Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa is often praised for its great location, within walking distance of Newmarket and ideal for seeing the horses. The spacious rooms, some offering Elemis or Molton Brown toiletries, add to the experience, and the breakfast is frequently described as fabulous, with freshly cooked options.

The breakfast impressed me. Staff were very friendly. The gardens and flowers looked picturesque and cute upon arrival. Rooms were great and perfectly clean.

I found the lack of veggie options at dinner was a concern. I found it difficult to have a good variety of choices during the evening meal. It should be addressed.

The Sunday roast was amazing with large portions and all necessary sides included. I did not have to pay extra for anything unnecessary. Desserts were also delicious, and the staff were attentive. I found the spa and gym facilities very nice. They were clean and supervised.

The veggie options at the restaurant were limited.
