The Bedford Hotel Full Description
Our historic and atmospheric building, and our perfect location in the heart of the award-winning market town of Tavistock, create a memorable backdrop. You’re welcome to enjoy our romantic walled gardens, and maybe take a stroll down to the riverbank for some captivating photos. We are licensed for your civil ceremony, or alternatively the parish church of St Eustachius is directly across the road from The Bedford. The Catholic parish church of Tavistock is less than a mile away. We have 31 individually designed rooms, including sumptuous four-posters (and the Bridal Suite is yours with our compliments when you book a full wedding package). For something extra special, we can even arrange exclusive use for you and your guests.

A beautiful wedding
We are so pleased that we chose the Bedford for our wedding, the hotel and gardens are beautiful and very picturesque. The booking was easy and the wedding team were supportive and attentive prior to and throughout the day. The hotel ensured our day went as smoothly as possible and did everything they could to accommodate all of our needs.

Magical Winter Wedding
From start to finish Hannah and Kay were amazing. We had regular meetings with them and they always responded quickly to any requests or query’s. Hannah went above and beyond to make our day magical. The Tavistock room is amazing for an intimate winter wedding. Dylan the general manager was great on the day as were his staff. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

Simply the best day of our lives
My now husband and I had such a beautiful wedding day at the Bedford Hotel, the staff were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for us, the day went much much better than I ever could have expected it to go, there were no dramas and everything ran smoothly and on time. We had our ceremony in the Tavistock room, and wow what a set up, canapés and drinks in the beautiful setting of the walled garden and whilst that was going on they set the Tavistock room up for the wedding breakfast. When my husband and I saw the room set up we both almost cried as it was absolutely beautiful ❤️. The evening room also looked stunning. The food was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this venue. All the staff there are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Kay, Hannah and Dylan especially ❤️❤️
