The BridgeHouse Hotel is both a cosy medieval country retreat and a chic Dorset luxury hotel. Imagine yourself settling in by the crackling log fire as dusk turns to darkness through the stone-mullioned windows and the soothing glow of candle light illuminates the centuries-old oak beams. Here you are surrounded by beautiful countryside, a tapestry of history and only minutes from an ancient, heritage-listed coastline. BridgeHouse's 13 bedrooms are plush yet elegant, classic yet very contemporary. Individually-designed, the rooms feature stylish period furniture and lighting, intricate wallpaper, Egyptian cotton linen, Molton Brown toiletries and flat screen TVs. The BridgeHouse Hotel's acclaimed restaurant draws upon the region's wealth of freshly caught fish, organic meat, fruit and vegetables to offer a rare blend of contemporary fine dining and timeless Dorset recipes. Or enjoy exquisite modern British cuisine with an international touch complemented by a bottle of wine from Austria or Sicily, or sample the hotel's freshly-baked bread and home-made truffles. With its beautiful walled garden, the BridgeHouse is in the heart of quaint and lively Beaminster. Deep in spectacular countryside immortalised as Thomas Hardy's Wessex, the hotel is also on the doorstep of the World Heritage-listed Jurassic Coast - 95 miles of unspoiled coastline crammed with 185 million years of fossil history.
