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.

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!

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

Disappointing and more like 6/10

Stayed 3 nights which might have been a mistake. We arrived (Sunday) and told that they did not do cooked breakfasts Mon-Weds which was not made clear by Hotels.com. We were told that there was a continental breakfast available from 7 but no milk or bowls and just some weetabix and some pastries. We went out for breakfast. The room was small with no real storage (OK for 1 nights but not 3) There was only one spot light in the bathroom and no extractor fan; had to use phone light to shave. Bed was very soft. Road was noisy Monday and Tuesday night. Shower was OK but wet room. Only one hand towel between us. TV control needed new batteries. Insufficient tea bags for 3 nights (nothing replenished. Felt mislead by ratings of 9/10. No way, more like 5 or 6/10. Wouldn't go back and would not recommend. Seemed to be run by teenagers. Don't trust Hotel.com reviews any more.

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.

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.

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.
