Stayed here last night. Much nicer than I was expecting. A modern, clean room and bathroom. With shower gel, hand wash, bottles of water and tea and coffee making facilities. Very pleasant sitting in courtyard with a drink and meal last night too. Only very small negative was the 3 steps down from bathroom which couldn't be seen in the dark. If you stay in room 103 take care. Friendly staff, would definitely stay again if visiting nearby.
Only a one night stay (Monday night) but it was great. The room was clean and tidy and the bathroom was very lovely. I only had a quick drink before going to the room but the bar seemed nice. Not overly busy when I got there (about 3-3:30 pm) and if it got busy at night it certainly didn't disturb me as I heard nothing upstairs! I would stay again.
Always have a nice experience when visiting this weather spoons. Service is fast and I mean fast like drinks in under 5mins when using the app from the table and food usually in under 20 from point of ordering sometimes as fast as 10mins at quieter times. Staff are always friendly and helpful. In the winter they have an open fireplace going, adding to the good vibes. It's somewhere you can easily take the family for a meal or the partner for a quiet drink.
Absolutely amazing service, wonderful friendly staff who could not do enough for you. The rooms were clean and spacious with everything you needed.
Good spoons pretty huge on the inside only thing is they take a while to deliver drinks to tables
Pleasant and hard working staff. Excellent rooms with loads of space and nice bathroom. Floor was a bit squeaky but it’s a very old building. Our room overlooked the main high street and was a bit noisy during the day but ok if you didn’t a lie in. We had a good stay.
Me and my wife stayed here whilist visiting family, we had the loft room, which was very spacious and cosy! Beds are super comfy. The entire team was so friendly and welcoming. The guy he seemed like he was the manager was very professional and polite and helped us with a couple of enquiries!
Very nice for a sip over. Rooms very large and well appointed and staff very helpful and friendly. Lovely food and breakfast was yum and very well priced
The Crown Hotel in Biggleswade is one of the best JD Wetherspoon venues I’ve visited. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are consistently friendly and efficient, and the service is quick even during busy periods. The food arrived hot, well-presented, and great value for money—as you’d expect from a good ’Spoons, but this location really stands out. Plenty of seating, clean tables, and a relaxed vibe make it an ideal spot for anything from a casual drink to a proper meal. Absolutely deserves five stars.
Stayed overnight and the room was very nice. I've paid far more to stay in worse rooms. Fully air conditioned and a fantastic, powerful, walk in shower. The pub itself is nice as weatherspoons go. Only slight gripe was one or two (not all) of the bar staff were a little "off their game" but all in all would recommend for an overnight stay.
