My recent stay at Bedford Lodge Hotel was mostly enjoyable, with top-notch cleanliness and comfort in the rooms, and a cozy atmosphere overall. The dining options were decent, especially the breakfast, but there were a few hiccups with our newspaper order. The pool area and spa facilities were nice, but I was a bit surprised by the added service charge on my dining bill. Overall, I felt I got good value for money despite these minor issues.

I recently stayed at the hotel for an anniversary getaway, and although there were some enjoyable moments, the overall experience left much to be desired. While I appreciated the scenic view of the neighboring race horse stud, the outdated room decor was disappointing, and the restaurant's prices felt inflated. The spa experience was nice, but the service in the dining area was subpar, which really detracted from the experience. I had hoped for a more luxurious stay given the cost, especially as the room didn't meet my expectations for quality and comfort.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful spa hotel, with high-quality dining and attentive service standing out as highlights. Our room was nicely furnished, but it could benefit from some upkeep. The spa treatments were luxurious, and the peaceful atmosphere enhanced our overall relaxation. However, it was a bit loud during one of the evenings due to misunderstandings with other guests, which detracted slightly from the experience.

My stay at the hotel started with a spacious room that had some impressive features, but unfortunately, the view was quite unappealing. The breakfast was average, and I encountered issues with dining reservations that aimed to celebrate a special occasion. On a brighter note, the spa facilities were a highlight of my experience, offering relaxation and professional treatments in a serene environment. Despite some drawbacks with dining and room table arrangements, the hotel has potential but needs improvement in service consistency.
