Excellent for the price I paid. Rooms have recently been renovated and it showed. The only niggles were that the extractor fan in the bathroom was very noisy and probably needs replacing (room 10) and there was no hot water: I tried to have a shower but couldn't: No matter how long you ran the tap for or in which position the water never got warm. Would definitely stay there again. Big thank you to Jamie who so very kindly let me check in early.

Moved from the bull to the shepherds rest as an upgrade prior to arrival. Out of 4 rooms (party of 4), rooms 10 and room 4 no heating. The bull may have better but Iā€™d avoid the shepherds rest. Also none of the TVs worked in any of the 4 rooms and Wi-Fi password not shared. A shame as the rooms were fine even if the showers are a little small. Place was clean and obviously has been invested in.

Really nice place, but the double bed was shocking. No support in the mattress soft and spring sticking in to your body. It was a shame the bed was so poor and let the experience down.

Really basic room. The shower is in the corner of the room and it's shared toilet. No wardrobe. Just a few kitchen cupboards. Location is excellent and the staff are lovely.

The property is above/next to a pub. The pub in itself is a great atmosphere and everyone there is friendly and welcoming and they have a sister property at the Shepherds rest which I have stayed at previously. The rooms at the Bull on the Bridge are decorated really stylishly and they have blackout curtains. I got put into a room and one thing I noticed was the available plug socket was mid wall without a shelf, originally placed so In reach of the TV, I managed to balance my chargers. I also couldn't seem to make the hot water work in the shower, I messaged the accomodation account and later in the day Jamie kindly moved me to a different room quickly without fuss. The new room was 10/10, very spacious, and cosy with a fireplace and I managed to get a good night's sleep and a hot shower. the place overall Very accomodating and a great place to stay.

beware

the bed was rock hard , the access to the room which wasn't very clean and had cardboard blocking off the open fire place ,was up two narrow flights of stairs . You could hear all the road noise through the single pane windows. parking was on the street behind the hotel ,on a fist come first serve basis . when i first looked at the hotel im sure it was Ā£ 83 . but when i went through all the confirming stages, paid and then got a reciept it was Ā£100. I wont be using Hotels. com again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely the worst experience

It was the worseā€™s experience I have ever had. Very loud, Karaoke u could hear in your room. A drunken customer smashed the fire alarm, going off 1am in the morning. My granddaughter was staying with me who was very distressed!. After that People drunk then outside very loud to the point i told the to be quiet then go get abuse. Windows not safe as they were old sash so dangerous and could hear even the busy road even when they were closed. Contacted the management who would not answer my call or move us to another room. Got a txt message to say he had told them to move. The room was disgusting bathroom so small you couldnā€™t get dryed without opening the sliding door. The room was unsafe Peice of wood put under side table to stop from falling which had a kettle on for tea and coffee!! No tv but a bracket on the wall which I banged my head. I could go on. It should be shut down I am absolutely devastated and spoiled my break away. Do not book!!!

Pack your sense of humour!

I didnā€™t stay here although I had booked and no one notified me that the hotel was actually closed! I booked it as it appeared on the website to be close to the station, so I walked with my bag and suitcase from the stationā€¦ I sat in the derelict beer garden on the pavement side of the hotel. I phoned the number on the web, to be told by a polite young lady that her colleague would call me. He did call to say I had been ā€œupgradedā€ to the sister hotel due to flooding in some rooms. He tried to explain how to get to the ā€œsisterā€ hotelā€¦ which was the shepherds rest. He ordered a taxi, the taxi driver certainly could not speak or understand English šŸ˜³.. I told him the hotel would pay, but he insisted that I paid, and wouldnā€™t accept Scottish currency despite the fact that it is legal tender in the UK. The Shepherds rest only deserves a mention because Jamie tries his very best! If I ran a business I would employ someone like him! He did give me a complimentary drink, considering I paid for the taxi. I asked if I could have supper there.. he asked if I had brought food as they have no restaurant!! I certainly did not have the energy to walk into the Center of town at Sowerby Bridgeā€¦ so I gave supper a miss. The smart TV was goodā€¦ I couldnā€™t close the velux style window and hoped it wouldnā€™t rain on the newly refurbished ā€œupgradedā€ room. If I didnā€™t have a sense of humour I would be furiousā€¦ cest La vie!!! Highly recommend Jamieā€¦ niether hotel though, sadlyā€¦
Tiny narrow bathroom
The window that wouldnā€™t clise
