On the whole, well done to the Bedford hotel. I'm quite tall and wide, so the small shower cubicle was very snug! Apart from that a good stay.

Okay for one night
Ground floor room was close to car park which did cause some noise which disturbed us night and morning The room was very small with only a walking edge around the bed We have stayed here many time and there are nicer rooms available so I suggest you book direct with hotel

Loved the hotel, its facilities and the staff. Didn’t like having to pay £8 to park when anyone using the bar or restaurant could park for free. It felt like a rip off. Didn’t like the rubbish WiFi. The breakfast was okay but nothing special. Ive had a lot better for a lot less money.

The hotel was fabulous and I love Tavistock. We were a little disappointed with our room - it was tiny and you couldn't look out of the windows as the glass was obscured. We definitely didn't expect that but I imagine it was because we booked theough an agency.

I night in Tavy.
Driven past this hotel countless times & always thought that it looked like a lovely, well presented building. Thankfully thanks to Hotels.com I eventually stayed there last night & it didn’t disappoint. Everything was pretty much what I expected , couldn’t really fault it, except maybe for the £8.00 daily parking charge, I personally don’t think that residents should be charged this.

Lovely historic Hotel
Really enjoyed our stay at the Bedford Hotel, we stayed in the past and liked its old world charm, so decided to return, rooms are tastefully decorated, only one little gripe, if you book through Hotels.com you have to pay £8 to park but if you book direct with the hotel its waived.

Had a lovely stay at the Bedford Hotel. Room was well presented and clean. The staff were very friendly (Zoe on the front desk was very chatty and knowledgeable). Tasty breakfast and a nice late time to check out by. I was able to park my car in their car park and see my car from the room. Thank you for a great stay!
