TV did not work was told by owner it was due to atmospherics and he would check it again the next day. I asked if he had checked the other TV’s at the hotel and he said no, later that evening he plugged in a portable that worked. We reported the central light bulb had blown and he said he... More

Have just returned from two nights at the Dragon House and I would highly recommend it. First of all the owners are warm and friendly, and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. We stayed in Room 1 which is a large double room with a separate dressing room on the side. There was a King size... More

If you need a hotel with country character that serves great food then this is the one. I visit for a weekend every May (local event) and have done now for 5 years. Never disappointed with the food,evening meals are great, wine good AND affordable and the cooked breakfasts wonderful. The building is old so expect wonky floors and a... More

Found this as a late availability break on eBay, and secured for what we thought was a good price - around £40 per night for all 4 of us. Cheaper than a budget hotel... and much more room! Property is self-contained / self-catered and furnished in an 'olde worlde' style, located off a small courtyard to the rear of the... More

Just stayed Monday - Friday in Wisteria Cottage. We come here every year and are never disappointed. This is an old cottage with loads of character, very clean and well furnished. They are happy to allow my dog who is also welcome in the bar area in the Dragon House Hotel adjoining the cottage. We have always found the staff... More

This small hotel is well situated for exploring the North Somerset coast. It is an old building set in its own grounds with ample parking. There is some road noise being on the A39, but I did not find this a problem at night. The room I had (4) was spacious; double bed en-suite with a private lounge. The bed... More

Just had a weekend at the Dragon Hotel and wished we hadn't bothered!!!! The room was clean, but cold and the rest of the hotel was freezing as well. Harvey clearly not keen to add fuel to the fire, far from roaring, more like burnt out! Had soup for starter but no where on the menu did it say that... More

Don't bother booking, if you really want to go to this part of the country there are much friendlier choices. The place could be lovely but the owner Harvey is the most unwelcoming person I have ever met, had dinner in the restaurant, ok, nothing to shout about and cooked how they wanted it not us. Sat in the bar... More

I would like to thank Harvey and his staff for a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend. as with a previous reviewer I was a bit wary as we had booked through groupon, believe me we had nothing to be wary about. The bedroom room was spacious and spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable and hence we had two very good... More
