This is a comfortable, old-style hotel, with superb staff. There may be a few creaky floorboards but the overall impression is of a well-run hotel with courteous, friendly and efficient staff who will go the extra mile to help. We had come from Kent for a couple of days to be on the spot for the 90th birthday party of... More

This Hotel looks like a charming old palace from the outside and from the inside. I walked in on a Sunday afternoon and asked if they had a single room for one night. They did. Not only did they have a room, but they even gave it to me for 45 instead of 70 pounds Sterling, which I accepted, even... More

Eleven friends stayed at the Bedford hotel for two nights, dinner B & B. The hotel has ample space downstairs for guests to sit comfortably and chat. Our first night's dinner was in the private 'Tavistock' room, which had been attractively arranged. On the second night we dined at the sister hotel at "Two Bridges". Both meals were excellent and...

We arrived on a Friday evening after work as we only live about 30 mins away. Plenty of free parking and a lovely old charming hotel in a great setting. After being checked in by the friendly chap on reception we made our way to our room. No 34 was at the front of the hotel overlooking the church with... More

Attended and stayed for family wedding all held at the hotel. Whole experience was good. Food was very good. Staff (all of them)were very pleasant. Town has a lot of history and a very good market and I am sure a lot more places of interest than we could see over a weekend.

The hotel is very tired and in desperate need of refurbishing. Such a shame as it is in the best position in Tavistock with good parking. Staff were mostly pleasant ( not all ) but the breakfast was poor. Does any other hotel serve tinned fruit today ? Scrambled eggs lumpy, this is basic cooking. This hotel needs sorting out... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in April 2013 and felt the hotel was overpriced for what we received. The room was pleasant enough, with a four-poster bed and looked like it had been recently redecorated. But at £140 a night it did not have that luxury feel we were expecting. This was especially true with the bathroom, which looked... More

A lovely old-fashioned hotel, with top-rate service, in the heart of Tavistock, and within Dartmoor National Park Rooms comfortable and cosy, plenty of hot water for the shower Very dog-friendly, my friends took theirs, and he was provided with a dog-bowl, bag of treats and a toy- very impressive!

We stayed two nightson the occasion of our wedding anniversary, and on our arrival were up-graded by the receptionist, Robynne, to a large room with a four poster bed. The room was very clean, only minor criticism was that the sealant around the bath needed cleaning/renewing. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for... More

This would have been a 5* review except for a couple of small niggles, the room was very small and as you enter there is a bathroom door on the left, followed as you continue into the main room by a single step which I was not warned about and fell down it. Personally I thought the wardrobe door was... More
