    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.

    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.

    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.

    The best stay so far everything flawless and smoothly throughout my stay. All staff friendly extremely helpful and warm welcoming. Would highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting Bedford for sure. Fantastic location just a short walk into the town centre.

    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!

    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.

    This is within easy walking distance if on contract to the Bedford South Wing Hospital. The geese, swan and sea gulls in the morning and evening was a sight to delight the heart! Quite serene surroundings with opulent rooms to make one feel pampered.

    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.

    The hotel has a very vintage vibe which is very nice. It's located by the river, at a close proximity to city center. The room was very cozy, and they are very generous on the tea/coffee selection which is a very important detail in my books😅

    The property is in a great location and also once inside, it has probably the best set of facilities compared to all other similar type of short term rental properties in Bedford. The kitchen and bedroom is especially good.
