The Bridge House Hotel

Had breakfast in the restaurant, have been there a few times. very good hot and cold selection, buffet style. we love the scenery, river at back of hotel, can see swans, birds.

Pleasant situation on the river Stour with swans and ducks and the sound of gentle flowing river and views across countryside. Room was a good size and comfortable with adequate storage. Bathroom a little awkward for us elderly folks as you had to step over a high sided bath to shower and no grab rails to hang on to. Rest of bathroom was OK. Food was good for breakfast and lots of places to sit inside or out on the sun decking where you could watch a lazy river scene.

Plenty of parking space and walks along the river banks on both sides. Traffic going by was busy over the holiday period we were there but you could not hear it through the windows. Pleasant staff and courteous. We would certainly stay there again should we be in the area. Good to get to most places from there too.

We stayed here for two nights, overall we were happy. Nice car park with barrier and plenty of room, key codes given at reception for exit but didn't need it. Room was basic, but clean apart from a few cob webs between front door and bathroom. Beautiful view out the window, it was muggy so we had the windows open and it welcomed the bugs. Downsides were the bed was rock solid and could hear other room noise, but shoved the TV on and solved that.

Breakfast both days was alright, we didn't rate the sausages and the apple juice must of been squash? Very watery. oh and the filter coffee otherwise happily stuffed our faces. Wi-fi signal wasn't the greatest but worked enough for our needs Our TV had an option to stick a usb/plug media into it to play. but just watched film 4

What a little gem, in a convenient spot to visit all that Dorset has to offer. The hotel staff are very welcoming, friendly and efficient. The meals we have had sp far have been tasty and our bedroom spacious and the bed comfortable. Well done everyone who keeps this hotel running you are doing a fantastic job. Room 218 is great as it overlooks the river.

Haven't actually stayed here but have visited a few times for breakfast with friends. At 9.50 per head for an unlimited full English breakfast, it's actually quite good value for money. The staff are also very pleasant and very helpful. However, the breakfast facilities do close at 10.30am so be warned if you like a late breakfast. Ut is also quite centrally located for visiting Wimborne, Bournemouth and Poole, all within a few miles of the hotel.

Take my mum and auntie here, they love it. Good food at great prices. Friendly staff. A lovely way to spend a lazy afternoon. Comfortable cosy lounge area to sit in and enjoy a coffee after your meal

We came on a Sunday for the carvery which was delicious. The meat was lovely and the cauliflower cheese was a favourite! Our waitress, Sofia, was absolutely fantastic. She was extremely attentive even though it was very busy. We will be definitely back - many thanks.

Sunday Carvery today was excellent. Fresh, tasty and good portion of the meat from the chef. You help yourself to the rest, the roast potatoes were crispy and tasty. The waiters were professional and cheerful. Well done, we'll be back! BTW the Eton mess was also yummy!

I had fish and chips with mushy peas, at what I thought was a reasonable price. The fish was a large piece, that covered the long plate and certainly wasn't out of a packet, the mushy peas came in a separate bowl. There was tartar sauce as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and as usual the staff are helpful and cheery.

Beautiful rooms, definitely go for a riverside room as cosy and classic rooms are on the road side which is quite a busy road, we upgraded when we realised. Staff were lovely and really helpful. Had some issues with our heating, couldn't turn our radiator off so the room felt like a sauna, had to sleep with the windows open, staff did try to rectify it.

Bed was very comfortable, rooms were clean. No room service but has a lovely restaurant downstairs which serves food until 9pm. We did order a pizza one night which we were able to take to our room. The carvery was amazing. Will definitely return.

The friendship club had their Xmas dinner there and it was fantastic. Thanks bridge house chef and staff.

Excellent Xmas Dinner, staff were very polite, but as it was Xmas you felt a little rushed. Food very good. Picturesque area on the river. Great choice at the bar. Only down side is its on a very busy road that does get snarled up so allow extra time to get there

We enjoyed a Christmas meal for a party of 12. Really good food, lovely atmosphere. Bit of a hidden gem.

Great hotel, stayed for one night and booked 2 rooms. Reception staff were pleasant and friendly. The rooms were very clean and a good size. The hotel allow you to leave your car in the car park for up to 2 weeks if you book a room. It was a good place to stop prior to our week away abroad.

Excellent value for money hotel with friendly staff. Very clean and well appointed rooms to include a bath as well as a shower. Plenty of tee, coffee, water and biscuits. We will be back!

This hotel has excellent staff who really make the difference between a good stay and an excellent stay. Beautiful clean and comfortable rooms and very good quality food. Ideal for walkers with a number of nature reserves near.

Really nice place to stay. Decorated to lovely professional standard. Staff were polite, helpful and always smiling. The fried breakfast buffet was hot and fresh. 100% recommend

What a lovely place. Very conveniently located for touring the area. The room had a lovely view of the river. The restaurant was good value and you must try the Bridgehouse burger! All the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

Would definitely recommend this place! We were a party of 27, meals were lovely and very well presented. Staff very friendly and helpful. And the surroundings here are amazing, inside and out. Thank you so much! Had a lovely, family catch-up evening. Xx

We chose this property above the others in the area as it was fresh clean and convenient for our travel needs. We got the standard room for the one night at a cost we thought was reasonable. It was very easy to check in and out and the staff were lovely. On check in we were asked if we wanted to book dinner and breakfast. The grounds are lush and green!

A little stream and a large back terrace and garden just loved it! The room had towels and shower gel which I was not expecting as on the site I booked from (booking.com) it said only tissue was provided. There is also a hair dryer, hangers, iron & board, kettle and little treats cookies and tea! Two bottles of water are also included in the room and a case holder.

Our standard room was right by the doors entrance and as it was a hot night we slept with the windows open and so we could near every passer by and conversation in the lobby area. An item of mine fell behind the radiator and on retrieval found quite a bit of dust! The door lock on the bathroom door did pop out and so did not use it (forgot to mention to staff on checkout)
