Brilliant stay, I'll definitely be back regularly! Everything was great. I'm a female solo business traveller and this literally ticks every box - clean and well-appointed spacious room, plenty of sockets for chargers, hair dryer etc, comfortable bed, plenty of parking close to the hotel, very friendly and helpful staff, great bathroom, walk in shower instead of climbing over the bath and good storage for luggage and clothes. Someone has thought of literally everything which isn't always apparent in other hotels. Also very quiet with lovely surroundings. And the window opens! Honestly quite blown away by my stay and wish I'd come here sooner!

Stayed at the Willows Training Centre. Plenty of free parking. The room was adequate albeit no air conditioning in the room which was a shame but not insurmountable - took own fan in addition to the one supplied. As a keen photographer although all the gear, no idea, the lake area was superb. Traffic was dire due to road closures so getting in to Bedford took longer than expected but found another acceptable route. All-in-all I'll be back 👍

Room was clean, it was one of the smaller ones, they have very small doubles, so be warned if you like spreading out as a couple. Staff always freindly. Love the free coffee and sparkiling water in the reception area and the coffee bags in the room. Makes a big difference. Food not so good this time around.
