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

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

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.

The room was nice, clean and spacious, however seemed rather pricey £160, compared with similar places. Felt car parking at an extra £8 for 24 hrs was quite cheeky. Breakfast was lovely, full English, various options, even kedgeree.

The Bedford Hotel was a charming hotel, full of character and warm, welcoming staff. My only concern was hearing the floors creaking in the room above ours when the guests came in and I was trying to get to sleep - and although they turned out to be quiet, if they were less so, it might have become irritating if they had not been.

Lovely staff but over priced

It looks a lovely hotel with lots of history. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel was clean. I understand this is a old hotel but it was a very small room and looking tired. The breakfast was of average standard. The rating I have given is reflected by the price which at £149 for 1 night is over priced for what I feel was not worth the money.

A lovely and relaxing place to spend some time. Only thingI’d change would be a more effective fan, as the rooms upstairs are a bit too hot for my liking. Otherwise I’d recommend heartily!

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.
