The manager, Bonny, was very helpful from the first email, answering all my questions. I arrived late after a horrendous journey, my room was easy to find, the light left on for me, my name on the door. The room was spacious, clean and tidy. First class, highly recommend

The premises are great and so close to BRS, it's 15 mins on foot, door to door. Great find!The manager is chatty and helpful. We stayed in a beautifully renovated barn with a country kitchen, mood lights and sound system... Unfortunately the beds were creaking at every movement and mattresses weren't comfortable. Not a good night sleep.Also, the floors were properly dirty, cobwebs on the steps on the stairs, dusty sofa... more attention on cleanses is really needed.

This is a fantastic place to stay if making an early start to Bristol airport. We’ve used this place a few times now. Friendly service, fab clean and spacious rooms and not feeling like you’ve been ripped off. I would recommend for sure.

Bad start to our holiday, The room was smelling of damp, everything was dated, the kitchen washing up cloth looked as if it had been washing the floor, after complaining we were offered the family lodge, that was nice, but needed a good clean ,Reasonably priced, and in walking distance of the airport, wouldn’t use again ,sorry

Been staying here for years either parking and sleeping over before/after a late flight or just parking. You can walk to the airport and the prices are the best around. Your car will be safe here while you relax on holidays.
