Superb!

I didn’t have great expectations for the price I paid, even though reviews were very positive. However, everything was superb, from the staff, to the room, the cleanliness, and the breakfast. Location right on the edge of key routes and a 10min cab into Central Bedford. Superb!

Unfortunately the heating did not work in the room so it was a tad cold to start with but once I got a heater brought to my room it warmed up. Staff were great and very helpful.
