Must stay!
Absolutely charming little inn, great food, my room had everything I needed and more, including usb slots in the main plug socket, very useful. Really clean, nice and warm and the bed was so comfortable! Great stay, couldn’t ask for more

We visit most years and always enjoy it. The bar/restaurant is also great (the salmon linguine was superb!)

Would not go back
Service was awful. Staff were just plan outright rude. One response during breakfast, in response to when a customer said "excuse me" to the waiter, was "no, Ill speak to you later". I moved a cup at breakfast and the waiter said to me "I've had to replace that cup to you moved". Only one place comes to mind when describing The Bridge In. Fawlty Towers, and the waiter is like Basil.

Lovely pub.. only stayed one night but had a lovely relaxing evening accompanied by great food and drink. Breakfast was really nice too.
Need a car as there’s not much in the area but a great base for walkers.

Just stayed one night, was given a room that is designed to accommodate wheelchair access, so spacious and with a big bathroom. Enjoyed the nachos with chilli, and the beef and ale pie which were excellent, as was the cooked breakfast. Good choice of local ales at the bar. All in all very comfortable and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Overall it was a comfortable room that was generally clean. Bit tired looking, food was just ok. Didn’t think it quite warranted the high score on Hotels.com

Great ‘all-round’ stay Bridge Inn thanks ;)
Great ‘all-round’ stay really. My reason for this trip was to do some decent hiking & go up the famous Scafell Pike. Since I was travelling solo by train & foot it was a nice middle ground between coast & fells/mountains to rest & eat lovely food. Even more so every single member of staff were brilliant that’s it thankyou I will return :)

Favourite place in Santon Bridge!
Special place to stay in a stunning location.
Plenty space to park up, and easy going accommodation that can be accessed even when I arrive late after work.
