The Bear & Swan

Sleep over for flight Attic room comfortable but noisy fan cooking downstairs right. Below our room but turned if of when told him it was nosy nice electric skylights to reduce light and open for air

Mixed Experience – Helpful Staff but Several Drawbacks The staff were excellent—friendly and as helpful as they could be. Dining was a highlight, with good quality food at both breakfast and dinner. However, there were several drawbacks. Parking on Friday night was a major issue. The small public car park behind the pub was full, and on-street parking was extremely limited. Given the number of nearby pubs, bars, and restaurants, this is likely a recurring problem—not a one-off. The website’s claim of “plentiful parking” is misleading. The rooms are located at the back of the pub, above the kitchen, and accessed via an outdoor staircase that’s dirty, smelly, and appears to be used for other purposes—definitely not a great first impression. While the hallway to the rooms was better, and the room itself was clean, ours had only small skylights, making it feel quite claustrophobic. Ventilation was poor, and the room became unbearably hot—especially when we had to close the skylights due to loud music from a neighboring pub. Fortunately, staff provided a fan, which helped. In summary, this spot is acceptable for a basic overnight stay, but I’d recommend avoiding weekends if you’re driving, due to the parking situation and potential noise.

Beautiful rustic property with lovely sized rooms and ample parking. Staff friendly and helpful. Good food

Nice clean room, staff was very friendly and professional. Free parking and very short distance from the airport. Definitely stay again if flying from Bristol.

Perfect overnight for Bristol Airport Lovely overnight stop close to Bristol Airport. Room was spacious and full of character. A bit warmer than we would like. Clean and very good tea/coffee in room. Very good Sunday lunch too. We would not hesitate to return.

Noise from the kitchen extractor was loud until quite late which was a shame. The bathroom had swing doors which were stiff & noisy to open during the night & with an auto light sensor meant that when one of us got up to use the loo the other was woken up. Shame as it’s a lovely place & it wouldn’t put us off staying again. Also very handy location for Bristol airport.
