    The walls are very thin, so noise from other guests was a nuisance. Thankfully on my stay everyone seemed to have early flights so it went quiet at half 10. I was in room 3, the guests in room 2 left without making a sound. The Welsh women in room 1 were a different story, shouting at 06:45 and making a huge amount of noise. It's a shame because the property is lovely.

    Absolutely beautiful room, the bed was exceptional, so comfy and the bedding was great quality. Decorated to a high quality with very nice furnishings. The toilet with a sink built in the top was brilliant.

    We had to walk to cottage from airport drop off and although directions were good we did not expect pathway to run out. Road very busy and felt rather vulnerable.

    Old world cottage. Good renovations. Excellent facilities.

    The room was rather cold (even thoughthere was a small heater provided).

    It was a good location for the airport and nearby pub. There was a good range to make breakfast and the room furnishings were very comfortable.

    We only saw a guy who told us which room we were in. He was helpful regarding where to eat our evening meal. The breakfast was less impressive, there was nobody about. Lots of choice of cereal but no muesli. Some of the packets were just about empty. Hot drinks aren't offered. Toaster was efficient but only white bread was available. The milk bottle & jars etc could have done with a wipe over as they were really sticky.

    Room was excellent. Newly decorated. Clean & comfortable, they've made a good use of a small space. Ideal for an overnight stay.

    During the night we could hear water drops in the plumbing very loudly, to the point where it awoke us the first time we heard it.

    Great location near the airport, convenient for early departure. The host was welcoming, the rooms cozy.

    The shower tray filled up very quickly; maybe a drainage thing.

    Location was perfect (although I may have struggled if I didn't have sat nav). It was clean, warm and comfortable. Quiet and private. The car park was full but there was no noise at all. I arrived quite late but they made it super easy for me to get in and provided me with everything I needed to know. I would definitely stay again.

    The property had very creaky floorboards and thin walls. Our room had an outside light just by the window and the blinds didn’t shut completely so we had the light shining into the room all night. Also I didn’t have a shower in the morning because it didn’t turn on. It was only after I’d finished in the bathroom that I saw a switch above the bathroom door that hadn’t been turned on. It would have been helpful if this had been switched on before our arrival as you’re not thinking straight at 4:30 in the morning!

    The staff were very friendly Location was excellent for Bristol airport. Although we didn’t have breakfast there was a lot of choice It was adequate for one night and a very early morning flight

    The outside light was on all night and quite bright in the room. A blackout blind would be useful. The bathroom is tiny but very usable. The sink is built into the toilet cistern. It's a creative way to make the most of a small space up it meant the toilet lid would not stay up.

    The room was very clean bright and thoughtfully decorated and furnished. The bed was comfortable. It is close to the airport. A help yourself breakfast was available.

    It's an old cottage so not as soundproofed as modern hotels. The sink above the toilet is a bit awkward to use.

    The Cottage is really convenient for the airport great for early flights. It's an easy walk to the airport. The room was comfortable and clean, perfect for an overnight stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Short walk to nearby pub offering food. Walk was along a dark country road, but there was a footpath for most of it and the hotel provided torches to use.

    very dark to find as Road had no lights, no shower in room had to share but don’t really mind, sensor light on a lot of the night so did disturb sleep, not the owners fault but loud neighbours when they arrived.

    Lovely little find, really clean and very convenient for early morning airport flight. good choice of cereals and the offer of bread milk and jam for mornings. comfortable bed.

    Perhaps there could've been more space to make tea and coffee, but I don't think that that is everyone's priority.

    I forgot to leave a review in person as we had to dash to make our flight but the room was a lovely size, warm, and in a super convenient location. The shampoo and conditioner they had in the bathroom actually matched what we use day to day as well, so that was a great perk!
