Simple pub-style rooms in central Bedford, a short walk from the River Great Ouse and Bedford Castle site, with a real-ale bar downstairs.
About The Mill Hotel
Bedford Castle and the River Great Ouse are both within walking distance of The Mill Hotel, on Mill Street in the heart of the town, making it a handy base for exploring the riverside and nearby restaurants, pubs and entertainment venues. A golf course is also within reach for those wanting to fit in a round during their stay.
Rooms are kept simple and functional, with en-suite bathrooms, free WiFi and drinks available in room. The property has a 24 hour reception, so arrival times are flexible, and the bar downstairs has a relaxed, pub-like feel, known for its selection of real ales and a cosy atmosphere rather than any added frills.
It suits guests after straightforward, central accommodation rather than a polished hotel experience, with the town's restaurants and eateries close by for meals out. Mill Street puts the castle grounds and the river on the doorstep for a stroll before or after settling in at the bar.
What guests say
The Mill hotel is a lovely little pub, easy travel to and from, parking near and disabled parking also. The pub itself is busy and lively, the owners are warm and very welcoming 😀 The bathroom and toilets are up the first flight. 2 gents toilets and one ladies. While the toilets are snug. They have 2 bathrooms which are very spacious. The rooms are up a small flight of stairs. The rooms are quite nice. A sink in the room along with the tea and coffee facilities, single wardrobe, desk lamp and many plug sockets for all your power needs. Entering and exiting isn't through the pub so you can come and go as you please with no difficulties. The bed was a welcome surprise as it was very comfy. Only stayed the one night but a joy, great for the price and location. Also the pub itself is worth a drink with an eclectic taste in music, as a metalhead myself i thoroughly enjoyed it 😀 Flaws found. Room door locks but the wood is coming away from the frame. Needs patching /fixing. Radiator doesn't have a TRV so is on full all the time. Which means the window needs to be open which is very noisy as its on the centre. Luckily I sleep like the dead. But worth mentioning. Other than that. A delightful pub hotel. Did the job for the night and cost was as expected for what I got in a great location.

Reassuringly grim. If you’re looking for inspiration for your next noir comic crime novel, this is the place to stay. If you’re after a quiet nights sleep on a comfy bed with modern luxuries like WiFi and a nearby toilet/shower this is not the place for you. I’m glad places like this still exist but I was scared to pull the cord above the bed to in case it released something.

Price-for-value, this place is fantastic. Location is fantastic for a couple days (was here for business). Slept in worse hostels for more money. I at least get my own room that is clean and tidy. Props to the owners

Lovely place to stay, reminds me of the local pub, would highly recommend even if it's a short or long stay. Lovely building too nice to see something to keep it's history.
