Best Hotels near Little Sodbury Hill Fort, Bristol

I stayed one night for business. A lovely looking hotel, only minutes from the M5, but set in lovely countryside. I checked in at about 4pm planning on doing computer work in my room, only to find the room not made up from the last guest. I was offered a free drink, and worked from the lounge/bar. This was lucky, as there are 2 wifi passwords - 1 for the bar/lounge (which worked well) and 1 for the rooms, which didn't work at all. Also, there was no phone signal, so couldn't even use 4/5G. I ate in the restaurant. Good service, but the food was very basic and fairly tasteless. Boiling hot (actually burnt my tongue which I can still feel no 2 days later) I paid £15 for fish/chips/peas, which was no better than you'd get in spoons. The breakfast was good. I'd suggest a tv or some music - 5 individual people sitting in silence trying not to eat noisily! The room was clean and had everything you need, but pretty dated, especially the bathroom. The shower screen on the bath leaked when having a shower. The off button did not work on the TV remote, so had to reach down the back of the unit to turn off at the socket. With dinner, this cost over £150 for 1 night, which was double what it was worth.

Beautiful building in stunning grounds with a very stately home appearance. Staff were friendly and helpful, we stayed in a suite which was very luxurious but somewhat confusingly does not have a room number but the name of a poet, however when we were handed the keys the receptionist only mentioned the room number…several minutes later after wandering around in circles looking for the rooms marked as the location for 22-27 we discovered that the e-key wallet had the name Kipling as well as 26…that made it a bit easier. We eat at the restaurant the first evening and the bistro the second evening, food was very good and service quick and attentive at both locations, however the lighting at both was a bit too romantic for my eyes and i struggled to read the menu in the “atmospheric” lighting particularly in the Atrium Bistro. One of the reasons we booked was because of the EV Charging facility and although not a fault of the hotel it was very annoying to see vehicles parked at this location who either could not use the Tesla chargers (other manufacturers EV’s) or had parked at these location with 3 pin plug connections draped out of windows and taking up several spaces. I did actually manage to get a charge the two nights we were there but people should be a bit more thoughtful when using these facilities and park elsewhere once charged or if they cannot charge. The management seemed to shrug their shoulders at this when I complained. The room was of a good size and fittings were excellent along with the en-suite, The windows rattled a bit at night but you have to expect this at this type of building, very comfortable bed which was very large . A good location for touring the area with Gloucester Cathedral, Wotton on the edge, Westonbirt Arboretum all within a short drive.

You get what you pay for. No frills just a decent night sleep. The building is dated but everything we needed. We did not spend anytime in the room other than sleeping so were not looking for anything special. We also had our baby daughter with us. The staff were very helpful before and during our visit responding very quickly to email requests. One thing to note google maps does not recognise a private road at the rear of the property. We were attending a wedding at Berkley which google maps said was 25 mins away. But there is a private road that hotel guests are allowed to access to get on the A38 ( avoiding the sat nav M5 detour) No sound of motorway in room, rear rooms have country views and totally silent.

Stayed for three nights at Filton. We found the reception service very good when we arrived and service generally was excellent. Our room was comfortable and clean and well appointed, with an iron, ironing board, hairdryer and tea and coffee. The air conditioning was easily controllable and the window opened slightly for fresh air. Despite what some previous reviews have said, the complementary breakfast was really very good. Quality sausages, bacon etc with ( for a hotel) good scrambled eggs. Tea and coffee on tap, juices,cereals and a choice of breads, also waffles. Good to see gluten free bread available. There were plenty of fruits and yogurt available . The staff also worked hard at keeping all items topped up. The reason I have given four stars is because the hotel is very poorly signposted we had a nightmare trying to find it in the dark and pouring rain. Apart from this we had a great stay, good to see a hotel being run well, by hard working staff in difficult times for the industry, with recruitment etc. Top Marks!

Hotel location is very good, very satisfied.

Service is good, room equipment is average. Breakfast is very special, but the door locks are old (every time you open the door, you have to kneel on the ground for a long time, like a thief. But the key is not inserted, anxious!). You can charge an extra bed, but you will have to pay for the extra bed (but please prepare for a small enough consumption. Because the waiter is awkward and hard-working when making a bed, it will really make you feel uncomfortable)

I was surprised to have booked an authentic British-style hotel with a history of more than 200 years. Clean, tidy, bright and elegant, the quilt is warm and the heating is sufficient. I ordered breakfast included. Breakfast is very formally ordered from the menu. It is worth more than 20 pounds and is very delicious. I think the price/performance ratio is high. The hotel is very close to the Royal Crescent, but there is a long slope. It is a bit difficult to carry suitcases with you. It is good if you have a car.

I recently stayed over at the YMCA Bath, while on a solo business trip. It ŵas wonderful, the hotel was clean and comfortable (free WiFi) and the Host, a chap named Clayton was so charming, helpful and friendly. He made my stay really great. I would fully recommend the YMCA Bath to anyone looking for a nice place to stay.
