Bridgeview Hotel Bar + Dining

We tend to come here with favourite grandchildren and family cause it has ample room for the wee ones to physically run around, eventually joining other dining group's sprigs doing the same. The grilled octopus slide well with the prawns and bits of speck, marinated in apple cider. Char-grilled Scott fillet satisfies most of the adults coming with mash that the wee ones don't mind mucking into. It's noisy but that is perfect with so many happy sprigs around. The fillet of salmon deserves plaudits as well. Tables are vacuumed swiftly, plates and cutlery replaced quickly.

This place is a good option for the more budget focused person. We chose it because it had free parking and everywhere charges stupid amounts for parking on top of the price of the room. Hopefully they will keep it that way as it's literally the reason we chose here! The place is really nice, we kept extending our stay and so we were in three different rooms. I would say the second floor (Heritage rooms) are nicer and the bathrooms up there are better. There is a kitchen with iron, hairdryer, foil ect which is SO useful! The cleaning team do such a good job, everything is spotless after they have been round and they are friendly too. The wifi did work most of the time well but was a bit slow/went off at random times on occasion. Overall I would recommend staying here.

Good variety on the menu, and great 'specials' nights. My favourite is the 250g steak. It's really consistently cooked and is a good serving size with the chips and salad.

I stayed here for 5 days and found it to be fantastic value for money. Loved my simple but spacious and tasteful room in a very convenient location. Great food (a bit on the expensive side) and friendly staff. Kicking myself for not finding this place sooner. Will definitely stay here again!Room would have been perfect with an extra blanket and a larger heater.

The last time i booked this hotel was superb. Which is why I booked again for Saturday night 1st April ( forgot it was April Fools Day!) We arrived around lunchtime, and were told the room will be ready in 15 minutes. Half an hour later, after eating there and playing pool, we asked again to be told, just another 15 minutes. 1 hour later, when we asked about the room, we were told about another half an hour! Going by the size of the rooms, I doubt they were telling me the truth. We ended up telling them we were leaving to find somewhere else with no response from the staff. After booking into somewhere else, I got a text saying my room would be ready in another 15 minutes !!!!!
