Reviews for Bridge House Hotel
Review 1：Floors were very noisy and beds were uncomfortable. Location wasn't the best compared to other hotels, very dangerous as there are no paths on a narrow road.
Review 2：Staff were very nice and always smiling. Breakfast was very quick and delicious. Rooms were cleaned everyday.
Review 3：An informal, low key but classy hotel; beatifully situated in the heart of Grasmere. The grounds were spacious, as was the room. The staff were helpful, kindly and efficient
Review 4：The welcome from the duty receptionist and attitude of the staff in general. The convenient location in relation to the town of Grasmere and the peaceful grounds surrounding the hotel.
Review 5：Four poster bed creaked on turning in bed, floor boards creaked above us throughout the night from walking of occupants.
Review 6：Cosy small Hotel in pleasant surroundings. We will be very happy to return for a longer stay
Review 7：Nothing to fault! If anything they possibly need a couple more staff around to make it sleeker but we were happy as the staff multi-tasked very well indeed!
Review 8：EVERYTHNG WE LOVED! A lovely stay and great location. It was just perfect for us! So close to everything and so nice and quiet. Loved feeding the ducks from our window and the beds were so comfy and all clean. Breakfast was fantastic and staff so helpful. They could not have worked harder whilst always smiling! Evening meals were amazing!
Review 9：Perhaps because of remote location, but no Wifi available. Find this unusual these days.
Review 10：Very friendly staff; good dinner options at very reasonable price. Lovely location right next to the river.
Review 11：Wifi was very poor in that it was very very slow and under powered even to check or send emails. The beds were a little hard for us but that maybe a personal preference.
Review 12：Very happy with the staff and accommodation. The breakfast was as you would expect. The location for us was very nice and the rooms/ bathrooms were clean. We will visit again in the future.

Review 22：Everything lovely setting we were there for a wedding and it was all perfect. The Hotel was great just not used to the bed's being an older couple I have a bad back it was just a bit hard.

Review 26：The room was very spacious even though it was in the attic not a problem. everything very clean. Staff very welcoming. Hotel in prime spot.

Review 34：Staff rude not giving you the correct information. Bed room ment to be king more like single with a double bed in it, asking to much money for rooms there not worth it.. don't stay there
Review 35：Ideal hotel location, nestling in the trees on the edge of the village. Nice top floor room, but lots of stairs and limited headroom! Very pleasant staff, and a great full breakfast.
Review 36：The only criticism I have is over the extremely hard bed, which we found very uncomfortable.
Review 37：We joined a group of friends for a walking weekend in Grasmere & The Bridge House is ideally situated, right in the centre.Parking was no problem. Our room was situated on the ground floor and was very spacious with a large bathroom. We had lovely views of the surrounding countryside - the river ran right alongside our window! The staff were very pleasant and service was excellent, with our large party all being served together very efficiently. The food was first class and excellent value for money.We are already planning a return visit!

Review 51：Most things near village ,parking . Good breakfast nice staff all new carpeting etc, .good would go back .
Review 52：Nothing.
Review 53：Grasmere is a busy village. Bus loads of walkers and visitors arrive each day. Bridge House Hotel has excellent gardens and lounges that allow you to hide away from all the activity when you need a break. It is very central and once there you can just park the car and leave it. Food was excellent. Dining in was good value for money. Staff were lovely, helpful and efficient.
Review 54：Food was average. Bed was uncomfortable. Decor was tired. Staff had quite bad English (but were friendly) Bathroom had a glass door looking straight into the staff smoking area.
Review 55：Location was excellent.
Review 56：Our first room (with riverside view) was awful: Too hot, too noisy (from kitchen &/or air-con), + dodgy light fittings etc. So glad we could change rooms! If we couldn't this review would be far worse!
Review 57：Our second room was very nice, the staff were helpful and the food was great.
Review 58：The room price for the following day was too expensive, compared to the first night which we booked by 'phone. The restaurant was a bit fussy and the food was okay but not special. The waitress seemed to want to do something else rather than get a drink for my friend after we had finished our meal.

Review 65：The location was right in the village of Grasmere so very convenient for exploring the village and surrounds without having to take the car.
Review 66：En suite very tired, poor shower, needs refurbishment. Inflexible staff in dining room, we ate a little late but were put on a table in a corner when all the window tables were free. Seemed unecessary
Review 67：Location excellent. We had a room overlooking the river. Evening meal very good value for money and good food to boot. Owner very accommodating and pleasant
Review 68：The tiny room (no. 5) particularly the bathroom(.Previous review are exactly right.) Certainly not value for money in that particular room. Too quiet in the restaurant, just a little background music would have been good . Everyone seems to head off to bed by 9 so no-one to chat to in the bar .not much else going on and very little atmosphere about the place.
