What guests think

At Bridge House Hotel, Leisure Club & Spa, guests consistently praise the friendly, professional staff and generally enjoy the food, bar, and leisure amenities, though several note dated areas, inconsistent breakfast quality, and maintenance or cleanliness lapses.

A recurring complaint is very warm rooms with limited cooling and, for some street-facing rooms, significant noise late at night or early morning. Some guests found the outdoor hot tub cold and the changing areas or pools not well kept. The central location is convenient for shops and dining, with free or easy parking nearby, though the car park is a short walk and the entrance can be tricky to find. Overall, it suits travellers who value atmosphere and amenities over absolute quiet or modern finishes.

Our stay was satisfactory overall. Initially a problem with payment as the lady couldn’t confirm I already paid so charged me again. I was refunded in the morning and a very gracious apology. Staff were brilliant, food was excellent. Bed was really comfortable but the room was really hot, no air con or fan to help. The pool and sauna/steam room was great.

The hotel car park is a short walk from the hotel itself - not a big deal but worth bearing in mind if you have a lot of bags or kids or limited mobility. Rooms are well set up, small but have everything you need. Breakfast is disappointing - undercooked food, tired buffet, and they don't let you help yourself to the cooked breakfast buffet so you're at the mercy of the staff's ideas. I ended up with an unwanted lake of beans.

Enjoyed our stay but did not use the leisure facilities as the change rooms were dirty. People had clearly walked through change rooms with outdoor shoes so floor was filthy. Women’s had hair all over the floor. Breakfast was very good. Room was clean and spacious. Great for 1 night but would stay for the weekend as facilities were run down and dirty.

I was sold on Expedia's sell, it is an impressive buiding. However, despite advising reception of my delicate nature around noise - my room was on the street side. Passing traffic and lights from a Christmas tree and the shops had light filter past the curtains. I am absent rest - the point of a room. The Spa is a letdown. The walkway(s) are spectacular, the grand ballroom too. But everything is tired. The communal spaces are so beautifully 1930' - a delight. My salad - duck was its own reward. The serving staff are brilliant. Breakfast - fantastic, with Christmas tunes too - thank you. However, if you are unsupportive of guests then you miss the point! A carpark - an interesting concerpt

Like pool. Did not like bed mattress, it wasn’t a mattress, it was 2 mattresses zipped together leaving a dip in the middle, which was uncomfortable and caused pain to an already existing back ache. I have never ever seen 2 mattresses zipped together in a hotel of this calibre, always only one king size mattress giving equal comfort across whole mattress, not having to sleep either side of a very uncomfortable zipped up dip in the middle!!!!

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, nice rooms, and loved the entrance with fab staircase. Nice bar and restaurant. Good breakfast options. Cons. The room was very hot. Breakfast was ruined by music being played midway through my sitting. First of all it was loudly tested by the staff and then played consistenly so i had to leave. I think most people want a peaceful breakfast and don't wish to have loud music or listen to staff discussions. Other than that, I would recommend.
