The property itself is nice and the rooms presented well. Car parking is poor with limited spaces and damaged surfaces. Breakfast was not managed well during a power cut with diners waiting being told they may need to evacuate so no one was shown to their seats.

I'm a maintenance engineer and usually go to hotels and see a load of poor maintenance and flaws. This place is well maintained, with high end details (Burlington taps as an example). Great stay.

Stayed for five nights as we worked through some issues with our car. Bedford really convenient and Bedford Swan very convenient to convenience stores and takeaways. Lovely room, nice renovated bathroom. It does get busy in the weekends with weddings etc. so parking can be a bit tricky. But overall good stay. We had a few small issues with the room and they were dealt with quickly by staff. Would definitely stay again.
