Great for business stays.

Excellent place to stay f you have a business trip in Bedford County. BP garage with M&S shop 50 yards away. Has restaurant for meals, nice lounge area for relaxing. Decent spread for breakfast. Free parking. Easy access to motorway. Bed was a bit firm, but only realised later one could request a different mattress, note for next time.

Nice comfortable stay

The check in system was down when we arrived staff were extremely apologetic and gave us a complimentary drink. The system was only down for about half hour once up and running was checked in quickly. Room was comfortable and had everything we needed area coffee etc. I found the hotel clean tidy and quiet. Staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really nice hot and fresh. It was a buffet type breakfast a good choice of food.
