I stayed at Backwell House between Sept 2021 through to Feb 2022 and I found it to one of the best hotels I've stayed at in a long time.  The bedrooms and beds themselves so comfortable, better than my own!  Food is cooked and presented to an exceptionally high standard and the overall ambience very relaxing whether you are on business or a romantic get away.  The staff are so helpful and nothing is ever too much trouble.  Set in beautiful grounds with a fantastic view. Highly recommended whatever the time of year.

Relaxing and fabulous food

A really lovely hotel. 

We booked a one night stay to celebrate my Birthday. 

The staff were very welcoming and our room (Hobbs) was incredible. 

We went with the dinner, bed and breakfast package. The food was excellent and all in all our one night stay with the three course meal was good value for money. 

Special mention to the team covering breakfasts. You appeared to be rushed off your feet when we came down but everyone was really upbeat and we had an excellent breakfast. Wouldn’t normally book into the same place twice but we’re considering a return visit it was that good 👌🏻

Five stars from us

We booked an over night stay with dinner and breakfast. On arrival we received a warm welcome, after checking we were taken to our room and left to settle in before dinner. The room was very comfortable and clean and had  nice shower room. We dressed and went to the restaurant and was shown to the lounge for a pre dinner drink. The dining room was warm and inviting. We selected three courses from the festive menu all were beautifully presented and full of flavour. We slept soundly in a comfortable bed and rose to enjoy a full English breakfast. Throughout our stay the management and staff were all friendly and attentive. Blackwell house is surrounded by beautiful ground and although close to a main road, very quiet and relaxing.

Relaxing break

A really good lunch in lovely surroundings - food and service were amazing. I had cauliflower soup which was very tasty along with olive bread, followed by turkey - the stuffing was delicious. Also shared a stunning bottle of Malbec. Special mention to Miles and his team.

Christmas Lunch Treat

We had a simply fabulous weekend at Backwell for our wedding on 9th October - a family meal the night before, exclusive use of the venue through until the Sunday, and a magical ceremony set in the wonderful grounds. We cannot thank everyone at Backwell enough - for the support of Lotty, wedding coordinator, in helping our plan the event, as well as Sam and Leanne and all the rest of the staff for letting us feel at home and spoiling us rotten. The food was glorious, service impeccable, and rooms indulgent & comfortable. Everyone commented on what a wonderful and perfect venue Backwell was for our event and some are plotting to hold their own events in the New Year.

Simply fabulous!

I was travelling alone and wanted an overnight stay before an early flight at Bristol airport  ( only 3.5 miles away). I was blown away by Backwell House, the grounds were stunning and the quality of the food was top notch, if I’d stayed a second night I could happily have ordered the same dishes two nights running, top marks to the chef.

Front of house service was very attentive and the room I had was comfortable

A hidden gem

This compact country manor is a fabulous short break destination for anyone wanting a place to relax whilst exploring Bristol and Somerset. It's a solid four star hotel - very comfortable with stylish decor straddling 'boutique hotel' and 'gentleman's club'. We actually got to experience two of the rooms - Hobbs and Robbins - both of which were large enough to accommodate a baby cot. However, for us, Hobbs, with its free-standing bath, windows that opened wider and working shutters by far was the better room. Being quite pale in decor, Robbins looked more tired, and we were unable to use the shutters in the same way to draw the curtain halfway around our daughter's bed (I appreciate this hack isn't something many visitors will need). Also, the Robbins bathroom looks impressive at first, until you realise there is no shelf space and it just all feels rather inconvenient. So, 5* for Hobbs and maybe 3.5* for Robbins. Reading a book in the bath in Hobbs with the sun coming up over the rose gardens was an absolute highlight - bliss! 
One area the hotel is really missing a trick is the bar knowledge and selection. The cocktails are limited (and more like a spirit and mixer than a proper cocktail, when you read the ingredients), but the real failing is the wines, which weren't good. We didn't get any sense of passion for the alcohol on offer, and 
 didn't have a single glass of good wine despite sampling. Passion for the bar offerings would really elevate this place, and help make it a 'destination' hotel - - it already has so much going for it.
The really wonderful thing about this compact manor is the gardens. It was so lovely to explore the roses and tomato plants. 
A very nice stay indeed.

Very enjoyable post-lockdown stay

We really had the most amazing time at Backwell House from start to finish. Everyone who works there could not have been more kind and helpful. What a hard working team. The food, drink, bedrooms, all were perfect with any adhoc request we had all delivered with their own ideas and style. 

We had a small wedding with family staying in majority of the rooms, ceremony on site, drinks and food afterwards. It was all perfect and I cannot fault it. We loved walking around the grounds, enjoying breakfast in the conservatory, relaxed drinks in the lounge and walks in the rose garden. We had several children of all ages and they all had space to roam and were very welcome. 

All meals were delicious. We really loved it. I hoped it would be a special place and I could not have hoped for more. We will be back every year and more besides. Super friendly and relaxed staff and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

A secret wedding at Backwell House

Went for Sunday lunch a return after the long lock down, still the same quality and excellent service, plenty of food and value for money, staff were great, if you visit during the summer take a walk around the garden take in the smells of the flowers, thanks to all the staff will see you again soon.

Sunday Lunch excelent

Wonderful meal with my wife celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary. We also had our sons aged almost 11 and 8 with us (no babysitter available) who loved their meals and the whole experience as much as we did. 

We had the early bird menu as were there before 7. This was superb value at £22.50 for 3 courses. The children’s meals were £15 for 3 courses. Excellent value as they were almost adult sized portions of top quality food. There’s no children’s menu on the website that I could see but they do have one. 

Service was excellent and they are very welcoming of children. The food really was delicious. Cannot fault my ham hock terrine, daube of beef (amazing!) and brownie with salted caramel ice cream. 

Definitely intend to go back again soon as it’s local to us in Backwell. I’d also rate the food, service, experience and value for money much higher than our local gastro pubs, some of which have gone a bit crazy with their prices.
