    Could have done with a mini fridge.

    The location was great. Staff were friendly. The room was spot on. Breakfast was cooked to order, so it was as fresh as you could get. Allocated parking space, which was a bonus, so no battle for a space.

    Everything. Bedroom was big and had the feel of luxury about it. Shower was excellent with no waiting on hot water. View outside window was peaceful. Breakfast was delish and plenty to fill you up for the day. Afternoon tea was a welcome surprise. Staff were professional and friendly. The decor was beautiful and inviting. Grasmere is a beautiful and peaceful place and I would recommend staying here at Bridge House Hotel.

    The fire alarm was set off accidentally by someone staying at the hotel which woke us both up. I understand this could happen but when people come to stay it needs to be pointed out to them where it is so as not to happen again as I believe it has happened before. I would have appreciated a complimentary apology email with maybe a slight reduction off next visit. It was ashame as I couldn't fault the hotel it was beautiful

    Lovely receptionist beautiful setting and service room lovely and cream tea scones and croissants lovely

    Decor a bit dark in bedrooms, in need of a refresh and paint flaking off In places, our bathroom mirror had seen better days!

    Really comfy bed, bathroom lovely. Breakfast good too, nice little treat was the complimentary cream tea on arrival and hot drinks.

    Great location with free designated parking space. We were greeted by a lovely pleasant young lady, Sarah. Check-in was quick and simple and Sarah was very helpful and informative, even printing off a gluten free menu for the restaurant at the sister hotel. We had been upgraded(free) to a superior room with a view overlooking the river and bridge! The room was very large with extra king size very comfortable bed with bedside tables and power points each side, There was a desk/dressing table with mirror, and tea/coffee water and biscuits, plus a large armchair with coffee table by the huge window next to the river! There were 2 double wardrobes, with auto lights inside, plenty of hangars and a safe, plus full length mirror. The bathroom had full length bath with double shower over with plenty of hot water, and a heated towel rail, plus toiletries and shaver point. After unpacking, we went to the conservatory/ lounge for complimentary tea/coffee and scones(GF available). Our room was nice and warm and we slept very well. The full english cooked breakfast (GF available)(pre order night before) was very good with 2 eggs, and brought to the table.My wife (who is Ceoliac) spoke to the chef and the waitress who both had a full understanding of the specific needs of GF preparation! There was a good selection of continental breakfast plus juice tea/coffee self service. The whole place was spotless throughout. Its in an ideal location for touring/walking. The hotel was quiet and peaceful and we would highly recommend it!!

    There wasn’t anything to dislike.

    My sister and me received the best and warmest welcomes ever from Sarah at Bridge House. The location is spot on; the rooms were lovely with nice selection of teas, biscuits and coffee in room. They offer complimentary scones in the afternoon which were gorgeous and could even cater for gluten free which is great. We enjoyed this lovely hotel so much that we stayed an extra night. We needed to switch rooms to do so but the second room we stayed in was just as lovely. Would highly recommend and definitely would revisit. All the staff were very friendly and professional and the chef cooked a fantastic breakfast. We very much enjoyed the use of the pool at the sister hotel in the village

    I do wish there had been a liquid hand soap dispenser next to the sink. I understand not wanting to use those bars of soap ad they’re so wasteful, but a liquid hand soap from the same company who did the other toiletries would be good. I know they do them as Baldry’s had them in their bathrooms!

    The staff at the hotel are really personable and lovely. We have stayed in other hotels in the area and Bridge House has the best staff so far. I enjoyed getting my breakfast brought on a plate rather than buffet style, but there’s still the usual continental on fare too. The room we had in the annexe was nicely decorated but a tad cozy. That did not bother us though as we were out of our room a lot.

    The way breakfast is set out limits choice, and the cooked portion can be disjointed if things don't go according to plan

    Area in which the hotel is amazing step out and the walks available are many and suited to all abilities
