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.

£113 and breakfast was extra. Not worth it... if this is your budget, pay a little more and go to Cadbury House. Worth no more than £80/night. Rooms are a little tired and being woken up at 6am to a broken alarm was far from ideal! No communication from staff, just other people staying and it took about half an hour to sort! Wouldn't stay again at that price!

Good stop over

Staff very friendly. Most of our food was good. What needs pointing out is the restaurant times for dinner, as we booked for 7pm, and when I rang to say we could be later, due to work commitments, I was told they stopped taking food orders at 7.45. Some updating needed at this hotel, in the rooms, But we would definitely stay again. 😊

Very clean and comfortable

We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay. The staff were extremely courteous, friendly and helpful. The building is about 400 years old so it did creek and shake a bit when heavy vehicles went by, but that was mainly during the day, we were not disturbed at all during the night. It was very clean and the breakfast was delicious and they didn't mind adapting to special requests. We would definitely stay there again.

We found the room totally unusable and had to leave straight away having only been there for 10 miniutes. The traffic noise was absolutely deplorable right next to a junction on the main road to Bristol/Weston/Churchill. There was no secondary glazing and no hope of any sleep. The staff didn’t seem to know we were booked in at first and could not offer any other room or a refund. We lost a lot of money that night. I would recommend that this place should not be advertising accommodation until they do something about the problem. The staff seemed uninterested.

The food was amazing and being recently Gluten Free lots of choices on offer. We would definitely book to stay again in the future.
