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.

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.

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 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.
