Pros:

It was lovely but we found dog mess in parts of the garden we have a dog so this is down to the disgusting dog owners perhaps the pub should put up a sign in the garden was a shame

Ideal airport stopover
Pros:

Ideal location for Bristol airport - literally minutes away. Staff were very helpful when some of our party were delayed arriving.

Cons:

Just to be aware there were no meals served on a sunday evening.

I was rather disappointed.
Pros:

Breakfast on the second date was ok, but on the first date there was very little choice by 9.15. All pastries were gone as were the granola pots.
Good shower with plenty of hot water. Bedroom nicely decorated.

Cons:

I was surprised to find when I arrived at 8.15 p.m. that the bar was about to close. I had expected that there would have been the option for a full English breakfast at extra cost but that wasn't on offer. The bedroom I had was very close to the road and busy late at night and early in the morning. Because the weather was hot it was essential to have the window open at night so sleep was very limited.

Comfortable with a few hiccups - would definitely stay there again.
Pros:

The location. The room was small but comfortable and beautifully presented.
The bath products were lovely.
Breakfast was an added extra.

Cons:

The TV wouldn’t turn off. Couldn’t open the blind as the cord was broken. The water went off at one point.

Adorable Inn, 15 min from airport, with young staff, great food, cute decor
Pros:

Loved the dining areas, bar, friendly staff. Our room could have used a little maintenance but very pretty.

Cons:

We were in the room overlooking the property dumpsters, the “Best” it was called. So we’re unable to open window fully because of flies.
