Bedford House Tenby – Three Stunning New Apartments in a Beautifully Restored Historic Building

Every so often, a new property comes to Puffin Cottage Holidays that has a little bit more of a story to tell – and Bedford House in Tenby is certainly one of them.

Set within a magnificent listed period building, just outside Tenby’s historic town walls, an extensive renovation has transformed Bedford House into three completely individual holiday apartments – each combining the character and craftsmanship of the original building with bold contemporary design and modern comfort.

A huge amount of work has gone into bringing this beautiful building back to life. Rather than losing its history in the process, the renovation has embraced it. Soaring ceilings, impressive proportions, original architectural details and period character sit alongside beautifully finished bathrooms, modern kitchens, striking artwork and eclectic interiors.

The result is 1, 2 & 3 Bedford House – three very different places to stay, all under one historic Tenby roof.

Location, location, location!

Bedford House enjoys a fantastic position on Sutton Street, putting you just outside Tenby’s famous historic town walls and within easy walking distance of everything that makes the town such a special place to visit.

Leave the car behind and explore on foot. Tenby’s independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants are all close by, while the colourful harbour and the golden sands of North Beach are also just a short walk away.

Whether it’s breakfast in town, a day on the beach, drinks overlooking the harbour or dinner in one of Tenby’s fantastic restaurants, everything is right on your doorstep.

Ironman Wales

And if you’re visiting for IRONMAN Wales, the location becomes even more special.

Bedford House is just seconds from Tenby’s famous IRONMAN Wales finish line!

All three apartments currently have IRONMAN availability, offering a rare opportunity to stay right in the heart of the atmosphere for one of the biggest weekends in Tenby’s calendar.

1 Bedford House – Sleeps 4 | 2 Bedrooms | Pet Friendly

Cosy, comfortable and full of character, 1 Bedford House is the garden apartment situated on the lower-ground floor.

Don’t be fooled by the level – this apartment benefits from something especially valuable in central Tenby: its own enclosed outside terrace.

Inside, the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area creates a welcoming social space, with a super-king bedroom, twin bedroom and stylish family shower room completing the layout.

The private terrace is perfect for a morning coffee or an evening drink before heading out into town.

One small well-behaved dog is welcome, making No. 1 a great choice for couples and smaller families travelling with a four-legged companion.

2 Bedford House – Sleeps 6 | 3 Bedrooms | Exceptional Outdoor Space

If you’re looking for the largest of the three apartments – and perhaps the biggest wow factor – 2 Bedford House is the standout choice.

This impressive duplex showcases the scale and character of the original building. Soaring ceilings and original features are paired with an eclectic interior where colour, pattern, artwork and contemporary furnishings create a space full of personality.

The spacious living area even includes a built-in bar, while the three bedrooms are served by three bathrooms plus an additional WC, offering excellent flexibility for families and groups.

Step outside and the apartment continues to impress.

French doors open onto a large enclosed garden terrace, with a glass-sided walkway leading to comfortable seating and a generous outdoor dining area beneath a retractable-roof pergola.

It’s an ideal setting for relaxed breakfasts, long afternoons in the sun or evening meals together after a day exploring Tenby.

Please note: 2 Bedford House is pet free.

3 Bedford House – Sleeps 6 | 3 Bedrooms | Pet Friendly

Up on the upper floors, 3 Bedford House offers a completely different feel once again.

This characterful duplex places the building’s history front and centre, with original features, generous proportions and carefully preserved details throughout, balanced by modern styling and comfort.

There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, but the highlight is found on the top floor.

Tucked beneath the eaves is a superb super-king bedroom suite, complete with dressing and vanity area, twin basins and a luxurious multi-jet walk-in shower set beneath a skylight.

It’s a striking use of space and gives No. 3 a distinct identity compared to the apartments below.

One small well-behaved dog is also welcome at 3 Bedford House.

Bringing the whole family? Why not take more than one!

One of the most appealing aspects of Bedford House is its flexibility.

Individually, the apartments sleep 4, 6 and 6 guests – but subject to availability, families or groups can book two or even all three apartments together.

This creates a fantastic option for extended families or groups of friends who want to holiday in the same building while still enjoying their own private space.

Book all three and Bedford House can accommodate up to 16 guests across eight bedrooms – right in the heart of Tenby.

Historic character. Contemporary comfort. An incredible Tenby location.

A huge amount of care has gone into the transformation of Bedford House.

Restoring a listed building of this scale while preserving its character and adapting it for modern holiday living is no small achievement.

The result is not three identical apartments, but three individual homes, each offering a different way to experience the same beautifully restored building – all within walking distance of Tenby’s beaches, harbour, shops, bars and restaurants.

And now they’re ready to welcome their first Puffin Cottage Holidays guests.

Welcome to Bedford House, Tenby.
