Guests say
Bridge House is a well-situated cottage in York, appreciated for its comfortable beds and relaxing sitting room. Guests enjoy the outdoor seating and proximity to local amenities. While some find it cosy and charming, others note it could benefit from redecoration and maintenance. The lack of Wi-Fi is a concern for business travellers.
Several reviews mention the need for better cleanliness, with reports of a dirty cooker, microwave, fridge, and dusty surfaces. Bedding was noted as musty by one guest, suggesting a need for improvement.
The location is consistently praised for its convenience to local attractions and amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring North Yorkshire.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the sitting room relaxing. However, some wear and tear is noted, indicating that comfort could be enhanced with updates.
The property offers appreciated facilities like multiple shower rooms and a well-equipped kitchen, but guests also report a need for maintenance and technological updates, such as Wi-Fi.
While a welcome pack is mentioned positively in one review, there is insufficient information to assess overall thoughtfulness consistently across reviews. As such, any mention of gifts should be considered a pleasant surprise rather than an expectation.

The house is in a great location, the house proportions are good, however what stops this property from being a much higher recommendation in our opinion is its total need for a top to bottom, front to back, redecoration and some attention to basic maintenance.

Wir haben uns von Anfang sehr wohl im Bridgehaus gefühlt. Tolle Lage am Ortsrand. Helmsley bietet alles was man braucht und es ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für alle möglichen Aktivitäten vom Wandern, ans Meer oder Sightseeing.
