d'Parys

Lovely visit to our regular home away from home in Bedford. Bed super comfortable as always. Staff very friendly. Breakfast is amazing as usual and they now have EV charging points.

I stayed here with a group of friends for 3 weekday nights. The bedrooms were all of a decent size and, like the whole establishment, decorated in a rustic style with mostly recycled items. Whilst my room came with most of the usual extras (tea making, bathroom toiletries etc), it had just plain floor boards with no carpet, there was no bedside table, no chair other than a stool, only one electrical socket by the bed and no clothes hangers in the wardrobe. There were extra sockets by the desk. The king sized bed was extremely comfortable. There was no separate door to the bathroom although the toilet was separated by a frosted glass screen and door. The shower in bath provided ample hot water, but there was no handrail or anti-slip mat provided. The bar and restaurant areas were very nice although some seats were over crowded with big fat cushions. Other than Friday night, the place was very quiet. Whilst the food in the restaurant was very good and value for money, the prices at the bar were extremely high (draft beer £6+ per pint). As far as I could see, the only public toilets were upstairs. There was an extensive seating area outside, some was covered. The smallish car park had a fairly tight entrance, but included 3 electrical charging points. There was street parking, free overnight but expensive during the day. The staff were polite and friendly. Whilst it’s a generally nice and interesting hotel, there are too many negatives for me to stay here again.

Friendly staff, nice room - spacious and comfortable bed, excellent breakfast, good location, competitive price. Things to consider would be limited and unsupervised parking and higher than usual noise levels due to thin walls and wooden floors everywhere.

Beautiful hotel, very unique, luxury for sure! Staff were attentive & polite. Food was delicious. A really lovely stay. 5*****. EV chargers are not type 2.

Loved the roll top bath in the room. Bar snacks were lovely and a good price.

Lovely pub with rooms. Our bedroom was in the old coach house and had a free standing bath which was lovely.

Quirky room, really comfy bed, clean, value for money, friendly staff, fab breakfast, good pub, lovely beer garden. Would definitely recommend and stay again

Wonderful location for town or bedford park. The Hotel looks amazing from the outside and the Bar area however the rooms and acees corridors need some tlc. Room 7 was a reasonable size with all the facilities you need from a hotel room, Queen sized Bed, Sink, Shower, WC, Bath, TV, hot drink facilities, wadrobe, and desk, on our arrival we noticed the use of a glass wardrobe and opaque glass for the WC wall and door, this helped ensure the natural light lit the full room the floor was original floorboards and needed some repairs, this didnt make want to anything on them. The bed was a Queen size and had an old wooden frame, however the base was actually an old divan dropped in̈ the middle of the frame, This caused there to be a large gap at the top and bottom, the bed creaked if you moved on it and the mattress was way to soft for me but i did manage to get to sleep easily. The WC was adjacent to the bed about 3ft away with a door that isnt designed to fully close. The shower was a good size and nice and clean. The bath is a large cast iorn tub positioned next to a soft seating area and with a view out the window, this was very nice and relaxing. The hotel was busy due to the event we were going to but there were plenty of tables, therefore we wer suprised to be denied food, the bar also only had 1 staff. Overall the room wasnt bad, but could have been much better. It seemed a bit dated and needs some tlc as did the communal areas, i disliked the bed, WC location.

Lovely hotel in a nice setting.Friendly check in and check out Amazing breakfast and on the whole enjoyed our stay. 3 sour points....refused a drink at 10pm despite advertising as open till 11...disturbed at 2pm,drunken guests trying doors as obviously couldnt find their room...bathroom had occasional stench,possible drainage problem.....

Overnight stay to attend a concert. Perfect pricing, lovely room and breakfast included. We did have to park on the street as on arrival there were a couple of events taking place. Experiences I think would vary depending on what else is going on and how that affects your visit. It suited us as we just needed to sleep and eat breakfast.

Unfortunately the bedroom surfaces were covered with dust. Apart from this everything else was excellent

The room was very large, of a quirky “distressed” design , comfortable four poster and two baths, plenty of hot water and warm. Some simple maintenance would be good- dead lightbulbs, broken window glass and slightly blocked sink for example. Breakfasts were very good as was breakfast service. Sunday evening meal was mediocre.

Lovely clean hotel which offers great value for money. Just booked our second stay....

Probably in need of a refurb but room was clean and comfortable, restaurant was quite nice with a reasonable menu and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Would stay again

Room no1 broken shower head, broken toilet seat , dirty walls in the bathroom. staff wasn’t helpful at all

Lovely quirky pub hotel. Room was nice, comfortable and clean. Breakfast was amazing.

Great overnight stay. Comfy bed. Clean. Friendly staff. Great breakfast

Overall a lovely 1 night stay. Sadly no hot water in the morning, so a cold shower.

Once shabby chic now verging on shabby shabby with broken fixtures and fittings. Bed comfy and clean but room and environs is showing signs of needing a makeover/spruce up as it remains as it was when it reopened in 2014.

Lovely stay and would definitely return. Only reason for 4 stars is that the shower could have done with a new or really descaled showerhead to get best pressure and the mattress could have done with changing. I would encourage houskeeping to lie on mattresses to check for scalloping every now and again :-) ! Great pub hotel though with a fantastic team. Really enjoyed and would definitely return!

I would highly recommend to stay here. I enjoyed the quirky decor and was very clean and comfortable. I was suprised to find I had a bath in my room but no shower but made a change! The room was in the attic so very hot but once I'd turned off the radiator, opened the windows and staff found me a fan it was ok.Good breakfast and would return when next in the area.

Really lovely stay, but the rooms aren't really equipped to deal with hot weather unfortunately. Only one window opened slightly and it was so hot there wasn't

Nice room not the fan provided was not powerful enough to cool it down

Apart from the toliet in a glass wardrobe absolutely great!

We have stayed twice before and were given the room with the double baths again which sadly we didn’t have time to take advantage of. The room is spacious with a big four poster bed. There was a great fan provided which helped greatly with the warm weather. Breakfast was great but there was quite a delay between ordering and receiving our food. The food was hot and delicious though.

Bathroom set up is not the best.

Great room. Bit Noise

Really nice team

Check in was good and staff were great room was great could have asked for better, evening meal and service was good. Breakfast was excellent food but staff service let in down shame as it let the overal experience down

Customer service is great. Smiling staff members like Alexandra make this place wonderful!

The lovely lady at check in was amazing. Super friendly and got us checked in very quickly. It was a concert night so the bar was busy but the guys behind it were friendly and fast. The room had a fab roll top bath and a bureau. Really different but we loved it. The lady server at breakfast was unhappy though and couldn't hide it.

we arrived to check in and we were handed a key and a fob and we were advised if we are to get back late we should use the fob to get into the hotel via the side door. We got to our room and we were surprised to find the toilet was in the corner of the room with frosted glass for privacy. The shower over the bath was in the side of the room with nothing not even a shower curtain for privacy, and the sink was an arms reach from the side of the bed. We got ready and went out for the evening and arrived back at the hotel around midnight. We got to the side door to find the fob was not working! After multiple attempts of trying different codes on the keypad trying to use the fob we couldn’t get in. We tried banging on the door to see if anybody would come to the door to let us in. Nobody came. We then tried calling the hotel only to find nobody was working in the hotel at this point and nobody was answering the phone. With the car keys in the room and no other means of getting in, after an hour outside, We ended up having to push the door as far as we could to just about get one of our hands through to reach the green button inside the hotel to release the magnetic strip at the top of the door so we could get in. However as we had all of our weight on the door so we could sneak a hand in, we ended up falling to the ground. The next morning on check out we told the staff what happened and all they said was “as long as nothing is broken that’s all that matters” Appalling service

Great place to stay in Bedford. Our room was lovely and reasonably priced. We didn’t manage to eat in the bar as we had other arrangements but the breakfast that was included in the price was fantastic. The portion was so large that neither of us could finish it all! Staff were friendly too. We will stay there on our next visit to Bedford

Fabulous staff

Really enjoyed my stay at D'Parys. Staff were lovely and helpful, chefs made us a dinner late just as kitchen was closing. Food was lovely. The rooms were super cute all contained in one room. Great location too.

As always we love our stays at D'Parys. The staff were really friendly, the food was gorgeous and the room was exquisite.

Lovely characterful property within a few steps from the market town of Bedford which offers some amazing restaurants such as: Higgins Pantry, Indiya, pizzeria's, Chinese etc.... Also Bedford has a jewel in its crown the River Ouse with the Embankment that runs by it. The De-Parys is very close to Bedford Park which is also worth a visit.

Friendly staff, nice room - spacious and comfortable bed, excellent breakfast, good location, competitive price. Things to consider would be limited and unsupervised parking and higher than usual noise levels due to thin walls and wooden floors everywhere.

Great location for Bedford Park concerts, excellent value for money and a very good breakfast in the morning.

Lovely hotel with great staff, only slight issue is the floors are incredibly thin so was woken by the sound of staff talking in the dining room beneath my room but otherwise great hotel, location and incredibly comfy bed!

Extraordinary quirky hotel with oodles of character and wonderful staff. Food was also very good and room all very independent and interesting. Oldy worldy and perfectly positioned for town and park.

Good location in Bedford town and a good breakfast, with options. For me I did not really like the open bath in the room, there was no air con, but the room has a good temperature and great view, the staff were helpful, especially the night security guard. No complaints really recommended.

Position of hotel in Bedford, comfortable room and excellent breakfast menu.

Very disappointing. Room 4 was next to public toilets so disturbed until after 11. Burger for evening meal was overcooked and expensive. At breakfast the kipper hadn't even been cooked i.e still raw and cold. Did replace but shouldn't have even happened. Not impressed at all.

Breakfast was great and freshly cooked to order.

We have stayed twice before and were given the room with the double baths again which sadly we didn’t have time to take advantage of. The room is spacious with a big four poster bed.

Breakfast was good with plant based options

Food was amazing, staff were friendly, room was comfortable and luxurious. Absolutley perfect.

An old Victorian house converted by using glass partitions in the room to create en suite and wardrobe. Bed very comfortable and warm. Food was a letdown. Service was slow and dinner quality was below par (dry fish pie and chewy duck). Serving staff universally pleasant. Could do with some refurbishment.

A very nice stay, a beautiful building with well decorated rooms (quirky but cool). High quality at a reasonable price. The staff was very helpful, and the food good, if a little bit slow on a Saturday night. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay again if we’re in the area.

Had a lovely room for my stay. Breakfast was very good. Bar food a little on the expensive side.

Our fourth stay at this lovely hotel. The room was just the right size, big comfortable bed. Pillows could have been better, they were small & flat. We didn’t realise until the morning that shower gel/shampoo were missing and the bath plug did not have a rubber seal. We had Sunday lunch and breakfast in the restaurant. All food hot and tasty.
