Bideford - EX39 3QB - Map

Dinner, Bed and Breakfast

THE DURRANT HOUSE HOTEL is, without doubt, the best hotel in our current offering. The rooms, ballroom, food and service, have been praised by all our guests as exemplary, and Carole and I can recommend this hotel without reservation.


FOOD & RESTAURANT: The restaurant, with etched glass and mahogany panels, is extremely comfortable, and has a warm and homely ambience. The food and service, and attention to every detail, was noted by our clients to be of a very high standard and therefore represented wonderful value for money.

ROOMS & PUBLIC AREAS: The rooms, all recently refurbished, are of contemporary decor, with a good standard of furnishings and the bathrooms have marble walls and glass sinks making them luxurious in appearance. Dancers, the hotel offers standard rooms as described above, premium rooms with more space and sofas, and 8 Jacuzzi(for two) rooms of varying sizes (not necessarily as large as some of the other premium rooms) and you should ring our office if you want to treat yourself to an upgrade. The public areas have a colonial feel with dark wood, etched glass and marble floors and the ballroom is stunning with a brand new dedicated dance floor.


TOURIST INFORMATION: The area around Bideford has some fascinating places to visit places such as Appledore, Instow and Clovelly have there own charm, whilst at Great Torrington, the Dartington Glass Factory has a visitors attraction and Factory shop. Click Here

Hear what our dancers say......

Wessex Hotel March 2009"Thank you both very much for such an enjoyable weekend. Much more than very good. Magnificent. Warren and Kristi are a delightful couple. The tuition was superb. Very constructive. Clear explanations, giving many examples of all that was taught. Impossible to fault them in any way. Brilliant."
Dorothy and Emlyn

Wessex Hotel March 2009"We thoroughly enjoyed the detail and precision of the workshop given by Warren and Kristi. Focussing on posture and hold was probably more beneficial than learning lots of new routines. Both Warren and Kristi are lovely teachers and we will be looking out for their workshops in the future."
Godfrey and Marilyn

Wessex Hotel March 2009"A thoroughly enjoyable holiday break. Your music, friendliness, and enthusiasm are contagious. Warren and Kristi were excellent. Their teaching skills were clear and we could follow each of their lectures precisely. All in all, a very professional weekend from them and you both. Thank you."
Dave and Edwina

Wessex Hotel March 2009"Thank you for another great weekend, lovely ballroom (Wessex Hotel) and excellent music as always. Warren & Kristi's classes were excellent and very well explained and we certainly learned a great deal and are looking forward to next year when you have them again."
George and Joan

Local Information

Bideford is an attractive town on the banks of the Torridge estuary. Following the building of a new bridge in the late 1980s it is not so busy with the traffic heading into North Cornwall able to bypass the town on the A39.

The old road has a lovely famous bridge crossing the Torridge linking the town of Bideford to its aptly named neighbour "East the Water".

This area of North Devon was home to the Author Charles Kingsley, and where he based his novel Westward Ho!, since that novel was published the town of Westward Ho! has grown and was in-fact named after the book!
