The George at Backwell

The George is in the perfect location for Bristol airport. It’s much more cozy than a normal airport hotel. The room we had (Best) was small but had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s very clean with a good shower. We enjoyed an excellent roast dinner in the restaurant. The staff working were all lovely and friendly (with the exception one one slightly older gentleman with a beard who was not so welcoming). The continental breakfast was an nice extra.

As a light sleeper I heard people leaving for the airport in the early morning and there is some traffic noise but that’s the price you pay for the convenient location.

lovely dinner and buffet breakfast more than adequate for an early morning departure to the airport

the bathroom had a few hairs on the floor from previous occupants

The room was very comfortable and the general ambience of the pub

We found the menu to be varied but the prices for both food and beverages were above average.

The room was lovely, we entered and the radio was already on, it felt really welcoming. The room was a good size and was really clean and pleasant, it felt modern but still had a touch of authenticity. There was a fan in the room which was appreciated!

The dinner service was a bit of a disaster, a lot of the food was so salty especially the starter which was so heavily salted it was inedible. The main of my partner came with a sauce which was also incredibly salty. The desert order was wrong two times and one desert came out with a big hair wrapped around it. However, the restaurant was very understaffed as they weren't expecting so many customers midweek, I can't fault the service staff; they did incredibly well under the strain and demand and rectified all my issues, so top marks for them. This isn't the fault of the hotel but the road out front is incredibly busy throughout the night, I'm a heavy sleeper and even I struggled to sleep through the constant rumble of HGV's.
