Pros:

Room Clooney was very comfortable , good bed and bedding , good bathroom and shower, good coffee and tea facility. Window sound deadening from road traffic was very effective.

Cons:

Breakfast facility let the hotel down. Day one butter absent . Day two butter frozen and butter knife was no use at all. Croissants were horrible and bread was poor quality. Only strawberry jam on offer.
What a shame as this will stop us booking again and there was so much good about the hotel.

Zou hier zeker terug komen als ze het ontbijt zouden verbeteren
Pros:

Wat een ontzettende charmante pub. Je kan merken dat er veel liefde in het onderhoud en de inrichting word gestoken. Goede gerechten en een lunch/diner kaart met meer dan voldoende opties om uit te kiezen.
Het personeel is erg vriendelijk en er hangt een fijne sfeer. De kamer was netjes, schoon en sfeervol ingericht.

Cons:

Ik kan maar 1 ding bedenken dat tegenviel en dat was het ontbijt(buffet). Helaas werden de croissantjes en koffie/chocolade broodjes rond 11 uur de avond ervoor al klaargelegd op het buffet. Open en bloot en totaal niet volledig afgebakken. Dit is ook de reden geweest dat ik het ontbijt heb overgeslagen.

Pros:

Clean, comfortable room with everything you need for an overnight stay before driving to Bristol Airport (approx 15 mins away)

Cons:

Nothing, really.
They were calling last orders at 8.45 in the bar, but it was very quiet.
I'm assuming it would be later on a busier evening

Great place, very convenient for Bristol Airport
Pros:

Very nice atmosphere, good food choice and what we had was good value for money and was very tasty. Room comfortable and staff very friendly.

Cons:

There was nothing to not like, the decor in the room and bathroom was a little tired but nothing to detract from your comfort and we would definitely stay again and recommend 😁
