    Friendly Staff and Great Food!

    We got married at The Bedford Hotel in October 25. From the first day we went for a viewing all the staff were so friendly. Hannah and Kay helped us every step of the way through the planning process and the day went seamlessly. As big food lovers, the wedding breakfast was incredible and we just had such a fantastic day all round.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we are thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic experience and hope that you have many memories to treasure.
    Thank you for choosing The Bedford Hotel for your special day!

    Wonderful day was had by all!

    We had a wonderful day! Having chosen the location in May 2025 to the actual ceremony everything went smootly from the our perspective. Our main contact was Kay and she was more than professional and helpful with our plans and she was able to meet us regularly. Even when we had a serious problem (my problem, not the hotel) which may have resulted in postponing the wedding, Kay and the hotel were very generous in their agreement to temporarily halt the planning until I was able to resolve the matter, when they didn't have to. I can't thank them enough for their understanding. Our guest list was restricted to family which is small so we chose the Portrait room which is bright and airy. The wedding packakge was well presented and the choice of food and drink was good as was the quality on the day and was remarked upon by many of the guests. The staff were utterly professional on the day and most helpful and friendly. They are a credit to the hotel and themselves. A special thank you to Kirsty who showed patience, especially near the end of the evening and the following morning when she kindly looked after two wedding guests who turned up the say goodbye at breakfast. Her helpfulness was evident again even she had other guest to see to. Thank you once again Kirsty.

    Perfect Day

    From start to finish, the wedding team at The Bedford Hotel looked after our every need and reassured us on any concerns we may have had. The day itself was perfect. Everything went without a hitch. We could not have asked for more. Special thank you to Hannah and Kay.

    Winter Wedding

    We had our winter wedding (package) at the Bedford hotel back in February 2024 and it was a wonderful experience. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the food was amazing. The Bedford has a positive word of mouth regarding the standards of the food and it really lived up to expectations. Kay was phenomenal at helping us and the staff were so welcoming to us and our guests.

    The Bedford Hotel's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, it was a pleasure to host your special day. We look forward to welcoming you both back to the hotel very soon.

    Our Wedding at The Bedford Hotel

    Wonderful Wedding Venue, with amazing character and charm.

    The location is set in an ancient stannary and market town in Tavistock on Dartmoor.

    The Wedding coordinator and the staff were very attentive and made our Wedding Day special with lots of happy memories.

    Our Wedding Guests loved the venue and it's unique character. We couldn't ask for more.

    Fantastic from beginning to end

    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 4 people to carry but show casing local produce which was great for family and friends who had traveled from afar.
    Kay’s communication from our first enquiry throughout the planning process and on the day its self 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.

    Fantastic location, menu and staff.

    They were fantastic at accommodating our needs from the start and very adaptable when things were going crazy close to the day. They worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best day and never had an issue with any requests. Great value for money and brilliant menus to pick from.
