A good place for our overnight stay. The bed was massive and comfortable. Room was clean as was en-suite although a shower would improve this setting. Breakfast was good and host was amicable.

Fantastic stay

Had a lovely stay in the family room which was massive, there was loads of space and one room had an enormous double bed with an adjoining room with two very comfy single beds. Great nights sleep had by all and a lovely breakfast in the morning what more can you ask for.

Amazing stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the Bridge. Lovely comfy huge bed! Beautiful bedroom. It was quiet and great location - very short walk to pubs, restaurants and local shops. The staff member we met not sure if it was the owner was very welcoming. Delicious full breakfast. Will definitely be back there.

Disappointing

Looks better on the outside than the inside. Good it has parking, friendly manager, well positioned and decent breakfast. HOwever, room with broken sink, no hot water in the evening for a bath(no shower), windows don't open properly - have to try and wedge open, and bed far from great.
