Top Bideford Hotel Reviews

The Royal Hotel

8/10 Good

"Food was exceptional. Lovely room. Was quite loud as there was a wedding going on so there was loud music for the evening that could be felt in the room."

Sailors Rest

8/10 Good

"Had an excellent stay at Sailors Rest; we had room one which is at street level so some noise was to be expected. Room itself was much larger than expected and bathroom likewise. All freshly decorated and spotless. Parking on the street is a lottery but there is a public carpark within a minutes walk. Location right on the quay and easy access to everything. We were blessed with calm sunny days so each morning the quay was a hive of activity with sailing clubs; fishing boats etc"

The Royal George

8/10 Good

"Comfortable bed. Nice room. Espresso machine in room - excellent. Blinds were a bit broken and not blackout. Single glazing which was mostly ok at this time of year but anyone or vehicle who did go past definitely disturbed our sleep. Bath towels were small, not bath sheets. Lovely friendly staff. Good vibe. Chilled. No parking which we didnt realise until we got there. Would be useful to have that flagged before travelling so you can go straight to one of the public car parks."

18th Century Cottage On Waterfront, Panoramic Sea Views, Courtyard Garden

8/10 Good

"The house was very comfortable, especially the beds. The host was easy to get hold of, we had trouble getting the downstairs television to work, I emailed her and she replied quickly. I found the stairs very steep and with the bathroom downstairs, my husband and myself slept in the single beds downstairs. We had trouble with the oven and informed Stephanie and she is looking into getting it changed. The property is very cosy and in a gorgeous location. The view from the garden is more than you could wish for. Anyone thinking of going there would not be disappointed but be aware of the steep staircase."

Many of these establishments offer traditional pub fare and a selection of local ales, and some occasionally host live music, typically acoustic acts or cover bands on weekends. It's a good spot for a laid-back evening meal and drinks by the river.

Mill Street, branching off the quay, also has a few pubs and a couple of establishments that stay open later, sometimes featuring DJ nights.
