This 17th century inn is situated in the beautiful village of Turvey, a quintessential English village just 10 miles (16 km) west of Bedford and just a short drive from Northampton and Milton Keynes. Situated just off the A428, the Three Cranes’ convenient location means it has good access to the region’s major road network. Situated in the heart of this picturesque village, this small country inn is also a great base from which to visit nearby Castle Ashby and Woburn Abbey with its impressive safari park, populated with elephants, giraffes and lions. There are 5 bedrooms, each of which has a country inn style. All rooms have a TV and tea/coffee making facilities. The inn's restaurant offers freshly prepared meals and a choice of fine wines. The bar has open fireplaces and serves an extensive range of real ales.
