A excellent stay prior to a flight from Bristol Airport. Restaurant was excellent with a good selection of food and drinks. The staff made you feel welcome. Car parking was great and only 15-20 minutes from the airport. Will definitely stay again.

Yes all very friendly. Good menu for evening meals & breakfasts. Quirky old building with quite a few steps with in the downstairs & upstairs. Good parking with cameras. Due to being a listed building,no double glazing. You do hear the planes from 6am. But all in all very pleased for our visit.

Great staff, clean and tidy room, good location with easy car parking. Great food including very good options for my coeliac wife. This is a quaint more traditional style of hotel with it seemed like only six rooms. You still get a room key attached to a fob rather than the key cards you tend to get nowadays and the flooring is a little sloped in places all adding to the charm. We had just a one night stop over but would be happy to return.

A lovely historic building with comfy and clean rooms, helpful and friendly staff, and great food (we are vegetarians and found the food options to be quite unique/interesting and good quality). We were also given a later checkout time due to travel connections, which was hugely appreciated.

Great one night stay. Room was comfortable and well equipped, staff were friendly, efficient and polite. Good food in the restaurant for dinner which was reasonably priced and generous, and breakfast was beautifully presented and plentiful. We’d happily return if in the area again!

I loved the rooms and restaurant, staff were lovely. The only reason for the 3 stars is the location. The beautiful old building is right under Bristol airport flight path. From 6am, every 5 minutes, a plane flew overhead. Very early start to my day.
