“A huge thank you to Bedford Swan for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. The staff were outstanding—friendly, professional, and so attentive, with great communication and an incredible eye for detail. The food was absolutely delicious, the surroundings were stunning, and the bedrooms were beautiful and comfortable. A special thank you to Amie, Stuart, Mick, and Aisha—you each played such an important role in making everything perfect. We’re so grateful!” Highly recommended.

Best place to hang out for a drink on Bedford riverfront. Great outside space with settees, high tables etc and good vibes playing in the background. Drinks very reasonable prices too, especially for location

Whilst the room looked like it had been refurbished, the carpet looked awful/dirty. Also, despite requesting a room at the end of the hall as a light sleeper, I was given one next to the lift. So no attention given to requests.

Limited breakfast for coeliac (gluten-free) toast arrived after about 20 mins after we finished breakfast having asked for it as soon as we arrived. Communal areas were decorated lovely. Bedrooms were adequate enough.

Avantaje: •Locație excelentă: pe malul râului, în centrul Bedford-ului; • Arhitectură plăcută cu farmec istoric; • Cazare curată și confortabilă. Dezavantaje: • Angajații de la recepția hotelului sunt aroganți sau nepoliticoși; • Veselă murdară și detalii de igienă: pahare / căni murdare, farfurii cu urme; • Micul dejun lasă de dorit : nu este diversificat deloc, cafea slabă calitativ.

Parking was a nightmare no spaces, was a wedding and hen and baby shower so completely packed out resulting in queing to get a drink and nowhere to sit. Service was slow, room was ok very dark and not a good view. Spa was very good, breakfast wasn’t amazing overall it was a special night away and didn’t feel like we got any special treatment and we felt we wouldn’t stay here again wasn’t overly impressed.

Our stay at the Bedford Swan Hotel was an adventure in delightful quirkiness! After a few humorous attempts, the staff graciously swapped out our duvets for sheets to keep us cool on a warm evening. When our special room stays package mysteriously vanished from their system, a quick email exchange saved the day. And yes, we even managed to get ourselves accidentally checked out early, earning a seriously bemused look from the front desk. Through it all, the staff were absolute stars, making our whimsical stay a memorable one!

Lovely location, great friendly staff, great views over the river. However, beware of the rip off car park next to this pub/hotel. It is an outrageous rip off, minimum charge of £10 and no warning until you drive in! As soon as you have entered the car park and look at the notices you realise you have been had. There are cameras, so as soon as you poke your cars nose in you have to pay. Be very careful when you download yet another car parking app, because scammers have attempted to hijack the parking web site and attempt to set up a recurring monthly fee. I will never enter this car park again and I strongly urge everyone else to buoycot this car park

Mix up over the booking which eventually got sorted out. Spa is lovely with a range of hot and cold. No treatments, just a spa.
