Seymour Arms

Lovely place with great people! They made us feel welcomed and went the extra mile to make our stay even better, would thoroughly recommend them to anyone staying in the area, enjoy the soft beds and warming hospitality and drinks with sweet treats for those staying. Thank you!

We had a lovely few nights in august. Room was large, clean and modern for a family of 4. Craig was friendly and always happy to help. There was a Massive double bed! Spacious pub downstairs was lovely to chill out in and the kids loved the friendly atmosphere. Easy journey to chedder and Portishead. Would return again

Lovely stay at The Seymour Arms, pub wasn’t yet open as it had just been taken over by new management but plenty of other pubs a short walk away and we were only looking for accommodation so no issue for us. (I am sure the pub will be up and running soon too). Room was lovely, bright and airy! Also one of the comfiest beds I’ve slept in! Craig was so lovely and welcoming, the perfect host. Would definitely stay here again :)

Stayed here last Thursday. What a friendly team they have there. Pub is due to open in 2 weeks (Bank holiday weekend) following a refurb and should become the heart of the community. Rooms have everything you need. Beds are super comfy and showers are to die for. powerful rainfall ones. Craig is a character, you will not stop laughing with his double entendre's . Once the pub is open this will be the perfect location for either access to the peninsular or as a overnight stay near Bristol Airport (20mins) I work in this area quite often and will be using here as a hub. I'm looking forward to seeing Craig, Sue and Les

We spent two nights in the Woodcock room, whilst attending a wedding at the Aldwick estate. Arrived and advised by a notice, to check-in at the bar downstairs. Not immediately endearing, as the bar person gave us the statutory form to complete, asked for payment up front, our choice for breakfast the following day, gave us a key and told us the room was upstairs. The room itself was OK’ish, although no wardrobe and instead, a portable wheeled hanging rail, which had adopted a rather jaunty angle and certainly would not have taken too much weight. The bathroom, which had a bath with shower over and a rather retro shower curtain, was a little tired and could do with a sympathetic makeover. There is considerable noise from the road at the front of the inn, which we understand is unavoidable. However, there appears to be stud walls between bedrooms/bathrooms, with little use of acoustic materials. Thus, one gets to hear in graphic detail, events occurring in neighbouring rooms. Throughout our stay, we had no cleaning service and no bed making service. Odd, as the in-room commentary, specifically mentions that your room will be serviced between 11:00 and 15:00. Admittedly, we were in the room up until 12:45, preparing for the wedding, but we had made the housekeeper aware of this, so should not have been a problem. We did take dinner in the pub downstairs on our first night and although there was little atmosphere, as the place was somewhat deserted, the food was really very good. Sadly, breakfast was a completely different story. As previously mentioned, you had to select your choice of hot food the previous day. How difficult can it be to prepare two fried eggs on toast with bacon? Clearly, very hard. The resultant solid eggs, with one insipid rasher of bacon, was truly awful. They actually managed this offering, two days on the spin. We did comment, to the young lady, who seemed a bit confused as to what to do about the situation. Anyway, this ‘cooked breakfast’ is complemented by a choice of two juices (not sure if it was cordial or long-life), a few packaged yoghurts and a choice of budget brand cereals. This Inn could be so much better, with some attention to detail and a review of procedure. Blagdon, is a lovely part of the world and affords some great local walks.

We checked on Trip Advisor and it looked ok for a meal and pictures of menus looked great and reviews varied greatly but that can happen. We looked at the website which didn’t say much except under new ownership so booked a 6:30 meal as a bank holiday weekend. When we arrived having walked 10 minutes from our Airbnb it was almost empty and a bit dark. They had no idea 🤷🏻‍♂️ we had booked not that it was needed. We opted to eat outside as it was warmer. Ordered some drinks and the young girl gave us the menu which was pizza 🍕 only, absolutely nothing else no starters no salad, just pizza. So, hey Ho let’s have a pizza. Drinks arrived and as we are choosing the young girl arrived to inform us that they had no cheese 😬 and someone had been dispatched to Weston Super Mare to get some so a delay of 40 minutes to an hour! Honestly, it just cracked us up a limited pizza menu but out of cheese on a bank holiday weekend 🤣🤣🤣 . I explained I was diabetic and could not wait over an hour to eat plus would now have to drive to somewhere to eat and so could not now enjoy the drinks. They offered to book us in another night but we were only there one night and I said I was not prepared to pay. It was a joke!
