Reviews of The George at Backwell describe a friendly pub-with-rooms convenient for Bristol Airport, offering comfortable rooms and well-liked evening meals, while feedback on the self-serve continental breakfast ranges from appreciative to disappointed.
Many guests highlight welcoming, helpful staff and thoughtful arrangements for very early departures. Common downsides include limited or unattended mornings, occasional slow service, and room or bathroom maintenance issues; several reviews also note traffic noise in front-facing rooms. Expect a convenient, pub-style stay suited to airport stopovers.

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.

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.

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.

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!

We made a very last minute booking for a brief stay for an early morning flight. We were made to feel very welcome in this lovely pub. They went out of their way to tell us there would be no food available in the evening due to a flood but we were amazed a breakfast was left ready for us if we wanted it at whatever time in the morning. Really comfortable and clean rooms and a lovely cosy country pub setting. Will definitely stay again. Thank you.

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.

Lovely pub and convenient location, I stayed as I had a very early flight the next day. Was told a continental breakfast would be laid out the night before to help myself to in the morning… it was a Kellogg’s variety pack and sone bread. Room was nice and pleasantly decorated, bathroom was mouldy, just needed a good scrub. Price felt a bit high for what it was but I’d stay again if I needed to.

Liked beds & pillows. Pub atmosphere good. Staff young and inexperienced and no breakfast available when needed at 8.30-9am. No one to speak to about any problems and generally felt it was bad value for money. Carpets in my and my sister's room were dirty although the rooms were very nice. It feels like it has lost it's way possibly because of new management? I would have liked a partial refund for the lack of breakfast but there was no one to speak to.

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!

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 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.

On arrival really pleased as property beautiful, checked in and told would only be serving pizza in restaurant, went to room Custer which was nice apart from bathroom , smelt of dirty water , shower drain filthy , body wash empty all others old , went to restaurant was advised hotel taken over 2 weeks ago limited food in restaurant , no starters , small range of meals which was not restaurant standard just pub grub , no cocktails available as staff were not trained , overheard discussion between the manager and a young woman who was confirming a booking she had made prior to take over , Manager was very rude and unhelpful and was not going to honour . We paid £ 131.00 for a room which was advertised with restaurant and cocktails available , we should have been refunded part payment, we did not complain as pointless all that the manager kept saying was we have just taken over

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😔.

The welcome was excellent and we were helped by taking a heavy bag up the stairs. The dinner was good, although some prized items were off the menu. It was clear that the staff were very pushed. Breakfast was not good, late, very limited, but again there were no staff. The bedroom was exceptionally clean and well ordered.

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

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

Breakfast was continental and included. There were no staff present so it was 'serve yourself'. This was not the problem. Unfortunately if you were later down to breakfast there was very little left, no milk, no granola pots or croissant plus no staff to ask for help.
