Great stopover for Bristol Airport.
Pros:

Compact but well appointed, pretty and clean room with comfortable bed. Very nice and helpful welcome. Very good evening meal in a typical country pub.
We were catching an early flight from nearby Bristol airport and a continental breakfast was laid out for us for a 4.30am start. Would fully recommend.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Very clean and a very nice pub and the room was also very nice clean and comfortable with everything you needed,
but the noise through the night wasn't great
Banging and music playing until about 10.30pm
All in all despite a bit of noise it was very sufficient for early travel to the airport

Cons:

Noise until about 10.30pm

Great place to stop off enroute to Bristol area or airport.
Pros:

The pub is a welcoming place, made superb by very helpful and positive staff. I liked the simplicity of the continental, self-serve breakfast. The rooms are comfortable, but the heating wasn't working too well so cool at night. Food is really excellent.

Cons:

The staircase is unique, almost spiral at the junction with the first floor as it's very steep and would not be suitable for people with disability, however slight.

A very pleasant stay and friendly staff. A particular shoutout to the hotel cleaner. Very helpful.
Pros:

The bar and restaurant was well set out with separate seating area towards the end of the building. Rooms very good value with everything you would expect included in the room. My only criticism would be the lighting is very dark. It would be helped by a free standing light or table lamp.

Wonderful stay great location for the airport excellent food
Pros:

Lovely accommodation, great restaurant and warm welcome by some of the staff. The food in the restaurant is absolutely first time also very close to Bristol Airport.

Cons:

Not sure if the one person that’s there sat on the barstool is the actual owner or manager. If that person is perhaps it would be good to be a bit more welcoming to customers.
