Simon and Paula
Hello. We arrived late in the evening to discover that the the convector heater in the main bedroom was broken and the room was very cold. The heater in the kitchen broke after two days. We spoke to the owner and he did eventually send somebody round, but they still didn't work. The owner never spoke to us about this until we were leaving. So 2 rooms were cold, all week. The stairs were steep but a good hand rail. Nice garden but lawn covered in dog pooh. The rent did not include electricity which had to be bought using an electric meter and feeding it endlessly with 1 pound coins. Despite being out every day and being very careful with usage, electricity still cost us about 50 pounds for the week, which we are not very happy about. Once we actually switched off all the electricity, including the heaters and the fridge, but the meter was still going down rapidly At about 1p every 2 minutes.

We have been going to bridge house for many years now ,it's the most relaxing place we have managed to find. It's always clean and tidy when we get there and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. The cut at the bottom of the garden is always full of fish to be caught although mainly small rudd with the odd larger ones . It's a perfect place as a base for exploring the local beaches and towns . I would highly recommend this place if you want a quiet relaxing holiday.

My family and I had a wonderful week. It really is a good place to get your family back to talking to each other (especially in today world of mobile phone ect).We saw many animals up close and personal which was definately an experience. My son especially loved using the row boat provider. Would definately recommend
