I chose this accomodation due to its fair price and walking distance to the airport. I did a testwalk without luggage since I have quite a lot and wanted to be sure where to walk at 4am next morning As far as I could make out the 'green' paths (indicated on my screenshot) have a side walk/safe street and the 'red' ones do not - so make sure you are fit enough so you can carry your luggage since some of the parts are on gras/muddy when rainy! Bring a torch/reflective jacket/shoes to safely cross/walk besides the road.
A great stay! Will definitely be back! Plenty of tea, coffee and milk to keep you refreshed, lovely clean and warm room. Thermostat that you can control the temp of the room was greatly appreciated and it was all cozy and ready for us when we arrived. Lovely sized bed! All in all very convenient especially with the parking and the self check in/out. Thank you!
This is super convenient location. The room was clean and comfortable. The self check in and check out is so well organised. The instructions couldn't be any clearer, they really make it easy.. Just one piece of advice: do NOT use waze to get there It's super easy to find IF you DON'T use waze (waze decided to take us there the scenic route at night, in the fog and rain). One improvement I would give any hosts anywhere : to add dairy free milk/oat packets - we forgot ours). We absolutely will use this again without hesitation. Considering the place being next to the airport, the place wasn't noisy (as we expected it to be). If I could give it more stars I would!
Our first choice when we fly from Bristol airport! Always look forward to staying here as it is a brilliant, calm, relaxing and a comfortable start and end to out holidays! We park the car here safely too. Taxi to the airport is about £22.. you can walk it, but we never have as everytime we are here its raining heavily!! Rooms are big, warm, clean and cozy. Good tv, bathroom, comfy bed, coffee making facilities. The only downside is so too comfy that its hard to get up for an early morning flight
We stayed and used their parking for a week in January. The accommodation was very comfortable and all the arrangements ran smoothly. The walk to the airport is relatively easy, though there is no pavement for about 50m. I would not recommend the walk at night unless you only have hand luggage and then wear bright clothing and use a torch. I would consider using the 'drop and fly' service next time (as we had large trolley bags), returning our car back to the parking each time. Or a taxi.
Lovely place for nights stay for flights from Bristol Airport. Very clean room. Comfortable large room. 59 inch tv. WiFi. Booked taxi as walk a bit tricky even if only 15 min walk to Departures with Arrow Taxis on Airport. 41 pounds return
Really well located, well organised and extremely comfortable for a nights stay before flying early the next day. We used before and equally great experience. This time we used the car parking which was really easy as just had to leave car keys in a safe and similar prices when collecting.
I stayed there with my family for one night before our early flight to turkey the next morning and had a lovely night sleep.the place was easy to find,rooms were clean and it was easy to get your room key and then drop off your car key in the safety box.we had our car booked there for a week which is very convenient.its only 5mn walk from the airport.very happy with our stay.thank you
Having booked this hotel (a small double bed) for its amazing reviews, I was quite disappointed. It is indeed conveniently located. However, the room was very hot without a fan (or an AC). Cleaning could have been better and the room could definitely use some maintenance. The instructions however were clear. If found it to be too expensive for what it offers, especially considering the late checkin and early checkout hours.
Great place to stay before an early morning flight. The room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. Pleased to find a kettle with tea and coffee. Would definitely use again and recommend to others.
Set in a stone building in a wooded area, this low-key guesthouse is less than a mile from Bristol Airport, a mile from the nearest pubs and 2 miles from the village of Backwell.
