Rooms very large and clean, staff all helpful and smiley,after driving for some time to get there almost the first question was " would you like a... More

We stayed two nights over Easter -- lovely rooms overlooking the espanade. Staff was very friendly and breakfast delicious. Space in one of the 6 off-street Bedford spaces was a real plus. Rooms were clean, our queet was spacious, and very confortable. Lovely to fall asleep and wake to the sounds of the waves. Recommend and would stay there again.

My wife and I spent one night at the Bedford Hotel. The welcome was friendly and efficient. The room was clean and comfortable with a good view of the sea. The hotel location is excellent. The breakfast was very good. We will be very happy to stay there again.

We wished we could have stayed longer. This hotel is wonderful. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. Rooms are spotless and beautifully presented. (Ours was dual aspect with a balcony which looked out onto the bay - perfect - wake up to waves lapping on the shore!). Food is excellent. Hopefully, we will be back.

My husband and I have just returned from a great 3 night short break at the Bedford Hotel. We booked a Premier Sea View & Balcony Room which was delightful as we had double aspect windows. The cleanliness of the room & en-suite was high and we were very impressed by the hotel's response to my "special requirements" request for... More

We stayed for one night at this hotel and wished we booked for longer. The standard of the room was high as was the quality of the food. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We stayed in a Premium Sea View room, as did our friends and had the dinner bed and breakfast package. We will return without doubt.

After spending so many years staying in large, soul-less chain-owned hotels, how nice it was to stay in an hotel with some character. Comfortable and clean, a wonderful sea view from my room and a restaurant that was so good, I didn't feel motivated to sample the dining options elsewhere. The staff are warm, friendly, courteous and efficient. The a... More

Could cope with the tiny double bed and even the old fashioned shower and 'en suite' that looked as if it was the wardrobe -but would have liked some sleep. The disco was so loud we could hear every word that the DJ said from our bed! It finally finished at 12.00, followed by people shouting outside our window. The... More
