“Pros: Great location if you’re visiting / doing business in Ampthill. Great food and drinks downstairs. The staff were always friendly, helpful and welcoming.
Cons: no on premise parking. Closest parking is a municipal lot…10 pounds for 24 hours. When I checked in my room was made up as 2 singles instead of a double as requested. Beds were a tad small & uncomfortable. Walls are thin, I could hear my neighbors “chatting” until midnight the night before I was planning on checking out.
Otherwise……
“The room and view facilities were fantastic. The bar and restaurant downstairs were busy, but the accommodation upstairs was quiet. The Polish lad (I think) who works there was really friendly, helpful, and quirky. The only two slight issues were that the parking was a bit of a trip but not a deal breaker (£10 per p/night) and that there was a group staying in the room next door who must have been chain-smoking as it stank out the corridor, etc. Other than that, the stay was top class and I will……
“Friendly staff in this hotel, food excellent and varied.
Lovely big bedroom, comfy beds with vintage furniture, bathroom could do with a bit of a makeover. Superb view looking over the river with the swans and ducks.
No lift in the hotel so I did struggle with the stairs.”
“The rooms were small and spotless but more than adequate. Quirky link to the tv able to be heard in the bathroom.
Breakfast was very tasty.
Would love to stay again.”
“The staff were very welcoming. The room was amazing. The breakfast choices were varied. My wife had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toast and i had the big full english, both of which were cooked to perfection and extremely tasty. We highly recommend you stay here if you get the chance.”
“This rustic hotel room was just what I needed for a relaxing stay. It had a warm, cozy feel with wooden furniture and soft lighting. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the bed was great for a good night’s sleep.
The vibe was super chilled—quiet, peaceful, and perfect for getting away from the noise.
If you’re looking to unwind in a calm, rustic setting, this place is perfect.”
“Excellent value in what is a really expensive part of the UK to stay. Friendly and helpful, a really nice breakfast and safe, free off road parking. ”
