Did you know that Bedford House dates back to 1830? A little reminder of this is on display in our Restaurant with the original stone wall of The Bedford exposed. Ask our Team about the clothes making history of Bedford House and learn a bit of Limerick History as you enjoy your meal. We have blended old and new together in The Bedford and the classic/contemporary style created by the talented Tullio Orlandi shows how old and new can co-exist so beautifully!

Fabulous little gem of a hotel

Couldn’t recommend this little gem of a hotel enough. From the warm welcoming service off Denise & the team to the high standard of decor & cleanliness throughout the property, following COVID guidelines. Also in a very central location. Would definitely advise on getting the breakfast too was delicious

Excellent

We picked The Bedford Townhouse and cafe for a night away for our Anniversary. It’s perfectly located in the heart of Limerick city. The room we had was fabulous and the breakfast in the cafe very tasty. You can avail of a reduced rate for the multi story car park across the road and all shops and restaurants are very nearby. We will be back!
