Great spot

The building and decor is fabulous. Real feeling of history and space. Outside bar and restaurant lovely on the river even with a regatta and a wedding on.

Great location for an overnight stay

Lovely location right by the river. Hotel is spotless and staff were all very helpful although it was understaffed for demand at the bar with long queues because of the glorious weather. Rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. Would recommend this hotel.

Fab!!

Really lovely decor, restaurant was lovely and the food was really reasonable and tasty. The staff are really lovely and attentive and I thought very professional. The only negative was that the carpark was really busy and we had expected to be able to park at the hotel but there is plenty of parking a short walk away. The spa was really nice too. Overall really lovely!

A lovely find

Lovely hotel by river walks and close to Bedford market. Excellent evening meal with plenty of servers. Didnt try spa. Forgot comb or brush and disappointed that hotel stocked no emergency supplies such as Toothbrush or comb for ocasional disorganised customers. The hotel over the river sorted me out as shops in walking distance were closed.
