Absolutely fantastic stay at the Commodore Hotel, was greeted with a very refreshing cup of tea/coffee after a long drive . Our bags were taken from us and taken to our respective rooms , also we had our bikes with us for doing the Tarka Trail , again these were also taken from us and stored inside the hotel in a safe locked room. Breakfast the next morning was excellent service was amazing, and nothing was to much trouble from all the staff. Would highly recommend a stay at the Commodore Hotel and hopefully we will return very soon.

Called for meal at 6pm on way back from Bude and had excellent restaurant meal. Fairly quiet as after school half term, but good quick service and pork and lamb meals were delicious and plates left clear. Pub/Inn very clean and tidy with good parking available. Quality takes some beating and very good value. Only downside was on the very busy approach road, no sign for pub, and existing signs on pub front need cleaning as drove past as on busy bend. There is a sign from Biddeford direction though.

Premier Inn Bideford Hotel

Whether it's tranquility or family fun you're after, you'll love our Premier Inn Bideford hotel. If you're craving a quiet weekend escape, breathe in the fresh North Devon air at the harbour, sample handmade Devonshire scones at Panniers Market or see if you can spy an otter on the River Torridge. If you're travelling with little ones in tow, head to the Big Sheep theme park, build a sandcastle together on Instow beach or borrow a bike and race along the Torridge Tarka trail. After a day of Devon adventures, treat yourself to a delicious dinner at our in-house Brewer's Fayre restaurant and then snuggle up in your bright, modern bedroom with our luxuriously comfy Hypnos bed.

Friendly and welcoming Premier Inn

We use this P.I to surf North Devon, it’s in a great location with lots of amenities on your doorstep. The rooms are standard and comfortable with great staff. The only small issue is that A/C is basically non existent but overall a good place to stay ?

We stayed in this hotel for the week of the jubilee celebrations, part of a majestic self drive package. When we arrived there was plenty of parking and the reception staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful and quickly and efficiently identified our booking and room which was dog friendly (another bonus!!). The room was nice and had recently been refurbished, there were tea and coffee making facilities in the room, also hair dryer and ironing board. The ensuite was nice with a very good walk in rain shower and mixer and plenty of towels. Breakfast was very good as was the three course dinner that was included in the evenings (you made your choice for the evening meal at breakfast), breakfast and dinner was very organised and well run with timings to accommodate all of the different groups that were staying. The hotel is full of character and charm and has a unique history, dining area and public areas were lovely including the reading room. I would like to comment and congratulate all of the staff who were so friendly and professional, Sandy and Marion in the dining room in particular, however, all of the staff were excellent, they even went of the way to light a beacon for the jubilee celebrations. The hotel is located in an ideal position to explore North Devon and just down the road from the lovely Northam burrows which links to Appledore and Westward Ho. Great place to walk the dog along the wonderful beach or on the land that surrounds the Royal north Devon Golf club links (the oldest in the country and well worth a visit to the historic club house if you're that way inclined. Overall a fantastic stay, thanks again. Great place to stay if you are a dog owner, the dog even got a welcome pack!! Will definitely visit again!!!!

Overpriced

Reviewed By finelady44

I decided to come here with my family for lunch. We found it draughty, even in the middle of the room. We ordered all together, but some food came out first, and the rest of us had to wait another 20 minutes for the rest of it. They did apologise and gave us extra chips!!!! I had ordered a ham sandwich and the meat was thick and had lots of fat on. I left most of it. There were 6 adults and 2 children and when we had finished there was alot of food left over. The chips were cold and some of the food was dry. My sandwich was £8.95. Too much. It is all over priced and most of it just come out of the freezer. I don`t think I will be back.

Had a meal here with family..... thought it was awfully quiet when arrived, after i left i knew why!!!! The so called chef and waitress were eating the food before the dinner service had even been finished, highchair was filthy, no hand soap in the toilets. food was disgusting and cold, expensive for the poor quality. Top it all off me and my two children come away with food poisoning not happy and will not recommend. A LOT COULD BE IMPROVED
