Woodland Manor Hotel & Restaurant in Bedford

Hotel is at standard but this hotel definitely has more potential in its location and ability to hold a higher rating

Went there for a speed awareness course looks like a nice hotel

I recently had my wedding at Woodland Manor and it was amazing, without a hiccup or fault! From the first moment I visited the venue at a wedding fair, the staff were very helpful and quickly able to provide a bespoke quote. Our wedding planner (then Ailish but Teri as of this year) were fantastic even in the early stages of planning, always quick to respond to queries and provide helpful suggestions. Teri has been amazing with helping me finalise details this year to help us achieve our vision. Teri was so helpful both the day before and on the day ensuring everything ran smoothly, the room was turned around on time and the cake was set up perfectly. Lots of guests commented on not only how smoothly the day ran but also how good Teri and the wider woodland manor staff were. Everyone is trained really well and so friendly and helpful! The venue is also very reasonably priced and our guests who stayed over enjoyed the rooms and breakfast. We will definitely be coming back to visit the venue for food and drink in the future!

Had afternoon tea which was really lovely.

We went to a family wedding at the hotel, the groom booked all 34 rooms for the wedding guests so we had the whole hotel to ourselves.

We had our wedding here last month. We hired exclusive so it was just our wedding party/ guests on site & also so we had all the rooms and our guests could stay if they wished, The rooms are gorgeous and well worth the money! Was the most amazing day in such a beautiful setting, everyone loved the food for our wedding breakfast! Teri was the best person we could have wished for to oversee our day, communication was fantastic, she made sure everything was spot on & we can’t thank her enough 💜 We will be back for sure!

Great for a quick coffee stop when you're travelling on the A6 north of Bedford..

We had our wedding here on 13th July 2024 and from planning up to The actual day the team was amazing They was so profession even accommodated for last minute changes highly recommend and special thanks to Tiffany From the events team for All the support and help

We held a birthday party here and it was fantastic…the food…location….staff…the beautiful rooms and grounds…couldn’t fault anything. Tiffany was outstanding at arranging everything for us, nothing was too much trouble. We would 💯 recommend for all sorts of occasions!

We used this hotel as a base for visiting my new grandson so just needed a clean bed to sleep in. We didnt use any in house facilities ie breakfast etc but we did use the bar , the drinks prices were decent which was nice. There was a wedding party on one of the nights and we were given ample notice however apart from the guests mingling outside its really all we heard. If I had to be picky it was the fact I was aware of discarded mattresses in the grounds , out side our room was one and I saw a disorganised pile from the stairs.. I'm assuming they were being changed en Mass as 2 days later they were all gone. Oh yeah guys the corridor interconnecting doors handplates are visibly grubby, need a deep clean. ( your rooms are sparkly clean, bring this to the corridors) Would I stay again.. definitely, for the price it made an ideal base.

Didn't stay the night but everything else was fantastic

Two word's...Absolutely Magnificent

The hotel is nice, unfortunately I was here on a business trip and I had almost no wifi signal in the back rooms. Breakfast classic England so average. If I show up here again next time, I would like it if the wifi signal is worked on.

We stayed at this lovely hotel for 2 nights (29 & 30 March). We were here for a wedding and couldn’t fault it. The staff were amazing, nothing too much trouble and very accommodating. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the room we had was large and comfortable. We would like to thank all the staff for making it a very enjoyable experience. We will definitely book in again if we return to the area. Well done and thank you so very much. Trevor & Fiona Burton

It seems my review has been removed. It was a positive one

We stayed in this hotel in November 2022 for one night with our 4 month old. We were part of a group who were staying after a party. Unfortunately, I woke up in the hotel bed surrounded by bed bugs. We immediately called reception and had an assistant manager come to the room who witnessed this for herself. I was sharing a bed with my baby and felt absolutely disgusted she had been in the same space as the bedbugs. Luckily, she was laying in a baby pod so was slightly raised off the surface of the mattress and pretty much all covered up including hands. Unfortunately for me I had slept in only a nightdress and majority of my body exposed. So, we were moved rooms and told we could stay in this new room for as long as needed. But I just wanted to get home. Whilst still in the original room, I took photos and videos and followed up with an email to the hotel manager the next day. This is when my bites started to show and it became clear I was bitten from head to toe, with huge red bites which subsequently became infected and needed antibiotics. In the following few days; the bites became worse as the intense itching caused such a painful infection. The hotel manager got back to me after a few days with a really unpleasant email suggesting I had bought the bedbugs into the hotel myself and that the photos of my bites were not genuine. Impossible considering I’d never seen them before and suddenly I’m in bed with them and bitten head to toe, after one night away from home. I decided to put a formal claim against this hotel for how I was treated after we left. Low and behold, their insurance carried out their necessary checks and inspections and they admitted liability. Not having followed proper procedure to ensure prevention of bedbug infestations and clearly, not thorough clean between guests. Fast forward to the present day, and I have won my claim in court. It has effected me massively and has caused anxieties for staying away from home. It makes me feel physically sick still to this day. Please be very, very cautious staying here and if you do, double, triple check your bedsheets!!
