Great place for a stay near Dartmoor

We recently stayed a few nights at the Bedford. Right in the centre of town, with its own car park. (Hotel guests pay £8 a day but bar & restaurant guests seem to pay nothing.) Very enjoyable. Only a short drive from Dartmoor. Two National Trust properties within reach. A few plusses and minuses, as with most places. The staff were great. Housekeeping did a great job, the waiting & kitchen staff were very helpful. The bar seemed to be busy all day, with locals having teas & coffees morning & afternoon. Not a problem for guests as there's a large separate guest lounge round the corner. Bar staff were happy to take drinks orders & deliver to the lounge. The restaurant was very good but food fairly expensive and a bit 'fussy' for our liking. Our room was warm & comfortable. Some noise from early deliveries but we needed to be up early so it probably helped! My wife found the pillows too firm but we didn't bother asking if they had alternatives. (Too tired!)

The room was nice, clean and spacious, however seemed rather pricey £160, compared with similar places. Felt car parking at an extra £8 for 24 hrs was quite cheeky. Breakfast was lovely, full English, various options, even kedgeree.
