10/10 Exceptional

Convenient and very nice stay

Booked here because of its proximity to Bristol airport but it didn't disappoint. Ample parking, nice beers and food (pity they had ran out of steaks!). For early risers they prepare a continental breakfast the evening before so you can always get something no matter at what time you have to catch your flight. Wouldn't mind to come back and be able to try those steaks.

Spot on. Very clean, comfortable and welcoming

Very handy and comfortable /clean overnight stay before early morning flight at Bristol Airport. Very easy 15 mins to Airport at 4am. Great check out at that time and even had a continental breakfast available. Well thought out. Highly recommend! Also we had good food in the evening and helpful and friendly staff. Lovely Somerset pub. Easy, clean, comfortable and welcoming. Will return!

Highly recommend for stays close to Bristol airpor

Delighted with double bedroom, beautifully furnished and with tray containing plentiful supply of tea, coffee and a hot chocolate drink. Good shower and enough towels for a change. Despite 5.30am start, bread for toast, juice and drinks provided on self service basis. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. Good price too.

The toilet hadn't been cleaned there was still other peoples waste in it . the food had a good choice and was well cooked and the service was ok.

2/10 Poor

Find somewhere else to stay.

Very poor. Room not ready on arrival and the whole place needed to be thoroughly cleaned.
Stephen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Sink in room blocked. Continental breakfast a joke plus there was no bread or anything else for the toaster so had to survive on a small box of cereal
Simon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Continental breakfast only on my stay which was left out overnight as there were no staff there in the morning. Stale pastries, toast and cereal only. Not acceptable at the price i paid for the night. No milk for the tea. Left and got breakfast elsewhere. Other than that the room was ok. Shower drain was blocked though so had to stop the shower flooding the bathroom with towels. Meal at night was great and the staff were efficient.

Very well organised, we were visiting relatives and The George was great suited perfectly
Pat, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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!
Darren, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our late arrival due to flight delays was overcome efficiently. Very comfortable room & an enjoyable breakfast.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
Nicholas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Rating would have been higher but…..

The stay was overshadowed by the lack of breakfast. We stayed overnight following a 60th birthday celebration. One of the thing we were looking forward to was the “Breakfast served daily until 10:30”. This is actually a not very interesting selection of help yourself breakfast cereals, yogurts, bread, day old croissants, hot water for tea or coffee. Certainly not the breakfast we were expecting and not a member of staff insight. If we were aware that this was The George’s idea of “Breakfast served daily until 10:30” we would have booked somewhere else. Very disappointing😔.

Friendly welcome; room was lovely and set up for breakfast is good too. Evening meal was mediocre.

Cheryl, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Trudy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent service

The staff were wonderful. The room was a good size and was welcoming. It was a continental breakfast, which suited us, as we were able to get what we wanted and take it to the room to eat. The dinner was delicious and there was plenty of it. Because the hotel is not staffed overnight, they asked if we wanted fresh milk and organised a little bottle for us. They also gave me a large bottle of water, as I had not had time to buy one.
Simone, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommended

Beautiful building very clean and cosy. Check in was stress free and the guys who checked us in were friendly and efficient. The only down side was that service was a little slow in the evening in the restaurant. We had to ask for dessert menu and bill.
