What guests think

Across the reviews, Bedford Arms Hotel is portrayed as a characterful country inn in a picturesque Chenies setting, blending historic pub charm with updated spaces and creating a calm base for short breaks, business stopovers, and local visits.

Rooms are widely seen as spacious and well appointed, though a few mention external noise or mattress comfort. Food earns frequent praise for breakfasts and pub dinners, but some guests found certain dishes or breakfast variety inconsistent. Service is generally warm and professional, with occasional reports of slow pacing or unhelpful maintenance support. Expect a relaxed country-inn stay with some minor trade-offs.

Stayed here as part of a long distance cycling trip (be warned, it is up a steep hill but worth it!), bikes can be stored securely and out of sight upon request. Very comfy hotel, feels very luxurious. Delicious evening meal and breakfast, good to see lots of named UK sourcing for the ingredients. Beautiful gardens which, surprisingly, were only occupied by Tiramisu the Cat on the sunny evening we were there! Would stay here again someday.

The hotel is in a very picturesque setting in rural Chenies. We had a spacious, spotless room and a large ensuite bathroom with shower. Everything was in good condition and the sheets and towels were of excellent quality. Having a fridge was also very useful. The evening meal was tasty, though the choices were limited, as there had been problems with deliveries. The full English breakfast the next morning was plentiful and delicious. All the staff were friendly, polite and professional. We would certainly return if we were in the area again.

The afternoon food was great and the ambience good. In the evening although staff were helpful, clearly not experienced and I was not impressed with my evening meal. The accommodation was very comfortable and en suite clean. However, evidence of damp/damaged walls need attention and bedside lights failed on one side.

Hotel had just reopened after a refurbishment. The room was lovely. However, during the two night stay, we were unable to shower. Shower water was barely warm. When we reported the problem on the first morning, the ‘deputy manager’ was very unhelpful. Rude and unsympathetic. Said he would try and get a plumber and update me later. Never saw him again or heard another word from him! Unable to shower on both days we were there. Such a shame, as the hotel has been refurbished to a good standard. The hotel is part of the Youngs chain, so they will definitely be getting a letter from me.

Stunning bedroom, very comfortable. Quality products in the bathroom. Beautiful hotel but, unfortunately, when we went for an evening drink in the bar the barman seemed to be on his own & rushed off his feet. We decided to walk along the road to the Red Lion pub & had a warm welcome from the many staff.

Such a great little hotel. Had booked one night mainly to have somewhere to stay before heading to Warner Bros Studios the next day. Had booked something that looked a little nicer than the cheaper hotels. But still looking for something good value as the hotel wasn't the main point of interest. However, when we arrived we were so happily surprised. It's located in a gorgeous little village outside Watford. The building is so lovely with beautiful gardens and outdoor seating. The room has wonderful character and interior design. Spacious and so cozy with very comfortable beds. We were absolutely gobsmacked and I keep thinking about when I could potentially go there again, we had such a lovely time. Staff was wonderful and so friendly. We also had dinner and breakfast, and I believe the burger I had was one of the best I've had in a long time. The breakfast was also very delicious and well worth it. The bathroom was also really lovely and spacious. Bonus points for there being actual conditioner in the shower and not just shampoo and shower gel. Id recommend this to anyone, and I'm looking forward to having a chance to stay here again.

I stayed here before Christmas to avoid falling asleep on the motorway driving north after an overnight flight to Heathrow and it was the perfect place to break the journey. The Bedford Arms is on the edge of the tiny village of Chenies and is a warm and charming small hotel with very comfortable rooms, a good restaurant and bar. The staff were all very helpful and attentive, especially the female manager - I felt very welcome and looked after. The beautiful and ancient Chenies Manor House is within walking distance but sadly was not open to visitors the day I was there.
