Hotels in Little Staughton

Little Staughton is a tiny village without hotels of its own, so anyone wanting a proper bed for the night will need to look to the surrounding towns and villages. St Neots, a short drive away on the River Great Ouse, has the widest range of options, from budget chain hotels to smaller guesthouses, and its riverside setting and historic market make it a pleasant base in its own right. Bedford, the county town around ten miles off, offers a similar spread of hotels along with more choice of restaurants and evening entertainment for those who want a bit more going on after dark.

For a quieter stay closer to the actual countryside around Little Staughton, smaller villages nearby — including Kimbolton, with its handsome high street and castle, and the settlements around Grafham Water — have a scattering of bed and breakfasts and country inns with rooms, better suited to those prioritising peace and views over choice of amenities. Given how rural this stretch of the Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire border is, it's worth booking ahead rather than turning up on spec, particularly in summer when Grafham Water and St Neots both draw more visitors for their outdoor activities.

Whichever base you choose, nowhere in this area is more than a twenty-minute drive from Little Staughton itself, making it easy to combine a comfortable night's stay with days spent exploring the old airfield site, the reservoir, or the market towns nearby.
