Bedford Hotel  

We stayed overnight on our way down to Cornwall. The hotel was excellent and very conveniently located in the centre of Tavistock, with its own car park. The room was enormous and very well equipped and had obviously been recently refurbished. The cooked breakfast was very nice. The receptionist (Hayley) was extremely helpful when on arrival we discovered a nail in one of our tyres. We asked if she knew of a local tyre centre, and she phoned a local company to find out if it was open and gave us directions. In fact all the staff were very polite and friendly.

Warm welcome from the ladies in reception who even offered to carry our cases up to our top floor bedroom, when we realised, because it is a listed building, there are no lifts! Kept us fit climbing the stairs after a few days. The room was delightful with a dual aspect across to the church and the side of the hotel and we heard very little noise. The bed was extremly comfortable with fresh white sheets, plenty of pillows and silk throw and cushions. We appreciated the two tub chairs and small table making the room more like a cosy suite. Breakfast and bar food provided a good and reasonably priced choice. The location was excellent for retail therapy and frequent buses and taxis, with the mediaeval market just across the road. Prints and paintings on the wall gave a country house feel to this delightful hotel We would highly recommend the Bedford to those who enjoy a relaxed stay in the lovely town of Tavistock.

Any request was quickly provided. We did think the bath would be safer if a handrail had been part of the suite, but a safety mat was produced on request.

Very comfortable, good food, friendly staff

Fire alarm at 4 am!!

The location of the Bedford for exploring the town of Tavistock and the surrounding area was excellent. The food was of a high quality and standard as was the service especially at breakfast time. The staff acted promptly with any issues or requests and made the over all stay very enjoyable. Would certainly stay there again.

The room we had over looked the church at the front of the hotel, because of the single glazing (i presume because it is a listed building and they don't allow double glazing) the noise from the traffic out side late at night and early in the morning was a bit inconvenient and disturbed our sleep. If they were allowed to install secondary double glazing this would be a vast improvement.

Very nice staff, and food.

It looks very shabby - the chairs in my room were very worn, and I dislike sheets and blankets. I also think that eiderdowns are unhygienic. It's quite dark, and needs a freshen-up thorughout.

We really enjoyed the stay at the Bedford. A very easy place to stay and especially close to the wonderful Tavistock Wharf with all it's wonderful entertainment , rock and roll.

Delightfully old-fashioned with a very welcoming and well-mannered staff. Warm, comfortable hotel, good food and a pleasure to stay in.

TWO dogs welcome really made it for us! We were so pleased to find such a hotel. The deal that meant we could have our teenager in a double room at half the price made us feel very good too. Parking really good too and close to the rooms - great for just fetching dogs in at bedtime. Locality - easy access for early & late dog walking

Bedside lights completly useless for reading in bed.

Exellent stay . good position to explore the moors.

We joined a group of friends for a Murder Mystery Evening with dinner. The Hotel is in a good location for exploring this small market town. The rooms are comfortable to very comfortable. Our Saturday night room was a small double, comfortable and well appointed, for our second night stay, we were offered and accepted an upgrade to a four poster room, very comfortable with nice bathroom and a larger tv, convenient for a night in due to really bad weather! Breakfasts were excellent and well presented. Staff were very helpful. In all a very enjoyable two nights.

Great central location with parking. Excellent free wi-fi. Attentive staff. Lovely old historical feel to hotel.

Friendly staff, the hotel has character and appreciated it's proximity to the Moor and to Plymouth.

The absence of a lift

The staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble, even the chamber persons spoke to you. The atmosphere was one of quiet and relaxtion, plenty of places to sit and read. The breakfast room was laid out nicely and there was plenty to eat. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the bathroom a nice size. I would definitley stay there again and reccommend this hotel highly
