This was the latest of several stays we have had at The Bridge, although there has a been a too long gap of a few years. The hotel is in a perfect location and makes a great base for many outstanding walks without having to move the car. Haystacks, Red Pike, High Stile are local peaks as well as easy... More

We stayed in one of the lower ground apartments and it was absolutely perfect in every way. Well set out, well equiped, clean and very comfortable. We ate in the bar a couple of times and the food was excellent - as was the friendly and professional service. Could not recommend the Bridge Hotel highly enough. More

Just spent two days in the most fabulous hotel. Great restaurant and bar food. Very clean and lovely bedroom with magnificant views of the Buttermere valley. Bar serves really fine local ales and a fantastic range of single malt whiskies (was I dreaming and in Scotland???). All the staff were absolutely lovely, very helpful and professional: not in the least... More

We have stayed at the Bridge hotel on several occasions and have always had a fabulous time, the food is excellent and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. This time we chose to stay in one of the apartments on a special offer, it was a wonderful stay. After a hard day's walking around the Buttermere and surrounding area... More

A recent return visit (February 2012) confirmed what a lovely place this is. Location, rooms, food and friendly, unobtrusive service all remind us that we should support such establishments to ensure their survival. The "bargain breaks" are excellent value when available. We'll be back ... again. PS Why go to Scotland? More

Happened to stumble on The Bridge in a days travels. The staff were very friendly and helpful while not being overbearing. The room was right for us, clean and comfortable without the sterility of a modern hotel. The evening meal was the best I've had in England hands down. Every course was a pleasure and we lingered 'til after 10:00... More

Buttermere is a wonderful place, I travel there constantly, living only an hour and a half away. There is next to nothing in Buttermere (except some of the most stunning countryside in the world)! Very few resisdents,only 2 little cafes both linked to farms - with staff who sometimes are resentful of tourists ... which is an odd attitude for... More

We stopped in Buttermere for a weekend and were going to visit the Bridge to eat after a long days walk as it had been recommended to us. We visited on Friday evening just for a drink and to check out the food menu (which to be fair looked very good). We enjoyed a drink then went to ask the... More

Have just had a four night break at at the Bridge. We were amazed at the standard of the food in the restaurant on each night we stayed there. The room was spacious and individual, it looked as though it had been refurbished. We stayed with friends whose room was also great. Staff friendly and help ful in particular Paul... More
