The Bridge Inn

Enjoyed our stay

Friendly service. Nice food. Good value.

Clean room and friendly staff

Stayed many times before lovely place perfect for access to the mountains at Wasdale head

Lovely bar and food and the rooms were exactly as we needed

The pub is a lovely building in s good location. Unfortunately it was woefully understaffed. We had to wait for half an hour at reception to book in. My wife was told at the bar someone would be with us in 2 minutes. This was after waiting 20 mins. Ten minutes later, nothing. I told the bar man we would be leaving in 2 minutes and would want a refund. Someone appeared, no apology. We then had to queue 15 minutes to order food and drinks, so we doubled up on the drinks. It took an hour for the food to come. My wife enjoyed hers, mine was poor. The table next to us left 2 full cheesecakes because they were still frozen, i hope they didn't pay. Room was very small but clean. Breakfast was excellent. Stay was spoiled by understaffing, not the staffs fault, but the management not willing to pay for staff, which led to poor customer experience and dissapointment. Could have been a great experience, but wasn't.

Nice Place and wonderful food.

Nice place to stay. Coffee shop not far away and walkable - very nice. Need a car as narrow lanes to get to and no footpaths. Service at breakfast on the 1st morning was slow but that was due to the young girl serving. Not there when we arrived and waited 10 minutes before she appeared. Left dirty dishes on tables when she could have easily removed when bringing other dishes etc...She was friendly enough. 2nd morning, totally different service. Lady on duty was attentive and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. Food is good, book a table as it is busy. Rooms were clean and spacious but feel they missed a trick with our room. Small corridor to the bathroom but no hooks to put coats on etc.. Would definitely stay again...

Quick check in, good bar with lots of real ale. OK pub food. Excellent breakfast. The room was fine, other than the window not fitting (potentially a problem in Winter). But the bathroom was truly awful, it was clean, but so scruffy, with grotty lino and the enamel peeling off the bath. It could be so much better.

Nothing

Wonderfull location

Staff seemed like they did not want to be their the first evening meal we had on the Sunday 6/7 was just about ok complained and some elements were not charged for it’s an old building so you expect some things not looking good here tho the older part of the building was tired cracked sink in our room . Carpets coming away at edges and on step up to room, you get the idea

Had a enjoyable break

Just lovely

Our stay was comfortable, breakfast is amazing really fresh and the staff at the breakfast was very nice and friendly. The only criticism I have is for the bartender, the gentleman was quite rude and he did misbehave with a few other guest too. The body language and tone is very unwelcoming. We asked for a drink suggestion and he said I can’t as I don’t drink. We ignored that but in the second serving our drink was bit warm and we shared this concern we were told this is the right temperature it’s being served. We did not order drink for the first time and receiving such an abrupt and rude response was disappointing. I work in hospitality too and have never seen this anywhere. We never faced any issue as all the other staff members were really nice and warm except this gentleman. Overall value for money and nice and peaceful place. But someone needs to investigate this for sure.

Our stay here was brief but I was happy to see that they were willing to serve dinner not long before closing. (There aren’t a lot of dining choices nearby.) It is an older property but everything functioned and was clean. Boot tray in the closet for wet boots was a good feature, although we lucked out with the weather. We also appreciated the bottled water. We enjoyed the cook-to-order breakfast and overall friendliness of the property. The view of the bridge and stream was outstanding.

Like the walking mainly. Wander from the hotel in any direction and there is something to see, Both long and short walks.

Service was awful. Staff were just plan outright rude. One response during breakfast, in response to when a customer said "excuse me" to the waiter, was "no, Ill speak to you later". I moved a cup at breakfast and the waiter said to me "I've had to replace that cup to you moved". Only one place comes to mind when describing The Bridge In. Fawlty Towers, and the waiter is like Basil.

Lovely hotel, clean cosy rooms, excellent food and breakfast and the service was brilliant

Lovely room, great price, nice beer, fabulous breakfast and very friendly staff. I'm definitely coming back here!
