What a gem...just had a perfect night away from the kids @ Wayford Bridge Inn. Firstly the staff are the best. So friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. We had a fab garden room with a great view. Everything was 5*...great bed, great shower, TV, decor, comfort...I could go on. Food was superb both evening meal and breakfast. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this Inn. I know I've said this before but the staff are incredible and deserve much praise.

Wonderful Wayford. Haven't been in a while then went twice in 1 week! Lovely friendly staff, always welcoming, good service. Good selection of drinks and meal options including a chefs specials board. Tables are spaced out, the whole place looks and feels clean. Plenty of customer parking, dog friendly. My only criticism is that I was cold, they no longer have the real fires, although they look like burning log fires I went and sat next to it to warm up then realised it was stone cold with no obvious ways to switch the heat on! Next visit i will wear more layers!! Still love this place and will

The dinner menu was limited and although the pies were nice the rest of the menu choices were old fashioned and lacked imagination. The breakfast had obviously been left for a while, bacon was dry and hard,fried bread was not crisp but soggy and uneatable. Most of the staff were helpful but a smile would help.
