Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa is a 17th-century Georgian house built originally as a hunting lodge for the sixth Duke of Bedford. Set back from the road, the impressive entrance draws you around the sweeping driveway past the perfectly manicured lawns to the elegant white stucco building entrance. The hotel provides the perfect blend between old and new, retaining the charm and character of a country house but with the modern luxury and comfort of an exquisite boutique hotel.
Set in three acres of perfectly manicured gardens, the hotel has established rose gardens and a wisteria-clad, ivory-pillared walkway to The Spa. The Classics Suite Garden is a formal garden that can be exclusive to you. This space allows your guests the freedom to relax during the day in quiet surroundings.
Celebrate in style
For ceremonies, you will have a choice of spaces. The Classics Suite is an elegant and sophisticated room that can seat up to 150 of your loved ones, and the Derby Room (created when the Classics Suite is reduced in size) offers a smaller space for up to 80 of your guests. The Cambridge Room, ideal for more intimate weddings, hosts 20, and the Classics Garden, a beautifully secluded formal garden, boasts a mix of mature trees and shrubs, giving the space a very timeless feel.
Post-vows, The Classics Suite, boasting crystal chandeliers, natural tones and an opulent feel, seats up to 150 of your friends and family for a sit-down meal. Similar in style, the Derby Room can seat up to 80 for a formal dining experience. The Cambridge and Bury Rooms, seating 20 and 12, respectively, can be offered separately or together for a smaller wedding. Both rooms together form an L-shaped layout and offer a warm and stylish elegance to the day.
