The Bedford Lodge Hotel in Newmarket is chic and contemporary but with an irresistible country charm that elevates it to being a refined experience. The rooms are elegant and stylish, fitted out with all the luxuries and comforts you come to expect from a 4 star hotel. A day at the races might seem perfect for many, but those with more sedate ideas of pleasure will find even a stroll into the excellent Orangery Restaurant for lunch or dinner to be pleasant and fulfilling.

The 2 AA rosette winning restaurant uses only the freshest, seasonal ingredients on their imaginative menus, and has won the hearts of many guests and visitors with their perfect execution. Amongst starters, there could be a tian of Cromer crab, creamed guacamole and red pepper essence followed by a main course of loin of venison, braised red cabbage, caramelised cauliflower, juniper and bay leaf jus, finally ending with a Valrhona dark and white chocolate fondant. The wine list is excellent and offers some splendid choices.
