Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Bridge House Restaurant And Hotel is highly valued for its convenient location near Alton Towers and Uttoxeter train station. Guests appreciate the cosy and modern rooms, which often feature large, comfortable beds; however, some found certain rooms to be on the smaller side. The on-site Thai restaurant, with its home-cooked food prepared by Benny, is a highlight for many, and a lovely garden by the river adds to the charm. Ollie ensures smooth check-ins, sometimes even providing early-morning breakfast trays.

beautiful location happy staff uncomfortable bed poor dinner
the location was indeed beautiful. i also really loved the staff, they were very cute and happy.
the bed was quite uncomfortable. it reminded me of it was collapsing onto itself. also, they couldn't accommodate us for dinner downstairs and did not make much of an effort in this regard!

nice getaway experience

fantastic proximity tea selection really good food efficient staff
I found the location offered a fantastic proximity to alton towers. I was impressed! the room included a great little tea selection, a detail i certainly noticed. the in-house thai restaurant provided really good food. the staff were efficient and very friendly. overall, i enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. It was decorated to a high standard.
The room had a slightly weird chemical spray. It seemed like the kind you usually find in an industrial toilet, and it sprayed every half hour, i found this a little grim.

Excellent Stay Near Alton Towers

close proximity smooth check-in lovely breakfast
The hotel is close to Alton Towers. The drive was only five minutes. The staff member named Benny cooked a lovely breakfast. Ollie ensured a smooth check-in. I found a breakfast tray when I left very early.
The hotel did not accommodate us for dinner. We had to get a takeaway instead. I think it's not ideal considering the room cost per night.
