Bideford: Your Gateway to the Tarka Trail and Torridge Tides

Bideford, a port town nestled on the River Torridge in North Devon, offers a glimpse into maritime history and local culture. Its long, ancient bridge, a notable feature with its 24 arches, connects the old town to the East-the-Water area, bearing witness to centuries of trade and daily life. The town's quay remains central, still hosting vessels and providing a focal point for strolls and views across the estuary.

Historically significant for its connections to Elizabethan exploration and transatlantic trade, Bideford's narrow, winding streets reveal independent shops, traditional pubs, and eateries. Visitors often explore the Burton at Bideford, a gallery and museum offering insights into the region's art and heritage. A short ferry trip across the Torridge can also lead to Lundy Island, a wildlife sanctuary known for its undisturbed natural environment.

Where to book your hotel in Bideford

Most visitors tend to book their accommodation close to the Quayside area in Bideford, as it offers a convenient base for exploring the town on foot and enjoying the riverside atmosphere.

Along the Quayside, you’ll find a mix of smaller guesthouses and bed and breakfasts, often housed in traditional buildings. This area provides easy access to local eateries like The Italian Kitchen and The Pier House, as well as independent shops. The historic Bideford Bridge is a prominent feature here, connecting the two parts of the town. For a touch of local culture, the Burton at Bideford art gallery and museum is just a short stroll away.

Venturing slightly away from the immediate riverfront, into areas such as Old Town or towards Northam, you might discover larger, more established hotels or self-catering apartments. Old Town retains much of Bideford’s heritage, with narrow streets and older architecture. While perhaps a little quieter than the Quayside, these areas still offer good access to local amenities and attractions.

Bideford itself doesn't have a train station, but regular bus services connect the town to larger transport hubs. For those flying in, Exeter Airport (EXT) is the closest major airport, roughly an hour's drive away. Bristol Airport (BRS) is another option, albeit a longer journey. Planning your hotel booking with these connections in mind is advisable, as local taxi services or pre-booked transfers will be necessary for reaching your accommodation from the airports or nearby train stations like Barnstaple.

Find the best hotel deals in Bideford

To secure better rates on accommodation in Bideford, consider booking outside the busiest periods. The high season typically runs from July to August, coinciding with the main summer holidays and when the Bideford Regatta takes place, which naturally drives up demand and prices. The Easter holidays and half-term breaks also see an increase in visitors. If your travel dates are flexible, aim for the shoulder months of May, June, or September, when the weather is still pleasant but fewer people are visiting, or even the quieter months from November to March.

Additionally, keep an eye out for special events like the Bideford New Year’s Eve celebrations. While these are popular, booking well in advance can sometimes mitigate price hikes. For the best value, consider staying slightly further afield in nearby villages or towns like Northam or Instow, which are just a short drive or bus journey away, as their hotels might offer lower prices during peak times compared to properties directly within Bideford town centre.
