Many guests say that the Bridge is the perfect place to recharge since it's quite a distance away from city life and the property lacks a mobile phone signal. Others love the serenity of the area and the rolling terrain makes for a perfect low impact hike.
Some guests praise the hotel for being pet-friendly and note that designated rooms for guests with pets are well-kept and do not have an unpleasant “dog” smell.
Several guests note that hotel staff is accommodating and friendly, and that many speak several different languages. Others mention that the staff is friendly and accommodating not just to human guests, but to pets as well.
Several guests say that the extractor fans from the kitchen hum incessantly during the day and the bustle of the kitchen permeates to the rooms above. Others note that public areas, other than the restaurant and bar, are unusually cold.
Most guests comment that the dinner dress code in the restaurant is a little too formal and that the four-course dinner leaves room for improvement. Others suggest visiting the walker's bar first since a rotating menu is available and the atmosphere is more casual.
Some guests note that the on site manager can be more accommodating to guests by asking about special dietary needs or instructions upon check in. Others feel printed updates about sudden changes in hotel hours would be more effective than if only a verbal update is given.
