There is no dedicated car parking and the hotel public areas could do with an upgrade.

We enjoyed a 3 day stay at The Bedford as part of a touring holiday around Devon and Cornwall. We were welcomed by a friendly member of staff and checked into our spacious well equipped and comfortable sea view room. We enjoyed a really good bar lunch on our arrival and had 1 evening dinner in the restaurant during our stay which was well presented and delicious. The breakfast choice was really good, freshly cooked and set us up for the days touring the surrounding area.

The hotel offers parking but it turns out to be about 3 spaces down a vey narrow road. On road parking was very limited and the car park next to the hotel was £14 a day. It would have been nice if the hotel could have negotiaited a discount ofr residents

Breakfast and Dinner excellent, Staff were brilliant too. The room was comfortable enough.

Difficult to find things we didn't like. The bar downstairs had all cocktail components but were not able to mix the cocktails, the dinner in the hotel was not extremely inspiring, there's no safe dedicated parking on site, but it's all very small things.

Brilliant small hotel. Amazing location, nice downstairs bar. The staff was absolutely amazing, very friendly and welcoming. We were looking for a dog-friendly place and this definitely exceeded our expectations. Very, very enjoyable break.

No parking but big car park opposite. No parking at any seafront hotel in Sidmouth .

Perfect location, sea views staff so friendly and nothing too much.

On arrival we were allocated a table and told this would be 'our' table for all meals. However on more than one occasion we found our table being used by other guests. one night we went to the theatre and when we got back about 10.45 we found the hotel in Darkness and the front door locked. Another guest also joined us and we were looking for a bell. after 5 minuets or so a member of staff came passed and she told us we could get in through the side door using our bedroom key. They should make this information available to all guest.

Nice size bedroom. Breakfast was very good. Evening meal were generally good, though unsure about the lamb chops (as were others we spoke to)

Parking is an issue particularly for those with disabilities. The hotel has 4 spaces so it’s virtually impossible to find a spot There is a public car park across the road. It costs £14 for 24 hours but if you go out it’s often impossible to get back in until much later in the day

Lovely room with comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast. Great location

The hotel generally felt a little bit dated and aimed at the older customer, but dated by design rather than run down.

The location on Sidmouth seafront was fantastic, with everything you need nearby. My room was also a very decent size, and nice and clean. Sidmouth itself is a lovely place to stay as a place on the South West Coast path, and is easily accessible by bus from several different locations including Honiton train station.

Car parking was very limited at the hotel, I should imagine this was the case with most of the hotels in the immediate area. It does mean extra cost to use public car parks, which all adds up especially when visiting other places in the day.

The room was ideal for us, there was a lift which was handy. Breakfast and evening meals were very good. The hotel position was great, close to the sea and the town.

Could not use hair dryer because no plug socket by mirror and no mirror by plug sockets.Had to move bedside table from single bed to other side of our double bed which was next to table with tea on etc.We moved it back before we left. When we came down for breakfast one morning it was busy so when we eventually got our cooked breakfast it was cold.Perhaps the times for breakfast could be extended to 10am .

The room was very big and decoration was excellent bathroom well designed.Plenty of space for clothes etc.Housekeeping very good
