Comfortable
Spacious, comfortable room in good location. I was able to charge my EV.
Very comfortable bed with clean sheets.
Bathroom clean generally but seal in shower and shower tray around the door was a bit grotty.

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.

Great hotel, Great location
I stayed overnight and met with friends so my experience was only related to the bedroom and the following mornings breakfast. Staff are incredibly friendly and very welcoming and the room was spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable. Was very tasty and well cooked and the service was prompt and delivered with a smile. Hopefully I will be back.

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.
