Good B&B pub

Lovely staff, nicely furnished and good continental breakfast. Room a little noisy with window open so go for a room at the back of pub. Food sounded good but we didn’t have time to sample. Overall very good

The staff and food and service was outstanding and because I travel regularly on business and pleasure, and would like to stay again at this wonderful hotel, unfortunately my room lights seemed dodgy because they kept flickering whenever I used the light switch, plus also the toilet seat fixing had been botched up with tape and was practically falling off!

Great pub and accommodation. Rooms were clean, bed was comfy, shower was powerful and hot. Food in the pub/restaurant was top quality and reasonably priced. If I lived local The George at Backwell would be a regular visit. Staff at check in and in the bar were helpful, polite and informative. 5 Star stay.

Food was really good. Comfy bed and pillows nice treat of cookies delivered to room. Was woken by fire alarm at 4:45am and neither of landlords really knew what to do and didn’t communicate what was happening leaving residents out in the cold. Other than that a good stay.

Beautiful bar & restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable. We were only staying to catch a flight the next morning which worked perfectly for us, despite an early checkout we were able to take some breakfast to eat in the airport. Strongly recommended, we’ll definitely go back.
