Having only decided to go to Ferndown at the last minute to visit friends, we found it difficult to find any accommodation as the weather was fantastic for the first time in ages and we knew people would be rushing down to the coast to soak up the sun. This hotel was not our first choice but they must have... More

When we pulled up outside this hotel I must admit I was concerned. The Bridge House is on a busy road and looked fairly basic from the front, but the look belies the truth. Once we checked in and located our room, we were delighted. The rooms at the back of the hotel have a fabulous view over a river... More

Retired couple, one a fairly new wheelchair user. Accessible room overlooking river was perfect. Staff polite, efficient and very helpful. Excellent value. Can recommend the Bridge House Bitter!

Needed a cheapish hotel near to Poole ferry terminal as had early Condor ferry to Jersey in morning. This hotel was much cheaper than hotels in Poole and only about 10 minutes from harbour. Pleasantly surprised by nice large spacious car park (hate having car squashed into tiny spaces). Receptionist was young lad who had a joke with me when... More

Brought a night away here off Groupon and was very surprised. The rooms were very clean and modern. Bed was lovely and soft, TV was the perfect size for the room. Reception were very pleasant and helpful. There was a wedding being held at the hotel the night we stayed but didn't hear any loud music or people. We didn't... More

It is pretty hard to find a Sunday Roast where they managed to messed up every part of it. At leased one bit is normally ok. This matched with a cold atmosphere and welcome mixed with poor service makes this the worst meal I have had in a long time.

Me, partner and 2 friends stayed in this hotel on Easter Saturday (07/4/12) in 2 double bedrooms. The hotel is a bit far from Bournemouth town centre but we wanted to stay close to nature so it was nice as the hotel has the river crossing its surrounding area, with some horses, birds and ducks in it. The room was... More

Just got back from Bournemouth and I've got to say I can't say enough about the bridge house hotel! The staff at this hotel were outstanding. Polite, friendly and welcoming? Our room was immaculate, with a beautiful river view. Breakfast was lovely, with an all you can eat buffet. They also do a carvery mon-sat for just £5!! Would recommend... More

My husband and I spent 2 nights at the hotel at the end of January. The room and bed were unusually small but very clean. There was no wardrobe only hooks and hangers which meant leaving garments on display in the room and through the window. A simple stand or shelf for a suitcase would have made a big difference....
