Bridge Cottage

Bridge Cottage is one of the earliest cottages built in Richmond, constructed in the same year as the town’s iconic bridge. Made from convict bricks and standing proudly opposite the Richmond Bridge, it carries a deep sense of history.

Guests enter through a white picket gate, past a country garden, and up to the original stone steps, worn smooth by generations before. Stepping inside feels like stepping back in time, with the charm of yesteryear wrapped in modern comfort.
The cottage features a country-style kitchen that opens onto a bright living and dining area, with French doors leading to a private garden courtyard. After exploring the village, guests can relax in the sitting room by the open fire and enjoy complimentary port and chocolates. Amenities include a fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, television, DVD and CD players, and cots on request. The property is smoke-free and offers secure parking.
Located in the heart of Richmond, Bridge Cottage is within a short walk of the historic bridge, the Old Post Office, Richmond Gaol, and other local attractions. Surrounded by gardens, with barbecue facilities available, the cottage combines historic charm with comfort, making it a memorable base for exploring Tasmania’s Coal River Valley.
With free street parking nearby and attentive service, Ashmore on Bridge Street continues to stand out as one of Richmond’s most popular dining destinations, offering both comfort and quality in a unique historic setting.
