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.

The Kingfisher cancelled our two rooms at 4pm on the day leaving us with an unacceptable alternative- holiday inn. After a stressful search we managed to secure two rooms at the Manor hotel FLITWICK which was excellent

Albero Bedrooms, hotel in Bedford

Located in Bedford, Albero Bedrooms has a fitness center, restaurant, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property.

The room was lovely - beautifully decorated & furnished, big windows, very comfortable bed, nice selection of various teas, bottled water etc. Very clean. Bathroom had good sized shower with decent water pressure. The restaurant was excellent - really good food and caters very well indeed for vegans, vegetarians & gluten free. Location is great. Overall I would stay here again because the positives definitely outweigh the odd first impression given by the check in experience - which could be improved on (see below)

    We used to live just outside Bedford.

    We used to live just outside Bedford. Its a small town centre with pleasant riverside walks. Entertainment is limited and shopping is declining because Milton Keynes (MK) is so close. However its quiet and safe and not over commercialised like MK. Quite a good stopping over sort of place but not very stimulating

    It was a revisit to friends after being at college there 50 years ago. The Embankment hasn’t changed much but the roads and houses look more upmarket in that area. Went to the athletic stadium for a party and that is a real asset for the town. Didn’t have time to visit the town centre but some nice smaller restaurants and shops on side roads. Bedford is pretty central to visit the local area but the whole road system takes some negotiating.

    Bedford is a compact town. It is well sign-posted.

    Bedford is a compact town. It is well sign-posted. The river area is very pleasant with plenty of walks and cycle routes. There are activities for children here. There is a very good food market here twice a week. The shops are not very interesting, but it has good arcades. The Cultural Quarter is good. The Higgins Gallery is superb and free. The Bunyan Museum is small, but welcoming and informative. It is also free. I didn't have time to go anywhere else.

    There is a great museum with some surprising artworks for a small (albeit county)town. Also a museum dedicated to John Bunyan which draws visitors from all over the world-it has a Moot Hall just outside the town at Elstow which is beautiful with oak beams & lots of artefacts (& a nearby abbey) The riverside makes a beautiful walk & there are shops & interesting cafes in the town centre. In the market square there is a church & there was a BBC base there during WW2.There are connections to the band leader Glenn Miller who was lost in a plane over the channel when he was on his way to entertain the troops in France.Near the town centre there is a castle mound which is the only remaining part of Bedford Castle-the gardens can be explored & the history discovered.

    We need to plan a return visit - the was so much to do but other commitments meant that we only caught glimpses of what the town had to offer. We did enjoy dining at the Nazar Lounge, an original establishment where we were feted with tasty food from friendly, attentive staff. We have to go back - sooner rather than later.

    Bedford is a pleasant town with deep history, but not a lot to show for it. The castle is in ruins. I was serendipitously surprised to find the John Bunyan Museum across the street from my hotel. The writer of Pilgrim's Progress, he is perhaps Bedford's most famous citizen, more even than the medieval Lords and Ladies who resided in the castle. The river walk is beautiful. I watching people sculling on the river. Many people commute from Bedford to London for work.

    Delightful and original family centred hotel with genuine and supportive staff, great menu choices (One of our group is Gluten intolerant the satff could not have been more helpful) The food is excellent, the beer and wine list also. I am happy to recommend this jewel of a small originally deigned hotel as ideal for a short or long stay in Bedford. Family from USA/Germany/Spain and Scotland were enthralled.
