Top Dorset Hotel Reviews

The Bridge House, BW Signature Collection

The Bridge House, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good
"Lovely quiet room overlooking the river at the back of the hotel. Hanging and storage space was limited, but not a problem as we were only staying in the hotel 2 nights, We ate dinner in the hotel each night, but sadly that was a big let down. Beef Bourguignon and lemon meringue pie were far from what we expected, such a shame. Breakfast was adequate, but not extensive. A big plus is the electric vehicle charging points, so easy to charge our EV overnight. A very convenient hotel on the outskirts of Bournemouth, we were very happy with our stay, just let down by the food."
