Guest Ratings & Reviews

Real Guest Experiences & Ratings

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Bedford Townhouse enjoys a superb central location, making it easy to walk to sights like King John's Castle and the Three Bridges Walk. Guests often appreciate the spacious and comfortable rooms and the well-equipped gym on site; some have, however, found the rooms to be a little noisy. Breakfast at the restaurant next door is frequently mentioned as excellent, with a freshly cooked menu, though one guest experienced some issues with their order. Free water is available in the rooms and the gym, adding to the perceived value.
