Overview
In the heart of Yorkshire, just a short drive from Leeds, Harrogate and York, is where you'll discover the beautiful Bridge Hotel & Spa. A 17th century coaching inn surrounded by a tranquil countryside setting, this lovely dog-friendly hotel is the perfect place to rest, relax and renew.

When you're not enjoying a dining experience like no other, unwind within the spa and let the team take care of you with a range of treatments available.

Easy Access from A1
Nice hotel, lovely friendly staff, room comfortable and clean, big walk in shower. Easy access from A1. Staff in the restaurant were very friendly, starters were delicious, main course carvery was not that good, have had better in many pubs. The meat and veg were over cooked and not particularly hot but the very generous glasses of red wine helped ease the disappointment! Maybe the A-la carte menu would be better.
