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.

Had to ask about leaving early and how to get out at 3am. No one mentioned what to do with the key

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.

A bit of a mixed review. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was a good size but we didn’t like the open plan bathroom and the toilet was no more than a closet (think airplane size and smaller again!). Bed was comfortable. Our room (No 2) was at the front and it was quite noisy

The room has an unpleasant scent. I have booked the king room and shown that it was a king bed. However, the size is just a double bed size. It not worths this price in this area.

Lovely country Pub
Parking is provided by the means of a public car park to the rear of the property. Access to the property is via a long gravel path which requires suitcases to be carried. Room access is via very step and narrow steps. Thankfully the manager assisted with the cases to the room. Stay was good, but on departure no staff were available and the property was locked.

The room I booked was supposed to be a king size room. We were taken to room 2. This was a very small room and did not match the room that I paid for. There was carpet which was stained in places. The toilet was situated in a tiny cubicle. My husbands knees were touching the wall when he sat down on the toilet. The shutters were dirty. We were not happy at all with our room, I did mention this to the girl at the bar when we left.
