Mercure Bedford Centre Hotel, hotel in Bedford

Mercure Bedford Center Hotel is a wonderfully vibrant hotel, set in the busy market town of Bedford. Relax in the Bar before dining in the Restaurant.

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.

Woodland Manor Hotel, hotel in Bedford

Woodlands Manor is a secluded manor house in acres of grounds and gardens 2 miles from Bedford town center and accessible from the M1 motorway.

So, looking at prior reviews I decided to book this on a whim. What I can say is that the surroundings are amazing. Located close to the city centre but far enough away to not be bothered by traffic flowing past. Plenty of parking spaces, beautiful hotel with an interesting history. Our room was fantastic, quiet and a great view of the tranquil gardens from the windows. We are coming back and hopefully sooner rather than later. Staff helpful and pleasant and the breakfast (we were out in the evenings) was perfect with plenty of choice. How this place has 3 stars I'll never know.

    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.

    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.

    To be fair, the hotel enjoys a wonderful history and a great location overlooking the river and short walk to centre. And it was history that rescued the experience for us. Our view to the rear was uninspiring but did give us a glimpse of the Higgins Museum which we'd otherwise been unaware of. Happily, this was open on Wednesday and proved to be the highlight of the trip. Not least in introducing us to the fact that John Bunyan was born and lived nearby, Bedford's most famous son perhaps.

    The staff were excellent, both at check in and in the hotel restaurant where I dined in the evening. The room was big and comfortable and well stocked with tea coffee and mineral water. The bed was very comfortable and the shower pressure excellent. Best of all was the location - close enough to the town for convenience but far enough to not hear any noise and the car park was a relief as I’ve stayed at other Bedford hotels that are a nightmare!

    Excellent hotel that we used to go into Milton Keynes to see a concert. The hotel isn't actually in bedford, it is on the outskirts and very easy to access. The hotel was clean, the restaurant in the morning was excellent, staff were friendly and helpful and the bar was reasonably priced. The hotel is at the back of services on a dual carriageway and ideally placed for what we wanted.

    Brilliant apartment, very central location, and Bedford river is a peaceful 3-minute walk away. We stayed in Bedford for a week as we were visiting family (we are from kent) I will be returning in the new year and would love to stay here again. Great staff, cozy apartment, and great facilities including an amazing coffee machine, Netflix, and sheltered private parking.

    After a very long day traveling from Skye to Bedford I got a very friendly welcome at the Hotel, The staff were all young (compared to me at least) and enthusiastic, they were having fun whilst looking after their customers well. A lovely ambiance. Special thanks to Noah for a kindly beer that lifted my spirits. I had a brilliant sleep the bed was very comfortable.

    Central location, surprisingly quiet considering it was New Years Eve and we overlooked the High Street. Lovely clean room with by far the best shower we have ever used in a hotel room- didn’t want to get out! Staff were brilliant considering they were under pressure due to staff shortages. Would definitely return!

    We have been to the hotel several times. We always feel very welcomed and the staff are very friendly and helpful. As a couple who are currently long distance the Mercure Bedford has provided us with a hotel we are happy and confident to use regularly as our 'home from home'. Thank you again for a lovely weekend.

    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.

    I have stayed at Woodland Manor before & my room this time was the best so far,comfy & quiet. The hotel is located in a village just outside Bedford & has lots of free parking & thus is an ideal location for a lone traveller. The gardens are lovely.
