The Old Star

wonderful self service breakfast with great choice of good cereals, fruit, tea and coffee. Yoghurts, ordinary and oat milks, bottles of chilled water fruit juices etc. Very friendly atmosphere, lovely owner, Karen. Peaceful location about 20 mins from family we came to see in SE Bristol. Free parking, wi-fi. Good showers and new bathrooms.

mattresses were quite good but in the room with the king sized bed, it was quite comfy but not super comfy. We had two rooms (he snores)! My room had twin beds which once again were quite comfy, not super comfy. The sinks in the bathrooms were very small but that was not a problem.

In addition to top marks for hospitality and cleanliness, the Old Bell was easy to find and close to the M4 / M32 interchange on the outskirts of Bristol. following a tiring motorway journey on the M4, this ideal location is a welcome relief as navigating the local commuter traffic and the busy roads into the city, or onward motorway journey, can be left to the next day. Also, not more than 5 minutes from the guest house, we came across the Frome Valley footpath that stretches along the river and a pleasant unexpected walk that can take you far into the countryside.

The place is lovely with very willing and kind personnel. The room was very cozy and the house itself has nice home-feeling atmosphere. Moreover, the bus stop is only a few steps from the house. The wi-fi there also works pretty well. I also really liked the possibility to eat my breakfast anytime, with no strict timetable in the morning.

Although the breakfast offers variety of food to chose from (multiple kind of fruit, white and wholegrain bread, eidam and chedar cheese, ham, cereals, yogurts, etc.), I missed some local touch to it (maybe some homemade brownies or muffins, or possibly the english breakfast) which would nicely complement the home-feeling atmosphere of The Old Star.

brilliant warm and friendly place. The owners Karen and Phil are so hospitable. Breakfast is self service with a great choice of cereals, bread, yoghurt, ham and cheese, milk, tea and coffee, fresh fruit, bottled water. This is available at all times in the kitchen/small dining area. Bed comfortable. Bathroom clean, plus good shower. Great place to stay when visiting Bristol. Free parking outside property.

Quite a noisy road outside if you are not used to this.

The owners were very helpful when our car had a flat tyre on the way to the hotel. We were stuck for two hours until a replacement was fitted. They. Waited up till late in the evening for us and were very understanding. The hotel was also very clean and tastefully furnished, plus they had recently upgraded the rooms. There was a big choice of breakfast cereal, and bread, with butter, cheese, ham, yogurts, fruit, and different milks to suit all tastes.

A great number of self service choices that made a great Continental breakfast. I wasn't sure if there was a way to heat the pain au chocolat, but probably was if I had asked. The peaceful surroundings made the stay even more pleasant, and the helpfulness of the staff was exceptional.

I found the wash basin small and not easy to use as I normally do not use a face cloth, I like to almost dip my face in the water before I shave, so a larger basin would be very pleasing.

personal welcome, lots of storage cupboards in the room, large (if squeaky) bed

The room heating was peculiar: we arrived at 9.30pm, and soon realised that the bed’s headboard was right next to the radiator which was on - very hot. Turned the radiator off at the valve. The next morning, it was if course very cold - so we turned the radiator back on again, which made no difference. Suggest that the owner should provide a simple printed information sheet telling guests how it all works. Else, does the system need fixing / adjusting?

Location, very friendly welcome from owners, clean and comfortable accommodation, brilliant selection of continental breakfast

All very good on the whole. Just tiny little points in the shower room: toilet roll on holder with hardly any paper on, and a shower gel virtually empty. These are so minor points, but having worked in hotel management for 15 years, those two little things stood out. But, we had a lovely stay, thankyou very much.

Excellent communication both before and during my stay. As well as the provided breakfast, you could have a snack or drink throughout the day from the options provided. I also liked the style of the en-suite bathroom. It is set in a lovely village with an excellent pub nearby.

The single bed only had a single duvet, so this could result in pulling the covers off frequently.

Beautiful location......Nice walks around the area. And not far from the city.

Very remote. ...but they starting a bus service from 1st of April. Call west link. Just download the app. Its a ondemand bus service...also a nice pub just down the road.
