Empowering Care Through Quality Staffing Solutions
Welcome to The Bridge House Hotel, a tranquil riverside retreat beautifully situated on the River Stour. Our family-run hotel is the perfect chance to relax and unwind, surrounded by picturesque scenery and a variety of wildlife. We are nestled in the heart of Dorset countryside, just 5 miles from Bournemouth, Poole, and Wimborne, making us the ideal location for exploring the local area.
Our History
The Bridge House Hotel has a rich history dating back to the 1920s when it was originally a farm owned by the Elliots. Over the years, the hotel has changed hands several times, with each owner leaving their mark on the property. In the 1960s, Telly Savalas, the famous actor, even owned the hotel for a period. Today, we are independently owned and have undergone a 2 million-pound refurbishment, transforming us into the beautiful hotel you see today.
