The location was excellent only a short walk along the main road to all of the pubs, restaurants and shops. The overall feel of The Bridge House was lovely, very quirky and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The breakfast was delicious, lots of choice on cooked food and a decent but smaller choice of cereals, fruit and pastries etc. we had the Dorset breakfast and it definitely set us up for the day. The staff were all friendly and the service was mainly very good although a little slow if they were busy. It was also very handy to have onsite parking.

Unfortunately when making the booking the only room available for the dates we wanted was a ‘cosy’ room, the room was definitely on the smaller side but we managed. We did however struggle with the shower as it was a corner shower so smaller than normal. Also a shelf above the sink would have been useful to put toothbrushes etc. instead of balancing them on the sink edge. The only problem we had was when we came back about 8.40pm one evening and went to the reception desk which is supposed to be staffed until 10pm to get some toilet roll for our room. We rang the bell (and we could hear it ringing) at least 8-10 times over a 25 minute period and no one answered. We ended up having to go into the toilets near the dining room and get some from there!!!

The host and staff were exceptional and helped in any way they could, breakfast was superb with plenty of choice and the evening snacks that were available if you wanted them were very filling , the cheese board was huge and more than enough for two sharing as was the charcuterie. Our room in the attic was small although very well equipped with toiletries and hair dryer iron and ironing board. The location is perfect for walking into Bridport and ideal for touring around Dorset. the nearest beach is West Bay only 5mins by car and a slow 20min walk. there was enough on sight parking for about 6 cars. The outside bar and garden area is ideal for relaxing with a glass of wine. It is a dog friendly hotel.

The room was too small for a longer stay as there are three flights of stairs to the attic rooms. older guests might struggle if not very mobile.

Hotel, spotles Clean,. Very helpful friendly staff. 👌 we stayed I room 11, plenty tea & coffee, even fresh milk in a little fridge on your landing. All hand sanitiser, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, body lotion and bubble bath were provided, even cotton buds and cotton wool balls. Dressing gowns and the towels were so fluffy. Very good choice of breakfast and as I am on a diet the breakfast was grilled, so that was great 👍 I don't think there was anything they didn't have. Beautiful little garden bar, very quirky, bar man was attentive and very friendly. If bar is closed, they even have a honesty bar, you help yourself and write it down and pay later. How cool is that! Would I stay again, I didn't want to come home !!

Going home 🏡

Absolutely everything!!! The owners have really thought this through... Friendly staff, interesting artefacts, an honesty bar indoors, a beautiful garden bar, plus a grassy area near the river! All the garden furniture is wooden, there are loads of pretty plants and flowers wverywhere- it's such a wonderful place 💗 The bedrooms are fantastic- oldy worldy, but in a welcoming and comfortable way! Definitely no shabby chic aka rubbish, and everything anyone could possibly need, including decaf teas and coffees, fresh milk kept in a little fridge to help yourself from, shower gels, shampoo, conditioner etc. The shower was powerful too! The breakfasts were wonderful, and dog treats left ready for Room 1's little dog 🐾 The owners pay such great attention to detail and the whole experience was completely wonderful! There's also secondary glazing in the sash windows to keep road noise out. There are roller blinds and heavy curtains to keep the light out and a heater/fan to maintain ambient temperature. We absolutely loved The Bridge House 💗

Everything was perfect! There's nothing to complain about!

A beautiful period house decorated in keeping with its age and full of interest. Our room was well appointed, dinky but we expected that. It was lovely, clean and warm. The owners and staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and made us very welcome, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast offering was excellent, a good choice of fruit, cereal, hot drinks etc and the cooked breakfast menu was extensive and catered for all tastes. The vegetarian option was first class. Located a 5 minute walk into the main town we found this perfect, close to restaurants, coffee shops etc but away from the hustle and bustle. A bus stop was just opposite the hotel if you didn’t want to use the car for exploring. The hotel had a handy car park for guest use and the pretty garden was a quiet haven for relaxing with a bar facility. There was also a communal guest lounge for guests to use.All in all the Bridge House was the perfect choice for us.

We have no negative comments

We stayed in the family room. I was staying with my elderly mother and my dog. The room itself was almost perfect with lots of little nice touches including treats and a blanket for my dog.

The family room is accessed via some steep stairs. This was not ideal for my 93 year old mother but to be fair, Bridge House had notified me of this beforehand. Also, the room faces out to the main road with obvious noise accordingly but it wasn't too bad at all and didn't particularly bother us, though it may others.

Staff were excellent, We arrived early and we were offered to leave our bags whilst the room was readied, we went for a quick ride ( We are on Motorbikes ) when we returned the owner spotted us trying to park the bikes on the soft gravel carpark surface and immediately appeared with some small slabs to place under our side stands. Room was excellent and everything we needed was to hand. Breakfast was also really good.

Nothing - I am going to return with my wife next Spring.

Everything! This hotel is fabulous and the owners work hard to keep up such a high standard that puts bigger overpriced hotel to shame . The decor is so tasteful ,beautifully decorated and attention to detail shows that owners have a passion for what they do .I stayed with my sister so booked two single rooms which were lovely lots of lovely touches dressing robe , quality toiletries, selection of teas biscuits and tassimo coffee machine .Also small ironing board in each room.The breakfast was delicious lots of choices and served in a wonderful dining room full of character antiques and art . All the staff very friendly and attentive nothing too much trouble. The hotel had an outside bar called the potting shed and even that and surrounding garden was a delight filled with garden memorabilia and candles / lights and Cosy blankets Sadly We only stayed two nights but will definitely come back as lots to do and see in the area

Nothing

Excellent staff. You always pick up the energy around a place and staff that makes the difference. Bridge House is such a place. Attentive, friendly, genuine and very helpful staff. The room had many extras you normally don't see. When I left very early in the morning, a package with croissants and fruits was waiting for me in the reception. The breakfast was amazing since you could order from a menu, all inclusive. Can't wait to get back!

I had to leave.

I loved the whole ambiance: a beautiful restored townhouse, very tastefully decorated with attention to every detail. Clearly an excellent team working collaboratively to provide top quality service for guests. Bridport is a vibrant and very attractive historic town with all modern conveniences: a happy place!

I don't drive, and relying on public transport - ie buses - is an art in itself. The various routes are confusing. If only Dorset Council would appreciate the value of providing a frequent reliable bus service, more people would choose to travel without cars. The traffic through the town is constant. Fortunately the pavements are wide
