Staying at the Bedford Inn was a remarkable experience! The setting is truly charming with Victorian decor, creating a warm ambiance that immediately makes you feel at home. The hospitality from Paula and her team was exceptional, and I loved indulging in the gourmet breakfasts and afternoon treats. Plus, the location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach and local attractions. The only downside I noticed was the limited parking availability, which can be a challenge, especially during peak times.
