Lovely classic Hotel, lots of creaking floorboards, & I’m sure steeped in History. Staff were amazing, very professional & helpful. Food was good although fancied that second slice of bacon, sausage & egg at breakfast. Room was clean, comfortable. Portable A/C struggled to cool room temperature but not a major issue. I would stay again, so thank you Bedford.
