“The Portcullis, housed in a 17th-century pub, promises a historical backdrop for a visit to Chipping Sodbury. Its pet-friendly status and communal vibe could appeal to budget-conscious travelers. Close proximity to Bristol Airport and the M4 and M5 motorways is convenient, though prospective guests should consider the lively bar scene.”

tiny cornflakes boxbroken sash window

The breakfast setup was AWFUL! A tiny box of cornflakes and NO spoon. There was a coffee machine but no jug. cheap white sliced bread in the fridge but NO knives. The room itself was dingy and unwelcoming. A broken sash window let in a horrible damp smell from the bathroom. To top it off, I had to balance a mirror on the windowsill just to get ready since there was NO dressing table.
