The closest wild stay to the UK’s new Universal resort, with a free shuttle to the gates and zero-risk opening-year pre-booking.
Universal's first European resort opens near Bedford in 2031. The plans forecast 8.5 million visitors a year and 55,000 on a peak day, while phase one includes a single 500-room hotel. We're a riverside meadow less than 9 miles* from the gates, and every stay includes a free Universal Studios shuttle, door to gates and back.
Universal has announced the resort will open in 2031 at Kempston Hardwick, south of Bedford. The exact opening date hasn't been announced yet. If it moves after you book, you can reschedule free or take a full refund.
Less than 9 miles in a straight line, roughly 12 miles by road. Our free shuttle takes you door to gates and back, so you never touch the resort car parks.
It's included with every stay. You reserve your seats when you book, we drop you at the Universal gates in the morning and bring you back to the meadow when you're done.
Then you can't lose: reschedule to the new dates free of charge, or take a 100% refund, no questions asked.
No. Park tickets aren't on sale yet from Universal, and we're an independent site, not affiliated with the resort. We'll email the list the moment official tickets go live, so join up below.
Because supply is the story: local accommodation studies are already gearing up for a shortfall when millions arrive. Our first opening-year cabins have sold out, and pre-booking locks today's price with zero risk.
