Located in a quiet Bedfordshire village, the Sharnbrook Hotel offers a restaurant serving traditional Italian and British cuisine, and spacious rooms decorated with imported Italian furnishings and fabrics.

Rooms combine beautiful furnishings with modern amenities including free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV. Rooms have comfortable seating areas and tiled bathrooms with hairdryers and free toiletries.

The open-plan restaurant has large, classic Italian black and white photographs decorating the walls. Offering coffee, light lunches and a dinner menu, the restaurant has a live Italian singer the first Friday of each month.

Guests can relax on the terrace, or on the outside seating areas, which both have lovely countryside views.

Guests can take a walk or fish on The River Great Ouse, which is a 15-minute walk away. Bedford is a 15-minute drive away and free parking is available at the Sharnbrook.
