Lovely place to stay in Dorset
Pros:

The Bridge house is is our go to place to stay when visiting family in Dorset. The hotel is clean staff are friendly, food is excellent and value for money.

Cons:

Were woken up at 7am by cleaning staff taking out their cleaning trolleys from a cupboard by our door. The clattering continued for 15 mins and then happened on and off for the next hour as they started their cleaning. Their equipment was stored the other side of our bedroom wall. Very frustrating...

Convenient for work
Pros:

It was close to my business. There were very good paths for jogging in the evening. The breakfast was good.

Cons:

My room faced the main road and the car noise did wake me in the morning around 4AM. I ate in the restaurant each night. I wish there were more salad options. I tried to choose healthy meals but it was not easy. Wish hotel had gym facilities.

Pros:

I liked the scenery, food and drinks were good and staff was ok

Cons:

The rooms are a little to small, we were both struggling to walk around the bed! Also when we got there, we noticed it wasn't the cleanest but far from the worst! As soon as we got to our room, we noticed hairs on our clean towels, the bed side tables were dusty etc

Pleasant overnight stay .
Pros:

We have stayed quite a few times and always enjoy our stays. Lovely room with shower which I had requested . The outside patio area is lovely to sit with a drink and the weather was great so very welcome to be able to sit overlooking the river.

Cons:

The bed we had sloped a bit which made it difficult to get comfy.
We always eat in the restaurant and usually happy with the meals and it was disappointing this time to have quite tough chicken in my burger.
