The Bridge Inn

No room for improvement

Pros: The whole experience was fantastic and great value for money Staff brilliant food outstanding and beds very comfortable... Great variation

Cons: Going home

I was apprehensive before arrival but in the end my expectations were far exceeded and we loved it.

Pros: The breakfast in the morning was very good, fresh and plentiful. We were the only guests and still a superb spread was provided. The cooked breakfast was prompt and excellently cooked. The evening meal prior was excellent home cooking too. The pub is a traditional pub, frequented by friendly locals. The room was clean warm and well provided. It was homely rather than modern and 'sleak'. The location was very special by a historic bridge and opposite a magnificent Norman church.

Cons: We would have preferred an earlier breakfast, but in the end it did not matter and the service was prompt.

Walking break

Pros: Lovely breakfast and evening meals.Very friendly staff and always helpful.Excellent location for getting out and about.

Cons: It was a bit cool in the property but probably to be expected in a very old building

Pros: We really enjoyed our stay here. The beds were really comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring we had a well heated room to dry our things after a wet walk. The location is great and the breakfast too. What a great pub and the perfect stop on our Coast to Coast walk.

Pros: Everything was excellent. Lovely staff, clean rooms and fantastic food. The breakfast is enormous and plenty of it.

Cons: There was nothing not to like. Brilliant stay

Perfect retreat

Pros: A delightful local Inn, with a regular friendly clientele, including a very amiable dog! The staff were without exception brilliant, especially when I had an accident nd fell, cut my head badly. Dawn called an ambulance and stayed with me until it came. She len my Fringe her phone and looked after her while I was at the hospital overnight, and assured us that we could stay until my son came to collect us. She and Matt were calm and helpful all the time. The food was excellent, the portions generous, and they went out of their way to give us what we wanted. The bedroom was pleasant, with an excellent en-suite. Te village itself is delightful, the church very impressive, a Bookstore with honesty box, and a short distance away a Bike shop with a brilliant cafe - delicious soup and cakes. A wonderful place to chill out and explore Swaledale.

Cons: Not their fault, but a bit chilly away from the lovely fire in the bar. Snow and high winds made It an adventure just walking around the village!

Pros: Lovely pub and rooms, excellent breakfast and friendly staff.

Cons: There wasn’t anything to dislike. Be aware though that there if you bring a dog with you there is an extra £15 charge (this wasn’t shared when booking via booking.com)

I may well visit again.

Pros: The pub was very friendly. Dinner was pleasant, breakfast excellent. The location is delightful. It was exceptionally dog friendly!

Cons: My mattress was a bit on the hard side, though I do like a soft surface, and had an emergency topper with me, so it wasn't a problem.

Grinton
