    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.

    Originally planned to stay in Milton Keynes as it would have been closer to the sporting event event we planned to see. Due to lack of availability at Milton Keynes decided to try Bedford. Pleased to say the location of the hotel and the proximity to the Bedford retail park 5 minutes drive up the road worked ok for us and the extra distance required to get to the sporting event was offset by the cost of the hotel so 100% happy and would use the hotel again. Also parking was readily available.

    The hotel was perfectly situated for a short walk into town, also easy to access the main route out of Bedford to reach our next destination at Twinwood. The room was lovely and light with a big bay window overlooking the garden. The king size bed was very comfortable and the bed linen and pillows were of good quality. Good size very comfortable bath with quality toiletries and beautiful soft white towels. Enjoyed the hot chocolate and biscuits. Delicious breakfast and evening meal.

    My Nana used to work at D'Parys back in the 50's and so my mom and I wanted to revisit this special place knowing it was still open. They truly exceeded our expectations. The staff were so lovely and the food was amazing! Breakfast was included in our stay and they also have a full restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We did not want to leave this beautiful hotel because we had such a wonderful time! Thank you to everyone that made our trip one to remember!

    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.

    Visiting location for a few days and the apartment was awesome. Spacious, modern, comfortable and close to the town and rail station. Modern facilities, super comfortable beds and just perfect for our needs for a more spacious accommodation. Definitely recommend if you need a stay in Bedford.
