The parish church of St Eustatius is just across the road, as is the bustling square and Pannier Market which mark the heart of this historic market town. The pretty front garden is a delight at any time of year, particularly during the spring and summer months when it shows off the skills of the hotel’s gardeners. One of the hotel’s best-kept secrets is its ancient walled garden (often referred to as The Secret Garden) which has a manicured lawn, formal borders and a herb garden used by the hotel’s chefs. Traditional, historic and utterly charming, the warm and welcoming public areas are packed with original features and antiques. There are 31 individually styled bedrooms and suites, from comfortable classic rooms to indulgent four-poster rooms and the spacious Bridal Suite. Ceremonies take place in the historic wood-panelled Woburn room, seating up to 90 guests. The hotel’s Gallery 26 function suite is a bright, contemporary space at the heart of the hotel where receptions are held. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with natural daylight plus there’s also atmospheric lighting, a dancefloor, air conditioning and underfloor heating. Although the room is contemporary in style, the historic features of the hotel are cleverly revealed in the design of the room, giving it a unique character and style. Exclusive-use weddings are a popular option at The Bedford. The hotel is exclusively for the couple and their guests for the duration of the celebration including all 31 bedrooms to accommodate guests. https://bedford-hotel.co.uk www.instagram.com/bedford_hotel_tavistock www.facebook.com/thebedfordhotel www.rabbithousestudiophotography.com https://louise-eleanor.com 16
