Pros:

The room was beautifully decorated, with attention to detail with the matching fittings and fixtures. The bed was comfortable. It had a mini fridge in the room which was really handy. The shower was huge, meaning my 6ft4 partner could actually shower comfortably. The staff were super friendly!

Cons:

Towels were a little small, but the owner sincerely apologised about this and ensured they had new, bigger towels arriving this week.

The staff is friendly and warm. Room has excellent noise isolation we do not get much noise from the pub.

Really nice place. Shame no invoice. See screen shot below. Booking.com always send you to the hotel for an invoice.
Pros:

It was lovely and clean. Great location, friendly staff

Cons:

Not being able to get an invoice. As I stay away with work every week - this is a big downside.

Friendly staff, good location, excellent room & facilities. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Pros:

Grant and his staff were warm and welcoming and made me feel at home from the start of my stay. The room had everything you would need (the fridge & the tower cool fan were a huge plus in the hot weather) and it was exceptionally clean, a big thing for me. It is a short walk to the seafront, the evening meal available was fresh and tasty, Grant promptly sorted the only issue I had (with the wate) so I have nothing negative to say about the Bedford Inn. Thank you I will definitely make a return.
