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

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.

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.
