Review summary

The Bridge is nestled in a lovely village right by the River Bollin, offering ample parking for guests. Many appreciate the spacious rooms, especially those in the newer part of the hotel, while some have suggested that a hairdryer and an extra bedside lamp would be welcome additions. The on-site restaurant receives high praise for its excellent menu choices, and the freshly cooked breakfast is often mentioned as a fantastic way to start the day, including fruit, yoghurts, cereals and pastries as well as cooked options.

Acceptable Stay, Notable Issues

broken tv basic room
My TV did not work and the room was very basic. Toiletries were limited to shampoo and shower gel. The room had no tissues, ironing board, or iron. Breakfast was disappointing. The breakfast bar was sparse and a croissant cost extra.
