Overall Ratings & Reviews The Bear and Swan

Very nice room above quaint pub. USB would have been helpful

Excellent

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

Lovely place, great staff, food and room.

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.

Fantastic property, really comfy bed and spacious room. Really enjoyed our stay. Only thing that could be improved was that the fan was covered in dust. Coming out of winter this is understandable

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.

The food and drinks are massively over priced for what you get . £10 for a double jack and coke . . Seriously another 10 and i can buy a litre bottle . Food wasnt great either .

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.

Had to ask about leaving early and how to get out at 3am. No one mentioned what to do with the key

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.

I booked 2 rooms for an early morning flight and we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. There was a free carpark next to the pub and the staff were efficient and friendly. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the bathrooms were the best I’ve seen in a hotel. Stunning! Will definitely stay again for a Bristol flight (15 minutes away)

Lovely place to stay, lovely bar and restaurant with nice food and the open fires were really nice. Staff alll friendly with great service. Rooms spacious and comfortable. Would stay again.

So very happy with everything from the minute we entered,

A really impressive stay with great service and friendly staff. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant which was of a very high standard. Couldn’t fault it and close to the airport for an early departure. Highly recommended.

Lovely village pub with well appointed rooms. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Great food. Ideally placed for Bristol airport but not so close that it’s overrun. We will definitely stay again.

Nice weekend enjoyed my stay

A bit of a mixed review. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was a good size but we didn’t like the open plan bathroom and the toilet was no more than a closet (think airplane size and smaller again!). Bed was comfortable. Our room (No 2) was at the front and it was quite noisy

Great spot
