If your looking for something a little different then The Bridge House might be just for you!
My unusual 2 bedroom home was built on a bridge spanning the River Ardle in 1881.
Charming original features including stone spiral stairs, traditional Scottish timber clad walls, stone/pine flooring and even a privy directly over the river below!
Recently renovated.
Quiet, peaceful and rural location.
Pretty views from every window.
Sauna.
Category A listed.
The space
The adventure begins as you enter my front door with a winding stone spiral staircase leading upto The Bridge House.
The top of the stairs opens into the conservatory dining room.
From here you can access the little bedroom and kitchen/sittingroom.
The little bedroom has a small double bed, great views upriver and a quirky privy from olden days!
The kitchen sitting room is surrounded by traditional scottish timber clad walls and floor. It has a cosy log burning stove and pretty views downriver. The kitchen is fully fitted with everything you need.
From the kitchen sittingroom you access the romantic master bedroom with kingsize 4 poster, smart TV, ornamental fireplace and fitted mini wardrobes. I hope you'll sleep as well as I do with the peaceful sound of the river below.
The bathroom has a choice of shower or bath.
There are stone walkways all around The Bridge House with magical views down to the river below. They connect with the veranda seating area nestled in the castellations and a small sauna in a mini stone 'outbuilding'.
Guest access
Garden up river is shared with the stable apartment.
Other things to note
There is another completely separate 2 bedroom apartment in the stables just over the bridge. It is completely detached apart from a stone walkway which is only used if the two units are rented as one (4 bedroom).
Due to the upper walkway walls being only 1 meter high in places we do recommend bringing children unless the are kept an eye on at all times.
The little bedroom has a small double bed (120cm wide). Comfy and cosy but can be tight for two.
There is a charge per pet per booking (not always pets accepted or any pets accepted)

| Caitlin | 5 years on Airbnb | https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/user/682876e3-3c43-41bf-81d8-14d64c071ca3.jpg?im_w=240 | 5 | 5 days ago | It’s an honour to have met Mimi, the bridge house is exceptional, very clean,cosy and tranquil. I have severe anxiety I’ve never felt as calm as I did at the Bridge house. Mimi as a host made sure we were very well looked after nothing was too much for her. When we came she was our host now we are home she is a friend! We cannot wait to go back ! | |||

Staying in a house on a historic bridge was a unique experience. The house has everything you need. Mimi is a great host. Thanks for everything! | |||
| Steph | 7 years on Airbnb | https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/user/68d46b6c-67f4-44d8-bec2-275561b68fbe.jpg?im_w=240 | 4 | 2 weeks ago | We have recently got back from a lovely stay at this stunning property. The building is as beautiful in the photos and very peaceful. It was lovely and warm, perfect when you’ve spent a day up in the hills! The only things which could have improved our stay which other reviews have also picked up on is the lack of a welcome book/guide with instructions in. This would be really helpful for things like the oven, coffee machine, sauna etc (especially photos of the dials) as weren’t able to get it to work although the host did send us several instructions once we messaged which was very helpful. I think this could save them some hassle but also not every guest may want to message the hosts everytime there is a hitch and may just muddle through. A few really small improvements would really top off this beautiful property (rusty microwave, cobwebs in bathroom, dead flowers, replace bedroom remote with button missing). Overall we would recommend, thanks for being good hosts too! | |||
| Renee | Belton, Texas | None | 5 | 2 weeks ago | The pictures do not do this property justice! It was absolutely beautiful inside and out. Our host was truly the sweetest and so very helpful with lots of local suggestions! | |||
| Harry | 1 month on Airbnb | None | 3 | 3 weeks ago | The bridge house leaves A LOT to be desired. It looks lovely from the outside but the inside was a different story. It was annoying to have to be charged a cleaning fee of almost 80£ but still have to wash & dry dishes and take the trash to the road. The place was obviously in the process of being updated but lacked the characteristic charm one would expect for this price. Small amenities such as a selection of tea or coffee would have been nice. The towels had a musty odor as well as the bedding material. For the price I would expect more than just a charming exterior. | Mimi | 1 week ago | We do not charge £80 for cleaning we or almost we charge £65 so but if we have to wash your dishes, care for your rubbish maybe we will consider offering some guests extra services in future?You've messaged me saying thank you for a ‘comfortable stay’ and that in your words then put a review like this ? after so many issues? Puzzled by this. We have over 1200 reviews it is definitely in our interest happy guests! And a lot of previous guests do not share your views |
| Michael | 5 years on Airbnb | None | 5 | February 2025 | We are just back from a 4 night stay at the bridge house and i can honstly say you wont be disappointed if you book this truly unique property for yourselves. This was a surprise birthday present for my partner and she loved it from the second she walked up the spiral staircase to the moment we left. Its a magical place and very comfortable. The hrating and lighting were on when we arrived on a cold, wet sunday and we felt the cosy atmosphere right away. The pics dont do it justice so if youre trying to decide if its for you just book, you wont be disappointed, unless you dont like peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings..

| Donna | 3 years on Airbnb | None | 5 | February 2025 | Excellent location for walking, unique accommodation | |||
| Rachel | 7 years on Airbnb | None | 5 | February 2025 | Fairytale stay in a beautiful location. Would recommend | |||
| Rob | 4 years on Airbnb | None | 5 | February 2025 | Had a wonderful two night stay at the Bridge House. It really is as fairytale as it looks. Miriam is the perfect host and was friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The Bridge House is well equipped and is warm and cosy. We cooked both nights and ate together at the table which was perfect for the four of us. We all slept soundly in the silence, but enjoyed making to birdsong. There is lots of wildlife including red squirrels, birds of prey and lots of signs of activity in the water. We loved our time here and can't wait to return | |||
| Peter | 4 months on Airbnb | None | 5 | February 2025 | So peaceful, and I would love to come again, will definitely look into booking both parts of the building (cottage and the bridge house) with friends.. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a a quite getaway for a few nights to book this house. Thanks for having us Mimi |
