Fantastic property, really comfy bed and spacious room. Really enjoyed our stay. Only thing that could be improved was that the fan was covered in dust. Coming out of winter this is understandable

Perfect overnight for Bristol Airport

Lovely overnight stop close to Bristol Airport. Room was spacious and full of character. A bit warmer than we would like. Clean and very good tea/coffee in room. Very good Sunday lunch too. We would not hesitate to return.

Noise from the kitchen extractor was loud until quite late which was a shame. The bathroom had swing doors which were stiff & noisy to open during the night & with an auto light sensor meant that when one of us got up to use the loo the other was woken up. Shame as it’s a lovely place & it wouldn’t put us off staying again. Also very handy location for Bristol airport.

Stunning!

I booked 2 rooms for an early morning flight and we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. There was a free carpark next to the pub and the staff were efficient and friendly. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the bathrooms were the best I’ve seen in a hotel. Stunning! Will definitely stay again for a Bristol flight (15 minutes away)

A very nice country pub and hotel.

A really impressive stay with great service and friendly staff. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant which was of a very high standard. Couldn’t fault it and close to the airport for an early departure. Highly recommended.

Perfect village pub with rooms.

Lovely village pub with well appointed rooms. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Great food. Ideally placed for Bristol airport but not so close that it’s overrun. We will definitely stay again.
