We booked this hotel for one night, as we had a friend's party near by. The hotel is stunning from the outside and is easily walkable to the whole town, although we arrived late saturday and most things were closed on sunday. The room was very nice and big, however we were close to the area a wedding party was being held so it was noisy until 1am. The room was too warm so the windows had to be left open, there was no air conditioning, a fan was provided but this was too loud to sleep with, when switched on. Unfortunately our room was also facing the front of the hotel so we were woken up by people revving their cars on the main road. The breakfast provided was very good Overall a nice hotel, however I wouldn't stay again in summer due to the noise

Great stay

This hotel and its staff were excellent. Since booking my health wasn’t so good but they accommodated us and changed our room to suit. They were helpful and professional and friendly. Efficient. A few were obviously new but polite and helpful

Lovely classic Hotel, lots of creaking floorboards, & I’m sure steeped in History. Staff were amazing, very professional & helpful. Food was good although fancied that second slice of bacon, sausage & egg at breakfast. Room was clean, comfortable. Portable A/C struggled to cool room temperature but not a major issue. I would stay again, so thank you Bedford.

Avoid ground floor rooms

Rooms on the bottom floor are the worse in the hotel. Lots of noise from rooms above and rooms at the sides. Stayed a few times and I won’t be staying again. The menu is too fancy and expensive.

Great place for a stay near Dartmoor

We recently stayed a few nights at the Bedford. Right in the centre of town, with its own car park. (Hotel guests pay £8 a day but bar & restaurant guests seem to pay nothing.) Very enjoyable. Only a short drive from Dartmoor. Two National Trust properties within reach. A few plusses and minuses, as with most places. The staff were great. Housekeeping did a great job, the waiting & kitchen staff were very helpful. The bar seemed to be busy all day, with locals having teas & coffees morning & afternoon. Not a problem for guests as there's a large separate guest lounge round the corner. Bar staff were happy to take drinks orders & deliver to the lounge. The restaurant was very good but food fairly expensive and a bit 'fussy' for our liking. Our room was warm & comfortable. Some noise from early deliveries but we needed to be up early so it probably helped! My wife found the pillows too firm but we didn't bother asking if they had alternatives. (Too tired!)
