Great place with great food and service! We were really pleasantly surprised, it’s a little oasis hidden from the busy road. The beer garden is fab!

Great beer garden and food

This place is a pub with rooms and my feeling is that the rooms are generally rented by working men on short stays. Not couples in their 70s like me and my husband. For example there was a clothes rail but no coat hangers. And no hair dryer but plenty of USB points. The bed was large and very comfortable. The main plus of the Crafty Cow was the staff. They were all lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful. Especially the brilliant Graham who did source me a hairdryer. I’m a smoker so the large beer garden with a covered area was a big plus. The food was fabulous and on a Friday evening it was very busy. They don’t do breakfast but there are various choices about 15 minutes walk away. Also a shop 5 minutes away. We stayed there because it was near friends we were visiting and would definitely stay there again if in the area. Another plus is that residents get 10% off all food and drink purchased there. What’s not to like!

Highly recommended

Friendly welcome, clean room (most important), comfortable bed (also important), nice view over park, excellent food and good choice of beers. Easy walk to Southmead hospital (saves a taxi fare, which was one of the reasons I chose it). What's not to like?

About average for a pub. Lot of noise from outside and street. No double glazing. Lots of condensation on the windos. Separate bathroom, down the corridor. Shower a bit weak. No light over sink. V difficult to shave. £45 should be the max price. Not vfm at all.

Comfortable family friendly

Nice family pub. It can be a bit noisy during pub open hours but my family were very comfortable and had a great nights sleep. The bar below sells nice selection of beers and the play area kept our daughter busy so we could relax.

Basic but comfortable.

Basic but comfortable. The twin beds were fine. The separate bathroom in the twin room was dated and the shower had a lot of black mould, so I decided to go without. The television remote control was broken. Otherwise fine.

Great stay, great pub with great vibes!

Really comfortable room, staff at the bar were lovely although we never needed any Healy and were quite self sufficient. Rooms were newly decorated and the beds were great! Couple of issues, the shower head in the Brunel room was leaky (not to the point of it being a major issue) and we think there could do with being a curtain in the small bathroom window for privacy and to help keep it dark. The cold tap in the Clifton room wasn’t working. Overall the stay was great though. One word of warning, the bar downstairs is noisy till about 11pm. It didn’t bother us as we really enjoyed using the beer garden ourselves (food at the pub is great too!) but if you are sensitive about noise you need to be aware of it
