Unfortunately, we were made to feel very unwelcome from the outset. Despite informing our host that we were travelling with our baby, she informed as upon arrival that "the other guests [an older couple] don't like babies, so if your daughter screams or cries, could you please take her outside?" She also cleared food from our baby's highchair before she had finished eating, "otherwise it gets on the floor" (which was anyway covered in dust and dog hair). I fully understand people not liking children and not being comfortable with them in their home, but if that is the case, they should not be running a B&B, or at least one that claims to be "family friendly". To accept our booking - and our money - and then treat our presence as an imposition (at best) is to my mind inexcusable. If we had had somewhere else to go, we would have left immediately. As it was, we spent a stressful night creeping about the place, trying to pacify our daughter, before making a speedy getaway in the morning. As the positive reviews attest, Bridge Cottage may be a pleasant place to stay as a solo traveller or a couple. The property itself is characterful, and the location pleasant. Note: It is much more of a homestay than a B&B - there are no locks on the rooms, the bathrooms are separate, and there is a lot of "clutter". Very little effort has been made to convert the place from a home into a B&B; there was a TV in our room, propped up on loose books, and an ancient, thimble-sized kettle, but barring that, this was just someone's spare room, complete with all their possessions. Again, some people may like this (I have enjoyed staying in such properties in Japan and Pakistan), but it should honestly be advertised as a homestay, and one should expect to act accordingly (i.e. as a guest in someone's home, not as a paying customer with certain rights and entitlements).

Location for the purpose of my stay. Room/Bathroom and Breakfast spot on.

In need of some TLC especially the grounds.

Bridge Cottage is a gem … we had a wonderful 2 night stay at Miranda’s lovely home…the bedroom & bathroom is a great size with all home comforts & it is so quiet & peaceful … plenty of tea and coffee and fresh milk which is always a bonus… there were bottles of water & biscuits in the room and were replenished daily… breakfast was fabulous & set us up for the day … it was freshly cooked to order with plenty of coffee / tea / toast & condiments …there are 2 pubs within walking distance and we had a lovely meal in The Greyhound ( booking is advisable ) … we will most certainly be returning to Bridge Cottage when we are staying in the area … Miranda made us feel very welcome & we left feeling very rested & relaxed

Peaceful. Surrounded by park but nearby beautiful villages and countryside. Host was so helpful and friendly. Loved our stay

Miranda laver en rigtig god morgenmad og er meget gavmild med at fylde op og servicere. Huset ligger i skøn natur, i stille omgivelser. Vi havde et stort, dejligt værelse med udsigt til den smukke have. Der er kort afstand til gode vandremuligheder i The South Downs, og der er 2 pubber i gåafstand, hvilket er et stort plus

Morgenmaden indtages i en havestue, hvor der kan være en del levende og døde insekter. Dette generede os en smule visse morgener. Hvis dette kunne undgås, vil det være et skønt sted at nyde den i øvrigt gode morgenmad. Vi ville også foretrække en rigtig dyne på sengen fremfor flere lag tæpper, der kludrer og kan genere nattesøvnen.

Sehr individuelle Unterkunft, liebevoll eingerichtet. Sehr ruhige Lage mitten in der Natur, Restaurant mit Garten in 20min zu Fuss oder 5min mit dem Auto.

Miranda was extremely attentive

Wij hadden voor 3 nachten geboekt, zijn na 1 nacht vertrokken.

Accomodatie is geen landhuis zoals in de beschrijving staat, maar een klein huis. Hygiene is ver te zoeken, vliegen (dood en levend), stof, spinnewebben, groezelig tafelkleed en matig schoon serviesgoed. Onze kamer had een bed van 1.40 breed, de badkamer was niet en-suite, wel prive. Dit was niet vermeld in de beschrijving. Er is een oude hond, niet opdringerig maar wel harend. Huis is ingericht met veel kleden op de grond en over meubilair wat niet bijdraagt aan de hygiene.
