Some pub stays are all about escaping to the countryside. At The Kingfisher, you get that sense of escape without leaving Bedford far behind. Sitting on the banks of the River Great Ouse, this riverside pub combines waterside views, spacious grounds and plenty of character. There are 49 en-suite bedrooms, ranging from comfortable doubles and kings to three distinctive suites tucked into the historic part of the building. When the sun is shining, The Jetty is hard to resist – a relaxed waterside spot for drinks, something to eat and watching the Great Ouse drift by. Bedford is only a short drive away, while riverside walks, Priory Country Park and the wider Bedfordshire countryside are all close at hand.
