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.

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.

Good choice for Bristol Airport
Very happy with our choice. Has character but also all mod cons and spotlessly clean. Staff friendly and helpful

Perfect long weekend
Lovely rooms above a great pub with a cracking breakfast. Everyone we dealt with was so helpful and friendly. The area was perfect for walking and exploring and you could reach other pubs and restaurants by foot. We would definitely recommend and are planning a return trip.

2/10 Poor

Nice location with modern room
We were greeted inside the pub and shown to our room quickly which was upstairs at the rear of the building. This was up outside metal steps. The room is a great size with modern fixture and a stunning bathroom. The shower was amazing. There was however several issues, there was a very loud rumbling noise coming from the below floor (possibly linked to the pub) we wanted to sleep at 8pm and it too loud even with earplugs. This noise did stop around midnight. The pillow was horrendous. Hard and flat and I didn’t sleep the whole time due to this. They were really uncomfortable.
