Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The beautiful garden setting, peace and excellent service, including a big pot of freshly brewed coffee, and free range eggs for breakfast make the Bedfordview most welcoming. However, the toilets barely flush, and although the linen is fresh and spotless, they do not use mattress and pillow protectors, something I would consider essential. The shower is weak and the bathroom outdated and awkward.
