Bedford Hotel — Hotel in East Devon

I recently dined at a charming restaurant situated on the seafront in Sidmouth. The ambience was delightful, with a picturesque view of the sea that added to the overall experience. The menu boasted a variety of dishes, and while the food was of a high standard, I found the portions to be disappointingly small. For those with hearty appetites, this restaurant might leave you searching for a more substantial meal elsewhere.

I opted for the chicken dish, which, while delicious, was served with only two pieces of broccoli and two incredibly thin and small carrots. The lack of substantial sides left the meal feeling incomplete, and I couldn't help but crave a more satisfying dining experience. Given the portion size, I left the restaurant still hungry and ended up seeking out a nearby chippy to fill the gap.

While the food was reasonably priced, the value for money was lacking due to the insufficient portion sizes.

We chose to dine in on our second night. Unfortunately I'm afraid this is where our experience of the hotel was dashed. The food that was served to us last night was extremely disappointing, as many elements of our meal looked and I'm afraid tasted as if they had been either tinned or pre-prepared, certainly not fresh or locally sourced as suggested. I would recommend that someone from the Pyne's family actually eat at the restaraunt and experience this first hand to see what me mean. I understand that it was our choice to eat here, but given their glowing review we just actually believed...

Lovely hotel,staff brilliant,hotel right on seafront That's the good stuff now the butts Food to spicy,breakfast was the best meal of the day and filling.(my friend and I ended up with upset tummies one eveing)would of been nice to have good old fish and chips on the Friday,as most of my trips have done that. MY single room was like a box room.shower small,doors didn't close tight,hence...(no good for a disabled person).luckily my holiday companion was only couple doors down so i used hers.It was impossible to watch the television comfortably,as to where everything was aligned. I had no side table by side of bed.but surely the hotel could of supplied a pull out little table under the desk to where the television etc was...Good point was the bus stop is just round the corner,for days out,as tad to quiet as others have said no entertainment in eveing.Ill be going again to Devon but just not at the...
