The Rising Sun

I have to say the room itself was mediocre - lovely decorated room but not that clean and very noisy if you have a room facing the road. However the noise can't be helped as I am guessing it is a listed building which is why there is no double glazing? This can also be solved with ear plugs ! This said I have given 5 stars to my stay here reflecting the fantastic staff plus amazing home cooked food. It was a wild Tuesday evening and had to stay somewhere overnight after a delayed flight. We chose The Rising Sun trying to avoid soul less chains and it offered free parking. We could not have been looked after better. I travel a lot for work and I have not experienced such friendly, welcoming and professional staff in months - namely Molly and Pete. Plus the food was tip top - both dinner and breakfast. They guy serving the breakfast was also awesome. Kudos to you all and thank you again.

Asked for a quiet room. Was able to check in early however, was given a room with incessant road noise and a security light that shone right into the room till 1:30 am. If you stay here in summer you have to leave the window open as it is too hot so cannot shut out the road noise. Also the shutters when closed do not keep out the light. On one night neighbour in next door room sat in his car drunk, smoking and chatting under our window till one thirty am then came back and watched TV and made noise till three am. It is understandable that the hotel can't do anything about noisy neighbours but there seemed to be no other guests in the other rooms so wondered why he was put right next to us. The room was not made up during our stay and the cafeteria was left dirty from the previous guests. The mattress was saggy and the bedding poor quality The room was the size of a shoebox. The bedroom and bed were so tiny that if I turned I bumped my head against the bedside table. There was no management to address any issues to apart from a breakfast waitress who though friendly could do nothing. On checkout a junior staff member asked me how my stay went, it was obvious he could do nothing but express sorrow. Breakfast on one morning was great on the other not so. Very inconsistent. Car park had random discarded bits of furniture that should be cleaned up. There seems to be a lack of management oversight. I guess it could have been worse, at least the staff were nice :-)

Would definitely recommend this hotel. We had a lovely meal and the room was comfy and had everything we needed. The room could’ve been cleaner, but overall it was ok. Breakfast was a bit of a wait, really they should’ve have said to people. We didn’t mind, but others gave up waiting. When it came though it was really delish so I’d say worth the wait just could’ve done with more cups of tea.

We enjoyed our 1 night stay at this pub. We got a very good deal through *********** so much better value than staying in Bristol. The room was very comfortable, stylish and recently renovated. Wifi was easy and good. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was modern with a great rainfall shower. The full size toiletries were excellent quality. Considering it is a pub, it was very quiet to sleep at night, although it was a Wednesday in February so might be different on a weekend in summer. The pub was buzzing, very nicely decorated and the young staff were friendly and competent. The food was very good. Join the brewery loyalty scheme and you get 25% off food on Wednesdays and other special offers. Quiet in the morning but we enjoyed the little cooked breakfast and again, the waiter was helpful and friendly. Drive a few miles toward Bristol and the Park and Ride is right on that road. Makes visiting Bristol cheaper and more pleasant. The management need to update their photos on here, I wouldn't have stayed if I'd seen those pictures before!

We’ve enjoyed visiting The Rising Sun many times, however this time we came away feeling very disappointed. We ordered a chicken dish and a filo pastry pie. The portion sizes seemed a lot smaller than before and although we don’t have large appetites we left feeling hungry. The smaller meals do not mean smaller prices sadly, quite the opposite. All in all, a disappointing meal.

Had a very nice lunch here, sitting in the lovely peaceful garden with comfortable seating. Very friendly and helpful service. Food was really delicious and beautifully presented. Large car park, plenty of space. Good for families. Would recommend highly
