THE BULL ON THE BRIDGE

Really nice place, but the double bed was shocking. No support in the mattress soft and spring sticking in to your body. It was a shame the bed was so poor and let the experience down.

I didn’t stay here although I had booked and no one notified me that the hotel was actually closed! I booked it as it appeared on the website to be close to the station, so I walked with my bag and suitcase from the station… I sat in the derelict beer garden on the pavement side of the hotel. I phoned the number on the web, to be told by a polite young lady that her colleague would call me. He did call to say I had been “upgraded” to the sister hotel due to flooding in some rooms. He tried to explain how to get to the “sister” hotel… which was the shepherds rest. He ordered a taxi, the taxi driver certainly could not speak or understand English 😳.. I told him the hotel would pay, but he insisted that I paid, and wouldn’t accept Scottish currency despite the fact that it is legal tender in the UK. The Shepherds rest only deserves a mention because Jamie tries his very best! If I ran a business I would employ someone like him! He did give me a complimentary drink, considering I paid for the taxi. I asked if I could have supper there.. he asked if I had brought food as they have no restaurant!! I certainly did not have the energy to walk into the Center of town at Sowerby Bridge… so I gave supper a miss. The smart TV was good… I couldn’t close the velux style window and hoped it wouldn’t rain on the newly refurbished “upgraded” room. If I didn’t have a sense of humour I would be furious… cest La vie!!! Highly recommend Jamie… niether hotel though, sadly…

the bed was rock hard , the access to the room which wasn't very clean and had cardboard blocking off the open fire place ,was up two narrow flights of stairs . You could hear all the road noise through the single pane windows. parking was on the street behind the hotel ,on a fist come first serve basis . when i first looked at the hotel im sure it was £ 83 . but when i went through all the confirming stages, paid and then got a reciept it was £100. I wont be using Hotels. com again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Craig the host was very friendly and arranged taxi transport to & from Piece Hall to his new hotel as The Bull on the Bridge was overbooked. Excellent customer service & both hotels were v nice!

Great hosts and a warm welcome. Fantastic communication throughout and we will definitely book again for our next event at Piece Hall
