A New Way to Stay
Hanging out in The Parlour Room, lazy mornings in bed in your Elegant Room, brunch with friends in The Bedford Cafe… we’re missing it all. Mostly though, we’re missing you.
While we can’t wait to welcome you back, times have changed and so have we. Now, more than ever, we’re committed to reopening our doors the right way. Below you can learn more about how we are planning to keep our team and guests safe – leaving you to focus on the fun and enjoying your much deserved break.
So, what can you expect?
A Warm Welcome
This is the one thing that hasn’t changed! We want to reassure all our guests and customers at The Bedford that hospitality is still at the heart of everything we do. While we have some additional steps in place to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely, you can rest assured that what has not changed is our welcoming team and the best of Limerick hospitality.
All our Townhouse guests will receive a courtesy call the day before their arrival to reconfirm your reservation and any further assistance you may need in planning your stay in Limerick.

Cosy Stays
Back to basics.
- In-room, we’re pairing it back to the essentials, keeping everything you need and taking out anything you don’t. The best of our complimentary amenities such as Ballygowan water and robes & slippers aren’t going anywhere and will be replaced after each stay.
- Things like maps, notepads and pencils may have made their way out, but we’ll have everything handy in the event you may need it.
- We’ve always thoroughly cleaned rooms between guests, replacing linen and towels, and we’ll continue to do so.
