    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.

    All the facilities, I have been before and enjoyed my stay there, so this time! The staff pleasant, attentive and vey helpful as I had a bit of pb with my mobile phone and helped with an another lead from the Hotel. I lived in Bedford many years ago so it was really great to be in familiar ground again! I have known the Hotel many many years ago in fact my own mother and a friend stayed there but it wasn't the confort standard it has now with the change of ownership!

    We had a lovely stay at this hotel. It was situated perfectly for our visit.....near to the bus station and the train station. The shopping area nearby was very useful. The staff were very nice and having the restaurant/bar on site was extremely convenient. The outside terraces were lovely to sit and have a drink in the evening. The price for this accommodation is very good too. If traveling to Bedford again, I would not hesitate to book The Pilgrims Progress again.

    Room was nice, especially the walk in shower, although the room was missing touches you might expect for a £200 a night stay. No complimentary bottled water in the room and only Nescafe instant coffee sachets on the tea tray, been a long time since I have stayed in a hotel that didn't offer some sort of real coffee solution. Breakfast was great and the Pen and Cob is a really lovely setting, not only for breakfast but for drinks the previous evening.

    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!

    Convenient to city of Bedford. Supermarket at end of road. Easy to walk around town. Took walk to Embankment and river only 5 minutes away. They didnt serve food but were close to other pubs that did and restaurants. Staff were friendly and quick to respond. Rooms were clean. Beds were comfortable.

    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.

    Average, overpriced place. We went there as we were going to a concert In Bedford Park. Wanted to walk into town, but the hotel is surrounded by busy carriageways, so had to taxi it. Room as you expect. Staff nice and friendly.
