Breakfast
Guests staying at Bridge Farm Guesthouse rooms have highlighted the absence of breakfast as a notable aspect of their experience. Many expressed a desire for a breakfast option to be available, noting that it could enhance their stay. While the fact that breakfast is not provided was made clear in advance, some guests still felt a breakfast service would have been a beneficial addition. Despite this, the guesthouse does offer amenities like a microwave and fridge, which some guests appreciated for preparing their own morning meals. The location of the guesthouse received positive remarks, but the lack of breakfast and certain facilities, such as real mugs instead of paper cups, were common points of feedback. Overall, providing breakfast could significantly improve the guest experience at this otherwise well-situated property.
Dinner
Bridge Farm Guesthouse offers comfortable and simple rooms, making for a pleasant stay. While there are no dining options available directly on the premises, guests have several alternatives nearby. A lovely Italian restaurant and a nice pub are both within walking distance, providing convenient dining options. Additionally, there's a garage/pub close by for snacks and meals.
For those who prefer takeaways, it's easy to get some food, though bringing cutlery might be necessary. However, caution is advised when buying food from the petrol station across the road, as it can be quite expensive. Overall, while on-site dinner options are lacking, the nearby eateries make up for this shortcoming.

Guests frequently highlight the efficiency of the check-in process and the convenience of included parking.

The comfy beds and ample supply of tea, coffee and milk add to the comfort. Guests appreciate the warmth and coziness of the rooms, noting that they are well-maintained and tidy.

However, some guests mention that the rooms can feel cramped, particularly for couples or longer stays with the space being more suited to solo travelers or brief stopovers. Issues like occasional weird smells, mould patches in bathrooms or minor maintenance oversights are reported, but these seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.

Comfort levels varied with some praising the mattresses and bedding for providing a good night's sleep, while others criticized the beds for being too soft, unstable or creaky.

Staff
Bridge Farm Guesthouse showcases a blend of self-service and intermittent personalized attention. The majority of guests appreciate the friendly and helpful nature of the staff, commending their commitment to ensuring a comfortable stay. Communication with the owner is often cited as good and guests have praised the staff they interacted with either in person or over the phone.
However, the guesthouse operates predominantly on a self-check-in basis, meaning there is often no staff on site. Some visitors found this lack of physical presence problematic, particularly in situations requiring immediate assistance, such as finding a room or dealing with emergencies like a fire alarm. There were also concerns about accountability and response times for issues that arose during their stay.
While many guests found the self-service aspect convenient, it led to mixed feelings about the overall service quality. Some experienced poor service and communication with a noted lack of face-to-face interactions. Nonetheless, when staff were available, they were described as very helpful, flexible and kind, contributing positively to the guest experience.
In conclusion, while the self-service model suits some, the absence of on-site staff can detract from the guest experience for others. Those expecting or requiring more traditional hospitality services may find this setup less satisfactory.
Wi-Fi

Notably, several reviewers mentioned missing or hard-to-find WiFi passwords and weak signals that sometimes failed to establish an internet connection at all. Certain areas, such as the breakfast area and specific cabins, had connectivity issues with some guests noting they had no internet until just before checkout. Despite these inconsistencies, the WiFi overall received praise from guests who managed to access it without issues, emphasizing its usefulness and strength when properly connected.

Guests frequently praise the ample parking available right outside the rooms and many appreciate the convenience of parking close to their accommodations. The accessibility to Bristol and other locations is a bonus, making it a practical choice for those with cars. Additionally, the grounds and parking area are described as attractive and welcoming.
Despite the generally favorable remarks, some guests found parking to be a challenge when the guesthouse is fully booked. Situations where the car park was full, tight parking spaces and a chaotic car park were mentioned, indicating that it might be tricky to find a spot during busy times. However, for the most part, the availability and ease of parking make it a strong point for the guesthouse, ensuring that guests can enjoy their stay without the hassle of parking fees or long walks to their rooms.
