The Wellington

I had cause to stay here overnight at very short notice. (It is very close to Southmead hospital, which is why I needed to stay.) I needed to rush in in the early evening, collect my key, and then head to the hospital. The staff were fantastic, empathetic and understanding. They gave me specific directions to the hospital, and ensured that I need not worry about anything. Upon my return a couple of hours later they asked how things were and literally “sat me down,” as if I was at home. My room (8) was fantastic, compact and bijou, with loads of cracking little touches. Great shower, great bed, great coffee and biscuits. Very clean. The pub itself is wonderful. Great live music (hopefully booking him for my local in Devon,) great beer and wine and a superbly tender steak which the chef had fussed over . I am a steak man, and it was just perfect. Really good value as well at £18.50. I did not take breakfast as I needed to get back to the hospital but I have a feeling that it would not be a let down. The manager told me to leave my car in the car park whilst I went to see the patient, and to let him know later if I needed the room again tonight. All in all, superb performance by the staff. St Austell Brewery should be very proud of them, and of themselves for running such a great place. I will be back for pleasure soon. (BTW patient all ok and discharged.)

The staff were lovely, very accommodating, allowing us to get in an hour early. The whole accommodation was very comfortable indeed.

The room was fantastic and we slept incredibly well. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great facilities and able to use the pub for food and drink too . Easy access to the city and we also went for a run to the Clifton Downs - all great. We had a great stay and will be back - great value for money.
