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.

Spot on. Very clean, comfortable and welcoming

Very handy and comfortable /clean overnight stay before early morning flight at Bristol Airport. Very easy 15 mins to Airport at 4am. Great check out at that time and even had a continental breakfast available. Well thought out. Highly recommend! Also we had good food in the evening and helpful and friendly staff. Lovely Somerset pub. Easy, clean, comfortable and welcoming. Will return!

Convenient and very nice stay

Booked here because of its proximity to Bristol airport but it didn't disappoint. Ample parking, nice beers and food (pity they had ran out of steaks!). For early risers they prepare a continental breakfast the evening before so you can always get something no matter at what time you have to catch your flight. Wouldn't mind to come back and be able to try those steaks.

Highly recommend for stays close to Bristol airpor

Delighted with double bedroom, beautifully furnished and with tray containing plentiful supply of tea, coffee and a hot chocolate drink. Good shower and enough towels for a change. Despite 5.30am start, bread for toast, juice and drinks provided on self service basis. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. Good price too.

6/10 Good

The toilet hadn't been cleaned there was still other peoples waste in it . the food had a good choice and was well cooked and the service was ok.

2/10 Poor

Find somewhere else to stay.

Very poor. Room not ready on arrival and the whole place needed to be thoroughly cleaned.
Stephen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Sink in room blocked. Continental breakfast a joke plus there was no bread or anything else for the toaster so had to survive on a small box of cereal
Simon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Christian, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointing and more like 6/10

Stayed 3 nights which might have been a mistake. We arrived (Sunday) and told that they did not do cooked breakfasts Mon-Weds which was not made clear by Hotels.com. We were told that there was a continental breakfast available from 7 but no milk or bowls and just some weetabix and some pastries. We went out for breakfast. The room was small with no real storage (OK for 1 nights but not 3) There was only one spot light in the bathroom and no extractor fan; had to use phone light to shave. Bed was very soft. Road was noisy Monday and Tuesday night. Shower was OK but wet room. Only one hand towel between us. TV control needed new batteries. Insufficient tea bags for 3 nights (nothing replenished. Felt mislead by ratings of 9/10. No way, more like 5 or 6/10. Wouldn't go back and would not recommend. Seemed to be run by teenagers. Don't trust Hotel.com reviews any more.

Very well organised, we were visiting relatives and The George was great suited perfectly
Pat, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff and food and service was outstanding and because I travel regularly on business and pleasure, and would like to stay again at this wonderful hotel, unfortunately my room lights seemed dodgy because they kept flickering whenever I used the light switch, plus also the toilet seat fixing had been botched up with tape and was practically falling off!
Darren, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our late arrival due to flight delays was overcome efficiently. Very comfortable room & an enjoyable breakfast.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good B&B pub

Lovely staff, nicely furnished and good continental breakfast. Room a little noisy with window open so go for a room at the back of pub. Food sounded good but we didn’t have time to sample. Overall very good
Nicholas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Rating would have been higher but…..

The stay was overshadowed by the lack of breakfast. We stayed overnight following a 60th birthday celebration. One of the thing we were looking forward to was the “Breakfast served daily until 10:30”. This is actually a not very interesting selection of help yourself breakfast cereals, yogurts, bread, day old croissants, hot water for tea or coffee. Certainly not the breakfast we were expecting and not a member of staff insight. If we were aware that this was The George’s idea of “Breakfast served daily until 10:30” we would have booked somewhere else. Very disappointing😔.
