What guests think

Reviews of The Bridge Hotel and Spa describe a characterful, conveniently located stop near the A1M, with mixed experiences of the spa and leisure side, suiting travellers breaking a journey or visiting nearby towns.

Rooms are often clean yet sometimes small or awkward with sloping ceilings, temperature swings, and occasional noise from nearby areas or pipes; several note dated decor and minor maintenance issues like dim lighting, broken fittings, or intermittent hot water. Service is widely praised as helpful and welcoming, though isolated lapses include a brusque receptionist, late-night access instructions not shared, housekeeping entering without knocking, and limited help for guests with mobility needs. Dining feedback is mixed, ranging from excellent carveries and hearty breakfasts to lukewarm dishes, burnt toast, and the odd overpriced item. Good for a brief, no-fuss stay if you prioritise essentials over polish.

It was ok for price. I was disappointed about the fact that we had to book and pay for spa separately even though this hotel is spa hotel. Usually I expect spa is attached to a price I pay initially. The quality of spa was not brilliant.

Stayed here quite a few times, Beautiful hotel. Excellent spa. Also handy as a base for Great Yorkshire Show., Knaresborough and Wetherby. We are usually accommodated upstairs, but this time we were in a small room downstairs. Bit cramped but standard still good, Minor negatives: insufficient tea bags even after we requested more; no replacement liner in the bathroom bin. Wonderful ambience in the Courtyard restaurant. The carvery was okay but the fish alternative and vegetables weren't warm. Enjoyed a La Carte on second evening much more. Always an excellent choice for breakfast. Bar well stocked, but suggest attention is paid to glass washing as on both evenings my drink was served in dirty glasses so had to return. All staff were lovely - polite and friendly. service with a smile. Will be returning.

Booked this hotel for use of the spa, that was the whole point of staying here. The hotel staff never once reached out to notify their spa was closed for maintenance during our stay. We weren’t told until we asked about using it. On top of that the price of our stay was not reduced or compensated for the hotel amenities not being usuable. Really put a damper on our engagement trip.

When you’re cutlery sticks to the breakfast table you know you’ve booked the wrong hotel, this is said to be 4Star but needs reviewed! In general a really nice frontage but underneath needs a revamp, old tables that have little to none of the original surface or bring wiped with incorrect solutions, juice glasses that have seen the end of their days and generally not the cleanest of cutlery, breakfast was good. Room was nice but look closer and it’s an old throw on a couch and even it needed washing, bathroom, not the greatest seat I’ve had, and a really nice mirror spoiled by the tarnished corrosion on the chrome fittings, and if it’s room 29 take stepladders to hang up your clothes, it must have been a giant that fitted that clothes rail! I won’t be back.

Hotel very tired. Carpets smelt bad - gym locker rooms spring to mind. Bathroom in room stank of mould and had black mould around rim of bath. Bed so soft that it dipped heavily in middle. Did not stay as aromas so unpleasant. Staff member on duty was charming and full refund received. It was an expensive hotel for what it was. Uninviting.

The Hotel was bright and spacious and apparently well maintained. It had a mix of the modern but also some traditional wooden panelling in the Bar. Our room was clean, tidy and very comfortable and the toilet was spacious and well set out. The Staff were pleasant and helpful and we enjoyed an excellent and substantial dinner on our one and only evening in the Hotel. The next morning we had a very nice breakfast which included buffets for both hot and cold food - again plenty choice. We felt considering what had been on offer the meals were very good value. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would go back some day.

The room, though clean, was cold and draughty. I had notified the hotel by email and telephone that I would be arriving late, but when I arrived the door was locked and I had not received any instructions on how to get in. Fortunately, I still had the telephone number on my phone and the night manager let me in quickly. I feel that a clear instruction would have avoided the brief concern of not being able to enter.

Arrived 16th July – Departed 20th July – 4 nights stay. 1st night:- There was a constant humming/vibration noise in our room, no. 15. At 22.30 hrs I went down to reception and complained. The person I spoke to said it had something to do with the boilers and that it would go off shortly. It didn’t go off until 23.30 hrs and came back on at 06.00 hrs the next day. Went down to reception and asked them to move us because of the noise. This they did without hesitation. 2nd night:- We were moved to room 20, far away from the original noise/vibration. However, after 22.00 hrs that night we periodically had a tapping / scrapping noise emanating from the water pipes running through our room. This noise started on and off 4 times through the night. 3rd & 4Th nights we were again disturbed by the same problem from the pipes. Did not have one good night’s sleep the whole stay. Also, the one light in the bathroom was so dim, that it wasn’t possible to shave properly and the extraction fan didn’t work either.

Hotel looked lovely but the beds were really lumpy and the bottom sheet wasn't fitted and wasn't large enough to tuck under the mattress so came off when we were sleeping. The carvery was lovely in the evening. The breakfast was fairly standard buffet choice but I would have liked more choice of fresh fruit. Staff were friendly.
