"Excellent all round. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Tavistock. Having been brought up in Tavistock and lived away for over 50 years, The Bedford has always been known as the posh hotel of Tavi. I never thought I would one day be able to stay in such a lovely old place, with its very reasonable charges and very welcoming atmosphere. I'm so glad we chose to stay here on our first return and further visits to family."

"A comfortable hotel with excellent staff, very good food and a pleasant well-stocked bar. The lounge facilities are comfortably appointed. My bedroom was well appointed and cleaned daily to a high standard. The hotel is situated in the centre of Tavistock, itself a pretty market town on the fringe of Dartmoor, with a daily indoor Pannier Market and a variety of individual shops."

"The Bedford was the perfect wedding venue. Kay, Kirsty, Dylan and the team could not do enough for us. Nothing was too much to ask. They went above and beyond and offered to support us in ways we could not even imagine needing. For example holding a brolly and walking with us to the church and waiting outside at the end of the ceremony to keep us dry on the way back. The food was hot and phenomenal and exactly like our wedding tasting, very impressive on such big scale. We had so many compliments about the food from our guests and it even had a mention in the guest book as the best wedding food they had ever had. The evening West Country boards were so impressive not only because they took four people to carry but showcasing local produce which was great for family and friends who had travelled from afar. Kay’s communication from our first enquiry throughout the planning process and on the day itself was so prompt which was hugely helpful and appreciated she helped our wedding dreams come to reality. We will be forever thankful to The Bedford for making our wedding day so special it really felt like a home from home during our wedding celebrations."
