Having found The K&C on the net, I received a speedy and friendly email response to my queries. This has to be one of the friendliest establishments anywhere in the UK. A snuggy pub, lovely restaurant and incredibly helpful staff (I took my dog). Yes, the rooms are dated but are clean and have everything one needs for a night/s... more

The food was good, the staff were friendly and efficient but the room was so tired, the decor was classic eighties, but clean and tidy. The bathroom was also very dated, marble effect formica walls! However it was the mattress that was really below standard nevermind delux. We could feel every spring. It is up there in the 10 most... more

I am sorry to say that the Knife and Cleaver did not match up to our expectations which were based on other reviews and the Hotel website. We had intended to have dinner at the hotel but circumstances changed and we ate elsewhere. As it happened, this was no bad thing as when we arrived at just before 9.00pm the... more

Only stayed for a meal and one night. Very helpful and friendly staff. Restaurant and gardens really pretty. Unusual things on menu the starters were exceptional although mains were less good only in comparision. Accomodation clean set in very pretty well maintained gardens. One of the nicest places I have stayed for some time. Would go out of our way... more

Having been told about Trip Advisor by a friend I decided to put it to the test. I looked for somewhere to stay in Bedford and The Knife & Cleaver came up high on the list. £65.00 is at the top end of my budget for single occupancy and when I arrived I was very disappointed with the standard of... more

Stayed for 1 night on our way to Luton airport. The bar was very good & we would have liked to have had enough time for a meal in the resteraunt. The rooms though were not as good as I expected and the bed was very uncomfortable, even though we had booked a deluxe room. Also the breakfast was as... more

What can I say about this oasis of peace. I found myself booking this accomodation from a picture but for once the picture does not do it justice hence my many photos from my stay, my room no. 8 was pure luxury, a little detached bungalow looking onto a fabulous garden in full bloom and the smells from this famous... more

We are a group of cyclists, & booked for 2 nights. The ground floor rooms were very new & clean, though a little dark. Outside, we had a lovely patio & garden to relax in. We ate in one night, & were glad we did, for the food was excellent, even though w chose from the bar menu. Lots of... more

I stayed for 1 night in June '07, in a standard room for £59 b&b. The room was fine in itself, a little dated but fair value. It suffered from being adjacent to a high hedge at the rear, meaning it had little natural daylight. It felt a little gloomy and stuffy (in part due to the awfully humid weather).... more
