Review 7：Wow! Wow! Wow! Exceptional hotel and hospitality. Breakfast sets u up for the day. Claire and Stephen became like family I didn't know I had. I can't recommend them enough, will definitely stay at this hotel again.
Review 8：excellent accommodation- very comfortable rooms and beds. Great food and the staff were friendly and attentive. Excellent value for money. Would definitely stay again.
Review 9：We were told we could not consume our own drinks at the honesty bar but we could in our rooms. So we did bare in minde ages of all 6 people were 55 ish we were not dancing on the beds!! We had to call it a night when a guest knocked and asked us to be quiet , so we went back to our rooms.the next nite we thought we would sit out side were there were only two tables and two chairs . When all we wanted to do is sit have a nice nite with our reletives from austrailia who allso were celebraiting 25th w/aniversary we had to go to the public house across a main road upon return we found the door locked to the bar .
Review 10：Breackfast very good Good sleep
Review 11：Nothing to dislike. Scored wi-fi low as was not available in our room but we were made aware so not a problem but worth considering if needed to check your room beforehand.
Review 12：The welcome and the views were great.clean comfortable rooms and the honesty bar is a nice touch.
Review 13：Well, there were a few weakness in our family room, firstly the shower area had a very low ceiling causing a very uncomfortable feeling. Lastly, the shower area would be better of having a curtain at least(this might not be for all rooms considering that our room was at the attic level).
Review 14：Overall, just by staying here for 2 nights I thought that this place was lovely! The staff/owner(Claire) was very friendly and helpful in our stay. Our room was very comfy and nice on the attic floor, and I got to say... The breakfast was great! Good selection of food especially for B&B. Lastly, the price was very reasonable for B&B and close to nice delicious places such as Lakes Distillery(must try!).
Review 15：The room was beautiful, magnificent view and very comfortable. The owners were super lovely, very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, fresh, filling and relaxed. Would highly recommend Ouse Bridge House!
Review 16：Nothing to dislike.
Review 17：Booked late and found the owners to be most helpful. I left very early the following morning, well before breakfast. Despite this the owner got up early and made a bacon sandwich and tea to set me up for the day. Highly recommended and would return. Great location.
Review 18：I was asked for payment the minute I entered the building to then be told that private bathroom ment down the hall and given a key and a dressing gown! I would have left had I known but refund was not possible

Review 24：The room and bathroom w ere very clean;Cleaner than some hotels I've been to. Also the view over the lake was beautiful. The staff was nice and told us about places we could visit. Breakfast was huge and lovely. I guessed we had value for money.
Review 25：family room was at the top of the house.... quite a climb with a 2 year old and 5month old might be worth of thinking about adding some simple things to family room (childrens hangers/ footstool to stand at sink to clean teeth) could have been a little cleaner - tray with tea making facilities and glasses were dusty
Review 26：location - (had meadow view rather than lake) breakfast - accomodated children and vegetarians friendly staff - very helpful (offered travel cot/changed lightbulb etc)
Review 27：Host very friendly, room comfortable and very clean, host made us a lovely afternoon tea with home made slice. Off street parking which is always good. Always remember with most B and Bs.
