over the bridge - Sowerby Bridge

Team F. F. (.

A brilliant B&B.

Having stayed in hotels for many years, this B&B was booked as I was attending a wedding nearby.

It has changed my mind on staying in B&B again.

Trevor the owner and host was terrific, even when he tried to pull my leg with terrible jokes!

Fabulous old building with LOTS of character. Spotlessly clean, lovely and warm. Amazing breakfast and a host who couldn't do enough for you.

Lots of nice touches.... just going the extra mile.

As a solo women, I felt very safe.

I highly recommend.

If you're looking for a place that combines character, charm, and the warmest of welcomes, then stop scrolling because Over the Bridge Bed and Breakfast has nailed it.||From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by Trevor, the host-extraordinaire, who not only knows how to run a tight ship but also seems to have a lifetime membership to the Dad Jokes - let's pull your leg! ||The building itself? A true gem. Spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and brimming with character. Each little detail has been thought through with love and care that make you feel right at home. ||And then, there’s the breakfast. Oh, the cooked breakfast! Calling it “amazing” feels like doing it a disservice. Trevor has clearly mastered the art of morning cuisine. From the perfectly scrambled eggs to the toast that practically sang its way out of the toaster, every bite was delicious. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, Trevor’s dreadful one-liners kept me laughing (and cringing) through my second cup of coffee.||What really sets Over the Bridge apart, though, is the feeling that you’re not just another guest but a VIP in Trevor’s universe. The level of customer service was top-notch, dare I say, award-winning? It’s the little things that made all the difference: the warm smiles, the extra mile they go to make your stay special. ||So, would I cross this bridge again? Absolutely. And I’d bring friends, mainly because Trevor’s sense of humour deserves a wider audience. If you’re searching for a stay that ticks every box and then some, book Over the Bridge. Just make sure you’re ready for breakfast banter and an experience you’ll never forget.||Five stars aren’t enough. Let’s give Trevor six. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It was near our the wedding venue where we were guests. Trevor was an excellent host he was very accommodating. He let us check in early as we had to get dressed fort the wedding ceremony and reception. Breakfast was great. The bed was super comfy and room was clean cant fault them. Parking was no issue as well.|Tea and coffee making facilities

Just wow, everything was excellent from the location to the hospitality. All 5 star and beautiful. We were given a stunning bedroom, with all we needed including shower and bath products. The choices on the breakfast menu were outstanding, and very tasty. Superb hosts I can't praise this place enough, definitely worth a visit we will be back ❤️

Stayed at 'Over the Bridge' prior to a work meeting and had an excellent experience from booking until i left the beautiful B&B for my work meeting. ||Trevor was great and called me after the booking was accepted and offered advice on the best route to get to the B&B, the best parking given the bad weather and also how to locate the property once parked up. Parking is just outside and FREE too which was very handy.||On arrival i received a warm greeting and was told information about the B&B, local area and then shown to my room. It was a beautiful room, very spacious and tastefully decorated with a big comfortable bed. Trevor was keen that i was warm enough as the building is an old one, but it was absolutely fine. A desk for working, big tv and comfortable chairs for relaxing as well as tea and coffee making facilities were all perfect. The bathroom was cooler than the main room but very clean and had a superb view through a small window on to the river. Shower and other facilities were excellent and plenty of toiletries and clean towels supplied. ||I asked for advice on where to eat and the Old Bridge Inn some 30 yards away was recommended and my host booked me in for my chosen time whilst he was with me, which was going over and above and very efficient. ||The sleep was great, quiet area and the occasional chime of the church bell was the only real sounds. As stated the best was very warm with the good bedding and also mega comfortable. ||Breakfast the next day was consistent with the rest of the stay, very very good! Trevor's admission that he found poached eggs the hardest to get right was not backed up as it was one of the best i have had along with the rest of the quality breakfast. This was chosen the night before and bespoke preparation was a lovely touch. ||I did have a walk around the area after breakfast, with again some advice from the host. The walks are plentiful and there is some wonderful scenery in this gem of an area. Plenty of shops and pubs locally too depending on what you are looking for from your stay.||All in all pretty faultless and a great experience which prepared me well for my working day in Halifax. Thank you.

This was my wife and I’s second visit and I’m sorry to say I didn’t leave a review last time!! We were greeted by Trevor like old friends and we were pleased also to see Dexter the black lab in the greeting party too!! This gem of a bed and breakfast delivers everything that you need with charm and wit abundant. Nothing seems too much trouble for the hosts and the breakfast that is included is one of the best examples I’ve come across. As we left we said ‘See you again soon’ and we meant it!!
