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.
