What guests think

Across recent reviews, The Congresbury Arms is praised for its friendly, attentive staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and consistently good food and breakfasts, making it a popular stopover, especially for Bristol Airport and nearby travel connections.

Several guests note traffic or flight path noise and vibrations due to the busy road and airport proximity. A number mention worn mattresses, occasional maintenance issues, and patchy Wi-Fi; the historic building also lacks air conditioning. Dining hours can be early and some guests found the menu limited or unavailable later in the evening. Expect a characterful pub stay suited to convenient stopovers if you can tolerate potential noise and earlier meal times.

Great British produce, locally sourced and expertly cooked. Helpful, friendly team of staff. The building is grade listed but lots of character with traditional looking but modern furniture. No aircon in my room and WiFi was twitchy but comfy, clean with beautiful furniture. Cracking beer garden,large and rustic set next to the local river and walking routes.

A listed building so you will encounter the odd problem concerned with age. The staff were very pleasant throughout: cheerful and attentive. The dining was good and you expected a wait for freshly cooked hot and edible food. At lunchtime I had the best ham sandwich that I have had in years. We were there during the heatwave so the lack of AC and the constant noise from a very busy main road was a small problem but nothing that the owners could do about that. A most enjoyable 2 day stay that I would be more than happy to repeat.

Excellent and easy check in, evening meal was very nice and competitively priced. The Estrella was served at the perfect temperature 👍 the room was lovely and clean and the jelly babies were a fantastic treat 👍 only gripe was I couldn’t regulate the radiator which was on all night - the sash window came to the rescue and a cool breeze was present all night. The gentleman who checked me in and showed me to my room was very polite and courteous. Didn’t have breakfast as I left early but will definitely stay again when in the area

Friendly helpful staff, very nice breakfast, room itself OK but the mattress needs replacing it was so soft when you sat on it it curled up and wasn't very comfortable for sleeping. There is plenty of free parking, sadly didn't have an evening meal but the menu did look good.

Property is 300 years old and is a little quirky. Our room was very nice but we had to go thru the restaurant and bar to access a small and steep stairway to reach our room. The food was excellent and service was great.

We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay. The staff were extremely courteous, friendly and helpful. The building is about 400 years old so it did creek and shake a bit when heavy vehicles went by, but that was mainly during the day, we were not disturbed at all during the night. It was very clean and the breakfast was delicious and they didn't mind adapting to special requests. We would definitely stay there again.

We booked to stay at the Congresbury Arms, so we could go to a local spa the following day for my birthday a few weeks prior and Mothers Day. Wow what a lovely place, the staff were all friendly. The food was amazing and being recently Gluten Free lots of choices on offer. We would definitely book to stay again in the future. The room was spotlessly clean, and complimentary items were a lovely touch. The breakfast in the morning had a wide variety of choice. What a lovely, historic find!

We found the room totally unusable and had to leave straight away having only been there for 10 miniutes. The traffic noise was absolutely deplorable right next to a junction on the main road to Bristol/Weston/Churchill. There was no secondary glazing and no hope of any sleep. The staff didn’t seem to know we were booked in at first and could not offer any other room or a refund. We lost a lot of money that night. I would recommend that this place should not be advertising accommodation until they do something about the problem. The staff seemed uninterested.

£113 and breakfast was extra. Not worth it... if this is your budget, pay a little more and go to Cadbury House. Worth no more than £80/night. Rooms are a little tired and being woken up at 6am to a broken alarm was far from ideal! No communication from staff, just other people staying and it took about half an hour to sort! Wouldn't stay again at that price!

What needs pointing out is the restaurant times for dinner, as we booked for 7pm, and when I rang to say we could be later, due to work commitments, I was told they stopped taking food orders at 7.45. Some updating needed at this hotel, in the rooms, But we would definitely stay again. 😊
