    Room was bright, very clean, spacious and comfortable. Dinning room was well laid out and spacious, staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast menu was excellent everything cooked to order and delicious. We hadn't booked evening meal but had meal on arrival evening. Never looked back, ate there every night after that. The choices were excellent and changed every day. Service and presentation 5 star.

    We only stayed for the one night but we could have stayed for weeks, the staff were all polite and willing to help despite being very busy, more than ample parking, rooms were pleasant and comfortable and the bar / dinning area was relaxing on the evening.

    Friendly, helpful staff . Very accommodating., I had a phone call to say that they could provide me with an early dinner and cook something different to allow for my food allergies. I was so grateful. When travelling it’s often difficult to get a safe gf meal. Old , creaky but lovely hotel. Very clean , decor beautiful. Bathroom perfect, no dodgy silicone, or dirty corner, often found in old hotels. This didn’t have anything like that! Also ideally situated, within easy walking distance to town centre and beach.I’d go back!

    I always enjoy my stay at the Bedford. The location of the hotel is very convenient, and the room I usually have with the large balcony is perfect for me as a solo traveller. The staff are so nice and always friendly and helpful. I don't usually eat in (except for breakfast) but this time I had lunch and dinner there as well and all the food was delicious.

    The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was excellent. Everything kid of food was provided and the quality was very good. Dinner was also good quality. The room was clean, everything was working and you had all you needed. There was plenty of parking and in proper spaces, not squashed. The location was excellent, as right on the seafront with the small town behind.
