This was my 40th wedding anniversary. We stayed at the Bridge Hotel on our honeymoon.The hotel has been modernized but the front entrance looks the same. It has a special place in our hearts. Food was great. The bathroom and room renovations are really wonderful. It was well worth the return trip.

    Excellent. Both had eggs Florentine for breakfast. It was a nice touch to get make your own pack lunches free of charge. Good range of drinks in the bar which was busy with external visitors and residents. Dinner choices appeared basic on the menu but actually the homemade aspects were really good - eg the double beef burger made with local beef. Definitely a recommendation. Bathroom was very clean and modern.

    Staff extremely friendly and offered me directions for my planned walking routes the next day. Big building with self catering facilities, plenty of loos and showers. Food (dinner and breakfast) was very nice and in line with other YHA hostels I’ve stayed at. Big spacious lounge with superb views. Good location for hiking.

    We rested here after climbing Scaffell Pike. The hotel had everything we needed to recover from the long hike. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the shower/bath had luxurious toiletries. We had dinner in the restaurant downstairs, the food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Breakfast was included in the room rate. It was a tasty and generous portion. Thank you for the perfect stay!

    Perfect location with friendly staff. Great breakfast made to order and a takeaway snack box included for when you are out and about. Decent dinner menu with a nice pub garden for when the sun is out. Guaranteed parking for guests is also nice in a busy place.
