The Explore
I'd been planning to spend a day in the North East for so long now, some friends to see up there and lots explores I wanted to get done... Finally we set off to hit a few and stopped at this hotel on the way.. while it might look nice and very clean from the pics the place stinks of stale booze and its pretty trashed in places now sadly.. good little stop on the way up to Durham though so cant complain
The History
Bridge House Hotel is a Grade I listed building, set alongside attractive gardens adjacent to the River Swale. The building was constructed sometime in the 15th Century and therefore provided a historic atmosphere inside and out. After being redeveloped into a hotel in the 1900s, the lower floors were converted into dining, bar and lounge areas. The upstairs was divided into bedrooms, and ensuite bathrooms were installed in each room. The hotel was popular as it is located close to the A1 road and Catterick Racecourse; it is also relatively close to the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the vibrant city of York. Unfortunately, however, a fire destroyed part of the building in 2014. Six fire crews were called to attend the scene after flames were spotted coming from the roof. The cause of the fire remains unknown, but no one was injured during the incident as the premises was closed as it was undergoing renovation.
