What guests think

Across recent reviews of Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa, guests consistently praise the friendly, attentive staff, well equipped rooms, excellent breakfasts, and the attractive grounds with ample parking and handy access to Newmarket town and racecourse.

The pool and gym are widely liked, but multiple reviews highlight that the spa is separate or chargeable with limited access (for example not after checkout), and the bar and restaurant space can feel small when busy. Cleanliness is frequently praised as spotless, with occasional lapses such as stained bedding, dirty cups, or missed checks that are usually fixed when reported. Rooms are well equipped, but a recurring complaint is very soft mattresses, alongside isolated noise or temperature control issues. Best for travellers who value friendly service and on site leisure, and who are comfortable with the spa rules and occasional busy periods.

Second time we've stayed here this year. The Spa and Health club are free to hotel guests and its a really great breakfast in the morning. Having a small fridge with some free water and milk was a really nice touch. Great location to travel from in the area.

Hotel is in a lovely area, especially if you like horse racing. Don’t arrive early though as it is £30 for early check in, even if the room is available, you are not permitted to use the pool until checked in so the only option is to come back later or go to the hotel bar and wait, or pay £30. The rooms are nice, a bit dated, but bathrooms appear to have been recently renovated. Rooms have aircon which is good, and the beds are comfy. We don’t visit the spa, just the health club, the pool is warm, and whilst it has clearly had a recent paint, the floor tiles are dated and stained even though cleaned daily. Breakfast is great, not much room to get to the buffet as the tables/chairs are packed in tight, but quality of the food is great.

Pleasant enough hotel with comfy bed and shower over bath. Very apologetic about issue with housekeeping. Strange lighting remained on in ceiling all night so I was glad for my eye mask. Leisure facilities ok but you have to briefly go outside to access them.

Lovely stay, Helpful and friendly staff, good facilities and room was nice, with lovely Moulton brown products, low points were that the bar and restaurant are a bit small for the size of the hotel, it was raining so no where outside to go, so the bar was packed at 16:00 with race goers (like us), sadly nowhere for us to stand/sit to have our drink. Same for breakfast, restaurant is too small, don’t sit near the buffet if you can avoid it, otherwise people are squeezing along side your table whilst at the buffet. Service was slow at breakfast, but loads of choice on the buffet and cooked options both with lovely ingredients. They forgot our paper we’d asked for at check in sadly and couldn’t go and get one for us in the morning. Like other reviews the bed is incredibly soft.

My partner and I stayed for Easter. This was our 2nd visit. I upgraded to a Junior suite. The room itself was spacious and very clean. The shower in our room didn't have much pressure however there was also a bath in which we did use. The cost for 2 nights was £485 with breakfast. The staff are very attentive and there is a nice court yard and bar inside. The prices there was standard however there is a service charge which in hindsight we should asked to be removed. On 3 occasions when signing for our drinks bill there was other thing on it which wasnt hours, this attention detail griped me on a. little. Our meals were beautiful both nights and you must try the steak it was excellent. The reason why we booked this was for the spa and on our second day my partner called the spa to book a slot, we were told it was £70 per person for 2 hours, our mouths dropped and we said we are not paying this type of money as you would have thought the spa facilities were part of the cost of your stay and they weren't. You could use the gym. Overall our stay was lovely, but a bit of a let down with the spa and little things.

We had a very lovely stay at the Bedford Lodge, the only thing I would stipulate is the Spa it should say this is completely separate, although we spent time in the pool, steam, and sauna, would have been nice to be able to go into the spa without having to pay separately. Also, I think if you have 2 in the room and staying 2 night the toiletries should be replenished

Had a pleasant stay, unfortunately for us on arrival there were dead insects in the bath(sorted by duty manager on request) and cobwebs in other areas. They despite being pre requested to had not removed feather containing products from the room (due to allergies) therefore we had to make ourselves scarce until after 6pm when housekeeping could sort it. Unfortunately for us we were placed in suite 2 which overlooks an internal courtyard which contains the bins, rubbish, cleaning equipment. It had staff moving trolleys around in it from 0500-0000 therefore it was noisy and due to poor aircon we could not keep windows closed. Looking at location of other rooms this one was poor. The pool and jacuzzi are great as well as the steam room and sauna, shame the showers are cold and changing facilities are run down. Breakfast was great when you eventually get it as it was very busy with no tables available at times, the continental buffet was missing a few items as unavailable. No ladies downstairs toilet available as out of order and the lift was also out of use. The staff were great. Always helpful and cheerful. The bar service was prompt and reasonable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bedford Lodge. The staff were welcoming and attentive, the facilities were well equipped and what you would expect at this price point. We made use of the sports club and the bar before heading to a nearby venue for a private event. The room was well equipped with Molton Brown and Tiptree goods and was very clean. We opted for a superior room for more space and the hope of a better room location. The only negative was being woken very early by the bass thud from a morning gym class. I did raise this at checkout and received a sincere apology and money back on the room fee. Overall very happy and we would consider returning if we are ever in the area again. Tip: Ask for a room away from the gym!

The place itself is fine but the service is a disaster. Don't get me wrong, there are many staff to take your orders but the time fo drinks to arrive was unacceptable. we were sitting outside and asked for a round of drinks, 25 m inutes later we asked if the drinks are coming soon but they said it was busy inside. We went inside and there was one table with a couple of people on it and 4 staff members standing behind the bar talking but no one service our drinks. I wouldn't mind but this is the second year on the trot that this has happened. please can someone give better training to the staff here or at least take control of them.

The Lodge is lovely but awkwardly located and getting a bit worn down at the edges. The staff are polite but not all that solutions-driven. Lots of little mistakes were made (e.g., calling me by the wrong name, shutting off the key before I checked out, sliding other people’s mail under the door) and the hotel staff was very nonchalant about the incompetence. Similarly, the restaurant, though tasty, has an inflexible staff/chef.

I have stayed here many times over the past six years. I have noticed in the past six months or so that the cleanliness seems to have slipped, particularly in the bathrooms. I've also noticed that what used to be top notch customer service seems to have completely disappeared. The wifi did not work in my room and when I called reception, the woman working told me that I was wrong, and needed to wait for it to show up in my wifi list and then she hung up (it never did). When I had an issue with my key, I went to reception, after breakfast, and waited five minutes for anyone to come out. I used to love coming to Bedford Lodge, and have booked my executive team there for weeks at a time, but I think this was my last visit. There are so many options in the area, with the lack of customer service, Bedford Lodge does not seem to be a top choice anymore.
