Trip Advisor Review - 1 July 2010
I have had to stay away from home many times in the last few years - and I dread the faceless corporate bedroom factories that are so completely devoid of warmth and hospitality. In complete contrast, the Alveston House is living proof that a genuine welcome in a friendly environment still exists, and that if the person at the top really cares, then so do all the rest of the staff. And I have never before come across a hotel restaurant that consistently serves excellent meals. Beds are wonderfully comfortable. And your breakfast is cooked to order! If you're visiting North Bristol/South Glos with a mid-range budget, DON'T book yourself in anywhere else.

This is just to let you know how much we enjoyed our Weekend Break with you. Our room was very good, well maintained, everything worked, and the meals were delicious and well served. In fact everything was done to make our visit enjoyable.
We had a walk in your garden before we left and wish we had had longer. With best wishes to you all.

From the friendly initial contact to departing, we found the staff friendly but not intrusive or "matey", helpful and efficient. Room had recently been decorated to a high standard. Food was excellent and the restaurant had a relaxed but elegant ambience. Good place to relax after a busy day.

Six friends had a completely enjoyable stay. The staff were the most friendly and efficient encountered anywhere, this from very well travelled people.
All the facilities and food were excellent, we felt welcome and wanted throughout our stay.
Thank you!

I recently stayed at your hotel for two nights on a business trip and just felt compelled to take time out to write and say how much I enjoyed my stay.
I have stayed in all kinds of hotels on business trips for many years but your hotel really stands out from the rest in terms of both customer service and fabulous food!
I have never experienced such a genuinely warm welcome at the end of a long drive and outstanding customer service when I had trouble connecting to your free wireless (the lady on reception even got the wireless company technical support on the phone so I could talk with him)
I was also really impressed with the food served in your Restaurant - everything I tried was absolutely exquisite with attention to detail that made it also a treat for the eyes.
I would be most grateful if you could pass on my appreciation and praise to your staff and thank them for making my stay such a delightful experience.

Very convenient location for Bristol and surrounding area, without being city-fied. It was perfect for me as I had conference in Bristol Fri and Monday, so wanted a quiet place to 'lie low' and relax over the weekend, somethwre that didn't feel like all the other hotels that I have to stay in when working. So this was lovely - homely yet very professional. Personal service, great food, attentive yet non-intrusive staff. I would recomment it to anyone. My only advice would be to check with the staff what room you're booking as not all rooms have been updated in the style shown on website - all are no doubt clean and comfortable as mine was, but not all are in the New England style, mine was slightly dated in style. (Although as I say, perfectl clean and comfortable.) A great weekend - thank you to great staff.

My wife and I and one of our children stayed for a weekend break as a base for visiting Bath and Bristol. Having read the reviews on Trip advisor I was comfortable with my decision to book. The Hotel did not disappoint - the reception was very friendly and welcoming and took us to our room which was perfectly neat and tidy and well appointed - care and thought had obviously gone into the preparation by housekeeping. The dinner was excellent, a high quality steak which is quite rare to get in this country and the service was absolutely first class (also quite rare). I travel a lot on business and am very picky with quality. This hotel is exceptional and I will definately be staying again. If you want a worry free and pampered time this is a good place to stay. Many thanks to all the staff.

Found by chance and we found the level of service and attention from the many staff memorable. Clean and comfortable room and a first class dinner added to our stay. To find such a delight is rare and it is just a shame that we live so far away. Our next visit to Cribbs Causeway will have to allow another visit.

Just spent the weekend at this delightful hotel. On arrival on Friday evening we were immediately impressed by the welcome we received. Our room was large, airy and very tastefully decorated as well as being spotlessly clean. We decided to eat in the hotel restaurant on our first evening and it did not dissapoint. The food was of a very high standard, beautifully presented and served by very friendly and proffessional staff in lovely surroundings . Breakfast was also very good, with plenty of choice and a bottomless coffee pot!... an excellent break and real value for money.

This hotel was booked by my office and I expected the usual tired, worn business hotel with uncaring, indifferent staff and equally indifferent food. How wrong could I be!! This is an excellent hotel, the room I stayed in was clean, had a very comfortable bed and was equipped with TV and all the usual extras, tea coffee etc. No mini bar, but hey, who needs it when you've a bar downstairs staffed by friendly helpful people? The food was fabulous, I've eaten in some fine restaurants and this place could hold its own against most of them. I only had one night at this little gem but I will be back. Excellent.

I stayed here initially for one week, but liked it so much that I extended my stay to 10 nights! Lovely comfortable bed, nice quiet room (no traffic noise despite close to main road). Fantastic food both for breakfast and evening meals. All the staff were very friendly and very helpful. I didn't want to leave!! It's a perfect location for anyone wanting to reach Bristol/South West and Wales and I would recommend 100% to anyone looking for an excellent hotel within quick & easy road access.

This letter is to thank you for the fantastic effort you put in to make our weekend really special. We are so glad that we booked your hotel for the event. I was very impressed with the way things went so smoothly and all the guests said the s
ame; from the catering to the accommodation, it was perfect. It is a very comfortable place to stay.

The General feeling of 'can do' and helpfulness was so welcome, when many establishments these days do not always supply these traits.
Mr & Mrs Andrews - 16 January 2009
We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and you have a gem of a hotel here. Thank you very much to everyone who has served/helped us.

Just a line to thank you for your great hospitality during our stay breaking the journey from Scotland to Devon. You have superb friendly staff, the food was spot on and we would certainly return.
Mr & Mrs Goad - 10 December 2008
A perfect gem to stay at for any visit to the Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Forest of Dean area. Comfortable, elegant, refined and most relaxing. A hospitable, welcoming, courteous and attentive staff and a first class kitchen. Two visits a year for the past 5 years says it all; highly recommended.
