Quality breakfast although I prefer a buffet breakfast. I understand that with a few guests that cooking to order is best.
Location was super and with the weather had a continental vibe

Room was exceptionally clean. Location was good although we were there to attend a friend's wedding.
Staff were exceptional - all staff an you should be very proud of their attitude, politeness, presentation and willingness to help - especially your night staff.

We need to plan a return visit - the was so much to do but other commitments meant that we only caught glimpses of what the town had to offer. We did enjoy dining at the Nazar Lounge, an original establishment where we were feted with tasty food from friendly, attentive staff. We have to go back - sooner rather than later.

Bedford is a pleasant town with deep history, but not a lot to show for it. The castle is in ruins. I was serendipitously surprised to find the John Bunyan Museum across the street from my hotel. The writer of Pilgrim's Progress, he is perhaps Bedford's most famous citizen, more even than the medieval Lords and Ladies who resided in the castle. The river walk is beautiful. I watching people sculling on the river. Many people commute from Bedford to London for work.

Bedford has a great museum & art collection at The Higgins & just around the corner is the world famous John Bunyan museum.Sadly the High Street is in decline with the recent proliferation of out of town shopping centres,but the river front Embankment,Russell Park & the site of Bedford Castle make for good walks. The town has some nice cafes & pubs & there is a market in the square on Saturdays-mainly fruit & veg & food.There are other stalls outside Boots selling clothes.On the other side of town is the larger Bedford Park,complete with Victorian bandstand & public swimming pool. Bedford has some lovely architecture & interesting old churches & pubs.
There is a new cinema on the outskirts of town.
For clothes shopping etc Rushden Lakes & Milton Keynes are a short drive away,as are many diverse pretty country village pubs for dinner. There is a large independent book shop in town which is worth a visit.

Bedfords most redeeming features are the River Great Ouse with many walks along the embankment and further, 2 large well managed parks, plenty of history. As a base there are 2 amazing aircraft museums within 30 miles, closest is The shuttlworth collection at Old Warden, a bit further is Duxford Imperial War Museum. There are many other interesting attractions only a short drive away. As well as some really good hotels where quality and service are excellent The Barns for example,

Due to the bitter cold weather it was was not the ideal place although the market was on and I got the wreathes for the church yards and cemetery so it saved me another trip to Bedford , there was a winter wonderland in Bedford park that is the first time I have ever known anything like that to be in the park.

The large parks were very well kept and made for a pleasant walk. There is quite a contrast between some areas, the waterfront area is good but some of the suburb areas are quite run down and you may wish to avoid after dark. Plenty of places to eat out.
The whole time we were there, my wife and I kept on saying how much we liked every aspect of the hotel. Thank you, and well done to the staff. We will certainly stay again if we are anywhere near Bedford.
I'll definitely be back. I visit Bedford on business frequently. This is the first time I've stayed at the Mercure, but will definitely be back. The hotel looks great.
