Welcome to Bedford Accommodation
Situated in two of the most historic homes in Balbriggan, Bedford House and Bedford Hall date back to 1750 and 1830. The Georgian and Victorian homes are treasures from Balbriggan’s past when the town was known all over the world by the quality of its hosiery with the Empress of Austria, the Czarina and Queen Victoria among their customers.
We welcome everybody, therefore, we also have modern pod accommodation with bedrooms to share with friends, colleagues or family.
Bedford is located at the heart of the Irish Institute of Music and Song campus where guests can expect to interact with artists, writers, composers and occasionally hear impromptu concerts from Broadway stars staying at the Institute as part of the Artist in Residence Programme. Choirs, concert bands and orchestras can regularly be heard around the campus using the purpose built spaces for rehearsals.
Balbriggan, only 20 minutes’ drive from Dublin airport, has one of the prettiest sandy beaches in Dublin and is surrounded by many unique places to visit, like Ardgillan Castle, Bremore Castle, Newgrange or Newbridge House and Farm.
More than beautiful accommodation, Bedford is different from anything else out there.
Stay with us! Maria Escriva, our Managing Director, and her team will look after you.
