About Queens Head
Bedford is the setting for the Queens Head, a 13-room pub-hotel on Rushden Road that pairs straightforward comfort with a proper local bar. It's an adults-only property, which lends itself to a calmer stay, and free on-site parking makes arriving by car easy.
Rooms are en-suite and comfortably furnished, with drinks available in room and family rooms also on offer for those travelling in a group. Downstairs, the restaurant and bar serve dishes such as liver and bacon alongside a decent range of drinks including Madri and Bonkers Conkers, with breakfast available each morning. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Outdoor seating and a picnic area give guests somewhere to sit outside, and there's a meeting room for those combining business with the stay. Free WiFi and luggage storage cover the practical side, and pets are welcome.
The atmosphere leans quiet rather than lively, which suits guests after a restful night. Nearby there's a golf course, entertainment, and further pubs and restaurants to explore, making the Queens Head a sound base for seeing Bedford at a relaxed pace.

What guests say
Had a very average meal here, didn’t find the menu inspiring but nothing wrong with the food. Staff were great, helpful efficient and friendly. Loud dreadful music emanating from the kitchen every few minutes as the doors opened and closed. Won’t hurry back

Really friendly, comfortable and conveniently located pub/Hotel. I stayed for a couple of days, to watch the drag racing at nearby Santa Pod. Friendly and efficient staff, great breakfast and really clean room.

Google think I stayed there. We called in for dinner after I was at a cricket match at Thurleigh on a Saturday late afternoon. The service was abysmally slow in the restaurant. There were only 4 other tables in use. I had to request the taking of drinks orders, then ordering food, then ordering desserts.
