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. While most find the pool lovely, a few guests have mentioned that the water temperature could be warmer.

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.
