Ideal location if intending to use the airport. Excellent quality and choice of food if dining in, supported by a self serve buffet continental breakfast for early leavers.
There is also plenty of room in the car park.
Beautiful bar & restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable. We were only staying to catch a flight the next morning which worked perfectly for us, despite an early checkout we were able to take some breakfast to eat in the airport. Strongly recommended, we’ll definitely go back.
Arrived, nice welcome; taken to room via a hazardous staircase (I am disabled); room seemed ok until we noticed the poorly maintained and unclean bathroom; went down for food at 645pm, to be told food service closed at 6pm but no mention when checking in; told that breakfast (i .e. pastries etc) would be laid out at 3am for early starters, nothing except juice, toast, kettle etc. Nice pub, with grounds, but lacking as a b and b.
Great pub and accommodation. Rooms were clean, bed was comfy, shower was powerful and hot. Food in the pub/restaurant was top quality and reasonably priced. If I lived local The George at Backwell would be a regular visit. Staff at check in and in the bar were helpful, polite and informative. 5 Star stay.
One night stay before flying out from Bristol. Really convenient.

Continental breakfast only on my stay which was left out overnight as there were no staff there in the morning. Stale pastries, toast and cereal only. Not acceptable at the price i paid for the night. No milk for the tea. Left and got breakfast elsewhere.
Other than that the room was ok. Shower drain was blocked though so had to stop the shower flooding the bathroom with towels.
Meal at night was great and the staff were efficient.
We had booked The George as we were flying from Bristol Airport early in the morning and it was only a 10 minutes drive away. Car parking facilities were great with plenty of spaces, however very dark as there was no lighting. The bar was spacious, as was the restaurant. The food was delicious. Lovely big beer garden with a great seating area. Rooms were comfortable and cosy. Breakfast was continental which was perfect for us as were left the premises at 3.30am. All in all a fabulous stay and would definitely book to stay there again.
Room nice and clean, bathroom very nice. The food looked tasty. Unfortunately it is only served until 6pm. However, I was offered a mini meal as a substitute, which was very nice. Staff very friendly and pleasant atmosphere. Easy access and exit to the airport. I was able to have breakfast at 4am, before my flight.. which was very helpful :) All well.. I would stay there again
Stayed here for business. Room was fine other than the window blind was broken. Breakfast was very self-service, no cooked breakfast option, but there was bread for toast, croissants, jam etc. I felt the evening meal was a little expensive for what it was, but it was nice. I would probably stay again
A good find close to the airport. Thought id get a good night's sleep before an early flight but i was wrong. Loud music until after midnight meant hardly any rest
A functional stay. Room was small with nowhere to hang clothes but was clean- although en-suite bathroom looked tired.
Breakfast was left in dining space with limited choice and no on-site staff to assist.
Bizarrely pub closed at 10pm with all staff left but music still playing until late. No one around to speak to in order to have it turned off.
