“The Bridge House has a certain quiet charm, particularly with those rooms overlooking the river - a definite worth-while upgrade. I found the staff to be consistently friendly and helpful, and the car park, while plentiful, felt secure with its gated system. It strikes me as a practical, comfortable choice, especially given its proximity to the airport and the appealing carvery.”
