    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.

    A fine venue, with a convenient car park for someone, like me, doing an event at the Corn Exchange. This is the 1960s building with the slightly faded windows and the grotty exterior that you can see from the Swan Hotel. But it's fine inside. So, ironically, the more expensive Swan gets a view across the river at the slightly messy looking Mercure, while the Mercure's beautifully sunlit breakfast room gets a lovely view of the classic old Swan and the best side of Bedford.

    My Nana used to work at D'Parys back in the 50's and so my mom and I wanted to revisit this special place knowing it was still open. They truly exceeded our expectations. The staff were so lovely and the food was amazing! Breakfast was included in our stay and they also have a full restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We did not want to leave this beautiful hotel because we had such a wonderful time! Thank you to everyone that made our trip one to remember!

    Everything flawless smooth and accordingly thanks to the reception staff Luke he made sure of that. Nice clean tidy spacious rooms ensure a very comfortable relaxing stay. Ample parking not far from Bedford to. Awesome variety of choices for included breakfast which was very tasty. Continuing steps to help prevention of covid 19 seals the deal. I highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area of Bedford.

    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.

    Jason who checked me in was a consummate professional, parking was close by and I was expecting to pay but it was free, room was clean and bed comfortable. I was meeting friends in town and it was a 5 minute walk away. I grew up in Bedford and the river is the best part, so you can walk out your hotel and stroll by the river. Overall good value for money.

    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.

    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.
