Lovely old inn very convenient for Bristol airport. Comfortable room with good facilities. No car park but easy access to free parking. Stairs up to rooms may be a little difficult for some, especially if handling luggage. Arrived on a Sunday & although I had checked availability of restaurant menus, there was very little choice. Will, however saved the day with excellent customer service & the chef certainly knows how to cook a superb Sunday lunch. Will definitely stay again.

Room was great, as was the food, but accommodation was let down by a messy backstairs access that is also used as a storage area = poor impression. Also, to charge extra for tea/coffee with breakfast felt a bit cheap; have never encountered that at other b&b pubs. Two areas for improvement!
