All staff were friendly and helpful. Bar was pleasant and comfortable to enjoy a drink. We did not eat there but everyone there seemed to enjoy what they had. Perfect location for overnight stay for early flight. Room was comfortable and quiet. The only downside was the toilet cistern was difficult to operate. Would definitely stay there again. Good, free public parking behind the pub

There was a nice welcome as we arrived. We had booked dinner for a later time but was able to be seated early. The food was very good with a good choice in the menu. The room was large and had all the required facilities.

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 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.
