Staff was great, breakfast was just good… no proprietor was on the premises to greet you upon arrival..I felt that made the B & B experience a little less personal.. parking was a little challenging as well. Beautiful room!!

The Inn was clean, comfortable and cozy. The room was a good size & the bathroom had a nice walk-in shower. The breakfast for both days was delicious. The staff, Ashley, was extremely friendly, helpful & knowledgeable of the Inn & area. This was such an enjoyable trip we will be doing back int he summer.

The staff I encountered were helpful and nice, but be aware that they’re mostly stationed at the sister hotel. That is also where the afternoon tea also takes place. My room was clean, but I was so overwhelmed by the smell of what I believe was Febreze, that I actually had to open the windows despite the air-conditioning being on. If you’re sensitive to these things, you may want to tell them ahead of time. The immediate Neighborhood is great, with the exception of large modern-ish apartment building that sits in front of the Inn. Hurts the ambience a bit but it’s worth it to be so close to the ocean and nearby restaurants. We parked on the street. It was very easy to find a spot and it was free.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Bedford Inn was very disappointing. The room was nothing like the photos — outdated, cramped, and uncomfortable. The “bathroom” was basically a closet, the bed uneven, the coffee machine broken, and the temperature inconsistent all night. Parking was terrible. Breakfast was also poor, with supposed to be hot food was cold, fruit that wasn’t fresh. While the room was clean, we left earlier than planned and skipped breakfast the next day. For the price, it’s simply not worth it.

The location was close to everything that I wanted to do so I just parked the car and walked the whole weekend. Paula gave us some excellent dinner recommendations and she was very helpful with a heat issue we had in the room. The breakfast was very good as well and the hotel was clean and customer service was good as well.

Very nice place. We arrived several hours early and planned to walk around town before checking in, but the owner spotted us parking on the street in front of the building and invited us to check in early. Lovely home and they can easily accommodate vegetarian/vegan requests.

Place is in a great location and very charming Breakfast was delicious and the wine and cheese and homemade cookies was such a nice touch in the afternoon. Bed was comfy, bathroom was spacious and updated and room was very clean. Decorations for Christmas were lovely. Paula runs a tight ship and keeps the place top notch.

Online photos of this B&B don't do it justice. It is beautiful and immaculate inside and out. Paula and her staff are fabulous. We will definitely stay there again! The only negative is parking. The good thing is, once you park, everything is so walkable, you don't need to move your vehicle till you are leaving for home.
