We stayed for two nights while visiting Bristol and had a really enjoyable stay. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, the rooms were lovely and comfortable, and we thought the prices were very reasonable. We were travelling with my 85-year-old father-in-law and found it a really convenient and comfortable base for our trip. We also ate at the pub and had breakfast — the full English gets a definite recommendation from both me and my father-in-law! Would happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it.

Rooms 3 and 4 at the front of the building are extremely loud - lorries passing all through the night. Bathrooms in need of maintenance with smelly drains, poor shower and broken plug. Food and staff excellent though so if you're not bothered by road noise worth a stay.

Great food with gluten free iptions - available all day. Lovely spacious room and bathroom and staff were most welcoming and helpful. The only downside was road noise - our room was roadside and we stayed saturday night. Maybe it would be quieter mid week tho i dont know. Otherwise a great inn.

The property was great and the price was very competitive for the surrounding area. They allow as to arrange late check in and late check out, although it took quite a few calls and they still knocked on the door whilst I was doing my interview. We also had a few issues ordering breakfast but in the end it arrived and it was really great. Overall, I would highly recommend

The Rising Sun

This was an overnight stay while working locally and this place was chosen for its location and the fact that it’s a pub as well. The room was nice but could do with some TLC but I was very comfortable. The bar area was a little cold but I soon warmed up with the lovely food that was on offer and the staff were really friendly and helpful which is why I would recommend this place to others thinking of staying here.

When we arrived at 8.45pm there was only a young lad there waiting with our key. Apparently the owners had done a moonlight flit and left everything to be sorted out by the young man who honestly did his best. There was no food on offer as they had closed the pub. The room was very clean and very comfortable (thank goodness). Limited coffee and tea facilities though. They had a lot of maintenance people there the next day which was a bit noisy. Such a shame as it has the makings of a nice place.

Short stay otherwise would have complained x very smelly room on arrival with windows wide open. I know petty but only teabags in room, no coffee and on going down stairs to restaurant on asking young man looked at me like i had 2 heads and asked me to buy a coffee. Have to pass through dish washing and kitchen to get to out of way door to upto room.

The new menu was very limited with not a lot of choose from. The starter we ordered cam with garlic but there was no mention of garlic on the menu when i pointed this out we were offered a replacement but were told that the chef prepares them before hand and a new one would need to be prepared and it would take a bit of time . At the end of the meal the waitress said ,thank you for your patience, i a very condescending way like it was all my fault . We did notice several meals being returned to the kitchen ,Having looked on line the food on there is nothing like what is served .The room was very nice but for the plug in the sink did not work so we had to leave the tap running to get a wash . I wont be staying there again its such a shame its a nice looking place .

Great relaxing stay

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We chose this hotel as it is dog friendly and it certainly is. Our room was nice and spacious and the bathroom very good with plenty of room and a great shower. I was also impressed to see that there were plenty of gluten free options on the menu and the meal we had was delicious. A lovely relaxing stay.
