    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

    I really enjoyed how well maintained the hotel was. My wife and I felt well looked after by the staff, and were comfortable throughout. It gave us the comfort of a hotel with the personalised feel of a B&B with lots of thoughtful little touches to make us feel welcome. Thank you to the whole team, especially rhianne, ashley at the front of house, as well as to the chef who prepared a stunning breakfast for us!

    Turned out to be staying in the annex, which was still nice, but I think I would try to stay in maybe the main building next time.

    Location was amazing, the staff went above and beyond and were generally incredible, the room had a bath, which I think is a good idea for a property that caters to many hikers/walkers, and the room was clean and comfortable, as was the bed. Oh, and the cream tea on arrival was such a great touch and made it more memorable and special. Also, the breakfast was great!
