    Continual low level noise outside room - from kitchen extractor fan??

    Proximity to airport and railway station. Early breakfast facilities and ease of checkout for our early flight was great. Comfortable room in old pub and staff were really helpful and polite.

    Windows weren’t able to be opened, room was quite hot at times so affected sleep,wet room as opposed to a shower enclosure so bathroom floor was quite wet after it was used

    Comfortable Bed , fairly quiet good complimentary breakfast! easy access to rooms, good selection on tea tray, nice touch complimentary cookies in a bag on the door.

    1. All bedrooms on first floor accessed by an unusual switchback staircase, somewhat hazardous for older age group or anyone with a disability. There are grab rails but these could be improved. 2. Our room (Washington) had a wet room style bathroom, but inadequate camber in the shower partition meant water ran across the room making it slippery. A small ridge in the shower area would keep the water inclosed.

    Exceeded expectations, facilities good, room clean and modern. Good restaurant menu, and staff pleasant and welcoming. Personal touches such as little gift bags with biscuits and quirky names on room doors were appreciated.

    Nothing. Would use again and highly recommend.

    We have stayed before - very happy. We were staying the night before leaving from Bristol Airport early next morning. Very handy for the airport. Unfortunately due to work commitments we arrived late into the evening which was a shame as we would have liked to have had dinner there (have before and it was very good). Would definitely stay again. Nice rooms and bathroom.

    The road noise was a little loud, but we stayed on a mega hot weekend so we needed the double glazing open. With the windows shut the noise would probably been fine.

    The floor in the shower cubicle was dangerously slippery & there was no handle to hold. The shower cubicle was open , so water soaked the bathroom floor which also became slippery. We asked for a bathmat but wasn’t one available so had to put a towel on the floor. No hand towels provided. Also the light over the basin wasn’t working.

    Self service continental breakfast . Reasonable selection, no croissants. Hot water dispenser wasn’t easy to use. Only whole milk available. A proper toaster! Room well furnished, very clean. Traffic noise, but we knew it was on a main road. Friends joined us for an evening meal, I think they forgot us as the food took ages to arrive, but was very nice.

    Room was very warm , couldn’t get the window to stay open and when we eventually propped it open realised it was quite a noisy road . Would definately benefit from a fan .

    Really lovely welcome , lots of attention to detail . Great outdoor area , good location , really good food .
