Gibbon Bridge Hotel

From 17/02/2025 to 21/02/2025 The Staff were first rate and could not do enough for us. The Accommodation was also first rate. The Food both Breakfast and Dinner was excellent. Overall I would rate this hotel as one of the best I have had the pleasure to stay at.

The rooms which we were allocated were badly in need of total refurbishment. We don't think the rooms have been refurbished since the hotel was built 42 years ago, it is a shame since the area is outstanding. We will be visiting again but we will not stay at the Gibbon Bridge As a last thought all of the prices at the Gibbon Bridge are exorbitant.

Having read the reviews here, we were looking forward to our two night stay, however, left feeling hugely let down and disappointed. The photos of bedrooms on the hotel website bore no relation at all to the two rooms we were allocated. Those photos depicted colourful styled rooms. We were allocated room 8, a ‘greige’ dull, extremely old fashioned room and my husband and I laughed when we first saw it. Is this what we had paid close to £300 for our two night treat away. We both said we couldn’t stay in there, and tried calling reception. Phone didn’t work. So we traipsed back down and asked to be allocated a different room, there being only a suite available for our two night stay. We paid a small amount extra to ‘upgrade’. Room 12 was much larger but equally depressing with old fashioned tired furniture, a stained carpet and a bed which we had to re-make because the duvet was bunched up on one side inside the cover. The staff were all very pleasant, and the garden looked beautiful but it is a shame that the same level of attention had not been applied to the bedrooms and bathrooms. Hotel stays should be a treat, somewhere exciting to stay away from one’s own four walls but we were disappointed and chose to get up early at 4.30am to head home on our second night.
