Bridge House ***Set in the heart of beautiful Beaminster (Hardy`s Emminster) and surrounded by stunning countryside, this 700 year-old former priest’s house is steeped in history and character. With crackling log fires in centuries-old inglenooks, stone mullioned windows, oak beams and candles, here you can relax without fuss or hurry in an environment that is both ancient and modern. While the building may be Medieval, its interior and facilities are entirely up to date. Refurbished public areas, new bathrooms throughout and investment in new technology, such as Wi-fi, ensure the Bridge House is firmly in the 21st Century while maintaining the hotel’s stunning original features. Within easy reach of Dorset`s fossil paradise, the Jurassic Coast, during your stay you can explore many sites of natural beauty, including Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and Lyme Regis. During the summer, there is al fresco dining in the terrace and garden. The AA Rosette restaurant provides more formal dining, with dishes specialising in local fish and meat. With its beautiful walled garden, the hotel remains at the heart of Beaminster - one of the best-placed Dorset towns. Deep in Thomas Hardy’s Wessex, the hotel is also on the doorstep of a World Heritage Site - The Jurassic Coast, with its 95 miles of unspoiled coastline, crammed with 185 million years of fossil history. An ideal location for walking holidays in Dorset, Bridge House shares the same stretch of the River Brit made famous by Channel 4’s ‘River Cottage’ series and is surrounded by some of Dorset’s most spectacular countryside The hotel is situated just 50 yards from Beaminster square on the Bridport to Crewkerne road. Here a wealth of small, independent shops, pubs and cafes make it lively and interesting and a great place just to wander, browse and enjoy the traditional, Dorset, hamstone buildings. The hotel can also arrange local activities and adventures such as fossil hunting along the Jurassic Coastline, Llama Trekking, guided walks through Thomas Hardy country, walks with local poets, RIB hire at Lyme Regis, tour of the local brewery or an evening of wine tasting.
