The staff were very welcoming. I was traveling alone so decided to book the snug bedroom. I was pleasantly surprised. It was well equipped with tea and coffee facilities, large disabled access wet room. TV and an extra rad if I was cold. For the one night stay it had everything I needed. Breakfast was delicious with fresh orange juice and service you could not fault

2 night business trip, room was nice, clean and comfy. Breakfast was very nice. Dinner was excellent but not the cheapest would have been nice to get a discount as a staying guest. I would definitely stay again when in the area

Great food and location
A nice stay when in the area. The food is good, as are the team. I did hear some locals moaning about both, however that isn't my experience at all. The rooms are good, I had a different room this time and it's probably due for some tlc, however it was serviceable and the bed was comfy etc. The Bowl has a nice feel in a lovely location - it was a stunning evening to sit outside and dine whilst reading a book - with the bell ringing practise starting in the evening.

Country Inn with good food.
Lovely old world Inn. Lovely staff, food and location. Free parking. Comfortable bed. Steep stairs to top floor. Could do with more water pressure in the shower though.

Comfy stopover
I had a great one-night stay at The Bowl. My room was clean and comfortable and the fish and chip supper and full English the next morning were both excellent. Water pressure in the shower was a bit lacklustre but that was the only negative. Will definitely stay here again.

High Quality Place
Pleasant room, everything supplied was well above basic levels. Food was excellent. Breakfast offered some creative options that suited me much better than the traditional "full English" - although this is also on offer and looked very good as well.

I stay in hotels every week but at this price £135 one night the breakfast should’ve been included it is but a full English is an extra £4.50. There was no cereal no fruit no fruit juice and no eggs. You got half a tomato, one mushroom one rasher of streaky bacon, one sausage and a slice of toast extremely disappointing. Nice location with free parking and good amenities in the room but overpriced and asking more for breakfast is ridiculous. Sorry will not be back.

This very special hotel is just what I was looking for, a small hotel, that is very quiet, nowhere near an interstate (noise), has friendly staff, great food, and a very old yet clean pub bar area. We ate two meals there, their included 'free' breakfast was a FULL English breakfast, with SUPERB food, and friendly service. I will definitely stay there with my wife again next time we travel to the Bristol area. Top notch hotel, pub, restaurant, all tied up together in a very quiet and safe place. Thank you Adam, Rhys, and the manager and waitress who I met, and are super-nice and friendly.

Don't normally leave a review but I really enjoyed staying at the Bowl. Loved the room, staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was very good. I was visiting my son who is at UWE so have stayed at other places but I loved this one and certainly return, Thank you!

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The service was decent. The dining room was nice. The food was good. The room however had some issues and particular the bathroom It was very noisy when you ran the water and the toilet did not fit the flooring at all. It was a bit strange.

Raymond

The room and the food was excellent. The only thing that let it down was the service at the evening meal. We had booked for meals on two nights but cancelled the second because of the poor service. I had to go to the bar twice having been presented with the menu when no serving staff had come to take our order after 15 minutes. If I could have rated the room it would have been a 9.
