Can't wait to stay again at The Bridge. Fantastic setting, evening meal was faultless and the host was everywhere, looking after the guest's needs. Not the cheapest but certainly the best value of hotels in the Lake District.

A great hotel. Very clean, welcoming and fantastic food. The home made breakfast muesli was delicious. We walked from the hotel up Hay Stacks and another walk the next day. We met friends for dinner and thorough enjoyed the comfy lounge and atmosphere. We will be returning and would recommend this hotel to all.

We stopped for lunch on Bank Holiday Monday by chance and the setting is so beautiful we enquired about accomodation the following week in the self catering apartments which we booked. The apartments are very well furnished with a good kitchen and bathrooms with everything you might need when you stay. A minor criticism was that although towels and linen... More

This hotel is very comfortable, has friendly staff and good food, however it has one major drawback which is that they lock the doors at anytime between 10pm and 11pm. I have just returned from a four night stay there and on Friday night I got back to the hotel at 10:45 (the same time as the previous night) only... More

Stayed for a night at the end of March when it was a bit on the cold side. Not a warm reception with the desk staff coming out with a curt "you residents?" But still the hotel is nicely decorated, a little too much of the 'floral and tassel' for my taste. Tea and scones in the bar. OK Bath... More
