although the market was on and I got the wreathes for the church yards and cemetery so it saved me another trip to Bedford , there was a winter wonderland in Bedford park that is the first time I have ever known anything like that to be in the park.

    The large parks were very well kept and made for a pleasant walk. There is quite a contrast between some areas, the waterfront area is good but some of the suburb areas are quite run down and you may wish to avoid after dark. Plenty of places to eat out.

    A pretty town by the river but the town centre is truly grotty. Walked down the gorgeous d'Parys avenue into convivium of homeless street dwellers noisily drunk and swearing and at least two groups of weed smokers outside St Peters church. The high street was full of very rowdy groups. Then the serene river, along the embankment and up past the museum. Bedford seems to have two sides, tree lined avenues and riverside and a town centre itself that is in the throes of becoming destitute.

    I've never been to Bedford before but was pleasantly surprised. The walk along the river is lovely. There are there great museums, all free of charge. Lots of good restaurants, people were really friendly. We'll definitely be back.

    We were really impressed with our stay at the embankment hotel. We had our two young children with us and the room was set up perfectly. Very clean and well presented room. We had a lovely breakfast as well and the staff were really accommodating. We have friends who live in Bedford and would certainly stay here again. Lovely hotel and location and great value for money!

    I had a cooked breakfast, it was well made and hot, there was complimentary cereal and other options available too. Staff were friendly and helpful. The guesthouse is a recently renovated Victorian villa in a quiet avenue close to the centre of Bedford. My room had an enormous (queen sized) bed and everywhere was impeccably clean.

    Great hotel for 1 night stay, good location to access Bedford and other routes, staff were very helpful from checking in, at breakfast and until we left. I'm gluten free and at breakfast they provided gluten free breakfast cereals and toast upon request. We had our dog with us and nice garden area at the back to take him out.

    Location handy for the City centre and attractions. Beautiful surroundings and breakfast was a pleasure in the Atrium. We sat near the window looking out over the River. The receptionist was polite and friendly regardless of our checking - in experience. Hotel is lovely and clean and modern in decor.

    The hotel is lovely and a great location. There is a bar and restaurant downstairs, and the food looked great although we dined elsewhere with friends. The breakfast was fantastic. The room was spacious, but the family option was a pull out sofa bed so not ideal.

    This is within easy walking distance if on contract to the Bedford South Wing Hospital. The geese, swan and sea gulls in the morning and evening was a sight to delight the heart! Quite serene surroundings with opulent rooms to make one feel pampered.

    The location is wonderful. You can walk into Bedford town, or down to the River Great Ouse. Having a dedicated parking space was a real plus too. There is a washer/dryer, which was very handy.
