Found the hotel by accident on the web. I am very critical of hotels which charge a lot but give little back so I did not have too much to complain about at The Commodore The hotel is family run and it shows, they care about the clients. The dining room runs on well oiled wheels; the service is impeccable... More

We have stayed here before and always found it fairly comfortable. It just needs the family who run it to stand back and be critical of how they run it. We think it's superb location might make them slightly complacent. It just needs tweaking.

Got a deal otherwise I think I would say this hotel is a tad pricey. However the room was lovely with fabulous tea & coffee facilities and gorgeous views. Nice and clean. Good place for afternoon tea.

We have visited the Commodore on several occasions and have never been let down. The food is excellent no matter what you order, service is first class the waiters know exactly what they are serving, are very polite and very very efficiant. When you have finished your lovely food you can retire to the 'conservatory'..... if you can call it... More

A colleague and I were working at a site in Bideford and were recommended this hotel (there were rumours of a discount if you said where you were working!). We duly arrived at 9.20pm having had a long and tiring (but ultimately successful) day and realising belatedly that our options for eating had dwindled (the hotel restaurant only takes orders...

I have used the resturant on many ocassions, so it must be good. Relatives have stayed there time and time again, so that must be good. I have booked parties there - always successful. A fine hotel in a superb location. The staff also show the best example of local hospitality!

I stayed with a group of work colleagues as we had a meeting in Bideford the following day. Good welcome to the hotel but a bit chaotic at check in. I had room 5 which had a small balcony over looking the beach and over to Appledore which I'm sure would be lovely in summer. Unfortunately we arrived and left... More
