Great accommodation with fantastic food and service

Lovely Stay

Lovely room, spacious, light and modern. It was very clean with a comfortable king size bed and en suite shower. Check-in at the bar was quick and easy. We ate in the bar that evening and had breakfast there the next day. I thought the food was rather expensive and a bit underwhelming, but my husband enjoyed the food. I would definitely stay there again but, maybe, find somewhere else to eat. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great check in from young man at bar it was 34 degrees incredibly hot our room was so hot he even sourced us a fan 👍 traffic noise is an issue from room as rooms are beside a very busy road . Also blinds in room do not keep out daylight so sleeping was unfortunately an issue for us but very welcoming staff .

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 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.
