The Bradford Eatery Bakeshop - Branson

We stayed 4 nights at The Bradford this past week, each room has different decor and a jet tub as well as the option for a deck and fire place. Our room was classy, clean, comfortable and pretty. The WIFI was slow and kept disconnecting our stream, but we didn't come here to watch tv. The view was very pretty from the fire pit area and the community gazebo. Lots of summer green trees blocked the view from our patio but I am sure in fall it would be perfect. It's a delightful place that is private, clean, and quiet. We loved the 3 minute drive into town. Plenty of parking, you may have stairs, there is no elevator but it was only 1 stairwell for us. The staff is nice, plenty of communication by text/email/call. No physical check in or out, you do it on your phone, and it's simple. Taryn was very good to us, thank you! You must try the breakfast downstairs at Steamer Joe's wow! We will be back in the fall, and we will stay at The Bradford!

I love this place! Family owned, cheap prices, big rooms, great view, and great location. I try to stay here every time I come to Branson. And another plus, the restaurant that's connected to the inn has great food.

12/7/2019 This review is for Bradford Inn. I can 't say much about the Eatery , since we did not eat there. This is the second time my family and I have stayed at Bradford Inn, and it will be the last. I really wanted to leave a glowing review, but that is not to be the case. Here are the particulars: It is really nothing more than a motel with a nice image from the road. It is not really a true bed and breakfast in the sense that you would think of it as basically a warm and cozy house with a home cooked breakfast. There are some serious electrical problems that need to be addressed. Nearly all of the electrical outlets are very loose in the wall and will almost pull out of the wall when unplugging things. I know this has not been fixed in two plus years, as they were all loose at that time as well. The beds are a true health hazard and I am surprised they have not been sued for causing serious knee and leg injuries. The corners of the beds stick out from the mattresses and are hidden under the bedspread. They are at the perfect height, and of sufficient thickness, to destroy knees and upper shins. My wife 's legs are both black and blue from running over the corners. This has never happened anywhere else we have ever stayed. The breakfast is basically the same, monotonous thing every morning frozen/heated biscuits, sausage, sausage gravy, eggs (scrambled, fried, etc), waffles, and a very few other things. I will say the coffee and orange juice are both very good. It would be great to actually have bacon, oatmeal, some fruit, etc. Hotels, such as Holiday Inn, Best Western, and others, have somewhat better offerings for breakfast. BUT, the worst of it is the noise. Given that the building is so shoddily built, the owners/managers should do their best to keep things quiet. They did make a very minimal effort at first, until it was discovered that the noise was actually coming from the family of one of the employees. We called and spoke directly to the family member and was given the excuse that they had four kids and when they are out of school, they basically let them run wild. We tried to explain that the noise was far above what is acceptable and was at a sufficient level to cause headaches. The noise never subsided. I have nothing against kids living in the facilities, but the parents should understand they are responsible for their kids ' behavior as they would be in an apartment. My family and I are paying the salaries of the parents who work here. We deserve to have peace and quiet for the amount being charged per night. Needless to say, it was not a very restful vacation. While the coffee and orange juice were good, and the view overlooking Branson is excellent, this cannot make up for the fact that Bradford Inn has a lot of issues than can be remedied quite easily. I get the impression the owners are winding down their career as bed and breakfast owners and are now giving it a minimum effort to manage the place properly. To reiterate, this is our final stay here. We will be finding another bed and breakfast to stay on future trips to the area. I would also strongly caution other people since there are some injury hazards as well as possible issues that could be life threatening.

The eatery is closed. We stopped in to havelunch and were told they didn't open the eatery this year.

Went in with my mom and my son for breakfast shortly after 9:30 on a Sunday. There was no one there to seat us but my mom finally found someone working behind a counter in the kitchen who told us you have to stay at the Inn to eat there and that breakfast was over anyway. I've never heard of breakfast being over before 10 but my real issue is that I wish they would state clearly in their advertising that you must be a guest to eat there. Disappointed.
