We would stay again! ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### SEEMA Dec 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quick check in, lovely room and bathroom. Breakfast was great enjoyed our stay but would have preferred a firmer mattress and sounds of doors closing can be heard along with creaky floorboards but this is down to it being an old building. The hotel is beautifully decorated for Christmas and I would definitely return. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/74469141-055f-4ebd-aa64-1dcb1e6bf189-1765646527362.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/09c9e551-ed64-4626-a91f-539b55cb33b7-1765646527862.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/87a266f7-5f35-47a2-8ba7-ba5da8993d6a-1765646529325.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### SEEMA Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raymond Nov 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I thought the staff were very professional and helpful.

Breakfast so so. Room was lovely, very quiet. Shower really good. Spa was fabulous, would have been nice to have been shown each station and that there was an ordinary shower to shower off after the steam/sauna rooms (it was stuck on scalding hot when I was in there the first day). But generally great stay - and I've booked again when I travel for my next course in the area. ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Yvonne Aug 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Bedford Swan We stayed here on our way back home form Essex. What a fabulous Hotel, the décor and amazing touches are just gorgeous. Our room, 107, was fairly basic but we had everything we needed and the beds were really comfy. The food was amazing, we ate in the Pen & Cob Brasserie in the evening and we had the best treatment, felt very special. thank you Daniel. ##### Yvonne Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marie May 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Very nice and quiet.

Although the room was clean it was very cramped with no facilities to hang clothes. This is our 2nd stay at the hotel . On the first occasion we stayed in a room on the 1st floor (for the same price) which was far less cramped . The hotel itself is in a lovely setting on the embankment, with a very nice bar and restaurant. ##### Heather Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > > [Dune View](https://www.expedia.ca/Lytham-St-Annes-Hotels-Dune-View.h39521123.Hotel-Information) > > [Captivating 4-bed House in Dartford](https://www.expedia.ca/Dartford-Hotels-Captivating-4-Bed-House-In-Dartford.h100790779.Hotel-Information) > > [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32463857.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel St Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives-Hotels-St-Ives-Harbour-Hotel.h175599.Hotel-Information) > > [The Midland](https://www.expedia.ca/Morecambe-Hotels-Midland-Hotel.h2019737.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Jay, Derby by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.ca/Derby-Hotels-Blue-Jay.h27427635.Hotel-Information) > > [Townhouse Exeter](https://www.expedia.ca/Exeter-Hotels-Townhouse-Exeter.h15212615.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Bude-Hotels-Beach-House.h5814981.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunday Box Hill Burford Bridge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dorking-Hotels-Sunday-Hotels-Box-Hill.h861138.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Maison Claire](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Hotels-Maison-Claire.h2250858.Hotel-Information) > > [Yacht Bay View](https://www.expedia.ca/Morecambe-Hotels-Yacht-Bay-View.h3877588.Hotel-Information) > > [Creeksea Place Barns](https://www.expedia.ca/Burnham-On-Crouch-Hotels-Creeksea-Place-Barns.h29053293.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clifton Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Morecambe-Hotels-The-Clifton-Hotel.h99855094.Hotel-Information) > > [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Swan](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-The-White-Swan.h17687783.Hotel-Information) > > [Lion & Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Congleton-Hotels-Lion-Swan-Hotel.h67431685.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cliff Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bude-Hotels-The-Cliff-Hotel.h4865886.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Chester](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Hotels-The-Hotel-Chester.h60919379.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > > [2bed Sleeps 3 - Central, Near Train Station, Wifi](https://www.expedia.ca/Dartford-Hotels-Cosy-2-Bed-Home-Central-Location.h112219665.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Knights Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Great-Yarmouth-Hotels-Knights-Court-Hotel.h2286304.Hotel-Information) > > [Tides Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Pevensey-Hotels-Tides-Cottage.h42241061.Hotel-Information)
