I fully endorse MDC Essex's review. The Elms is slightly old-fashioned, but really comfortable, and clearly reflects the personalities of its gentle, unassuming hosts. Our room was enormous, and the beds were really comfortable. This is not the sort of place with power-showers and fussy cushions - but it is just so easy-going and straightforward.

A traditional B&B in central Bedford. Clean, tidy, warm, friendly & helpful service, very good breakfast, and very reasonable rates. Parking on the road might be an issue, as it is pay and display until 6pm, so I'd suggest not arriving too early. I'd recommend The Elms without hesitation.

We stayed here in September for 2 nights and thought it was very comfortable and very well run. It's also in a lovely street quite close to restaurants and shops.The room was a good size for three adults, and everything seemed clean and tidy.

Mervyn and Margaret made us very welcome, they were helpful and we got the feeling that if it was possible they would help. The room was clean and the breakfast was most excellent, we will miss it. It was a cold time of year and the room was always nice and warm. We would not hesitate to stay with Mervyn... More

A real value for money without having to compromise on the quality. Lovely place in a beautiful street, very short walk from town centre so no need for the use of car or public transport-great! Well worth recommendation :)
