We had the most beautiful, perfect wedding at Bellows Mill in July 2018. The whole process (booking the venue, planning the day, final details on the day) has been a delight. We were made to feel so welcome and nothing was too much effort. We really appreciated the flexibility of the venue, which we did not find anywhere else.
Our guests who stayed over loved the accomodation, as did we we; the Kingfisher suite added an extra special touch to our stay.
We were aiming for a relaxed wedding and that was really facilitated by the setting and the approach of everyone that works there. They go over and above to make your day extra special.
The venue itself is beautiful and idyllic. So many of our guests commented that the setting was perfect. We just want to do it all over again, and will definitely be back to celebrate wedding anniversaries there in the future.
Thank you all so much!

Good facilities, nice setting and well looked after, but the trout fishing can be annoyingly inconsistent. Nice tench and big perch in the coarse lake, plus a few pike for sporting interest. Bream and carp free, so nice clear water. Please LIKE if you found this review helpful, thank-you.

Wonderful, cosy location for my son's socially-distanced wedding reception. The team at Bellows Mill were simply superb and the reception was excellent. Such a beautiful location, the grounds are lovely, especially the lake.

One of the best and most relaxed breaks of my life here in the UK. So peaceful, the atmosphere, the nature, the animals, the people who work and live there, everything was absolutely wonderful. A place you could easily become addicted to! 😍 10/10

Bellows Mill is a little marvel of tranquillity and quaintness in the countryside, but not far away from some big towns that you may need to visit (Luton, Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard etc). The rooms are all individual - now laid out for self catering, rather than B&B, but that's great for having breakfast in your room, or on your patio maybe. It's also ideal for longer stays. The grounds are so beautiful that it's also a wedding venue. Ample parking for a big event, but just a few rooms for a small and cosy feel. Highly recommended for a weekend, week or longer.

My husband and I got married at Bellows Mill on 11.06.22 and we cannot recommend the venue enough! So many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was. It has everything you need from the beautiful barn to the picturesque grounds and the lovely accommodation.
Elaine was fantastic, we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding co-ordinator. She is totally unflappable! She took the time to get to know us as a couple. We even had the pleasure of visiting Elaine and Paul’s lovely home where they cooked us dinner and we sampled many a cocktail (all in aid of deciding on our personal bride and groom signature cocktails).
We had numerous meetings in the build up to the wedding and it really helped us plan on how we could best use the space. One of the best things about Bellows Mill is the flexibility you get, it’s such a versatile space and you can really make it your own. So many venues nowadays have you in and out of the door in matter of hours but at Bellows you get the whole weekend, giving you time to set up and relax with your friends the night before, you also have ample time to pack up the day after (Elaine and her team helped us massively with this, packing up decor to save us time).
The heritage bar, run by Paul, was absolutely perfect. Not only did it look amazing but the drinks were delicious!
The day went smoothly and I knew Elaine was on top of everything. We both had so much fun, from bridesmaids vs groomsmen beer pong to an impromptu limbo competition on the dance floor. The day was filled with so much joy. It was absolutely perfect - thanks, in large part, to the team at Bellows Mill.
We honestly can’t thank Elaine, Paul, Rachael, and the rest of the team enough. It was truly the best possible venue for our wedding and we will 100% be visiting to stay for a night or two in future!
Thank you all so much. Vicky & Sam

Bellows Mill is one of Bedfordshire's hidden gems that dates back hundreds of years. I spent 10 days there and enjoyed every minute.
The resort itself is absolutely beautiful; from the manicured lawns, the stunning lake with pontoon and acres of parkland, home to Wilfred the friendly wild boar.
The lodges are fully designed and very comfortable. Unlike many self-catering resorts I've stayed in, basic cleaning products and materials are supplied.
But, best of all was the welcome and care received from the owners/hosts, Rachael and Henry, and the staff, Shelley, Jay and Paula. All were so welcoming and friendly, and went above and beyond to make my stay special and one that I'll never forget.

What a very beautiful space to breathe. The hosts are welcoming and friendly. And Wilfred the pig is the star. He's adorable. The chalet we stayed in had everything you could need. It was incredibly clean, comfy and warm.
Our guests who stayed over loved the accomodation, as did we we; the Kingfisher suite added an extra special touch to our stay.
