We cycled from Bath to The Cross Guns on Monday - my husband has many happy memories of this pub with its beautiful setting. The setting has not changed, the glass of wine was lovely but oh! No the toilets are so disgusting, one for males & one for ladies and outside the main building- great in the rain. My... More

Stayed here at the weekend with my husband as we were hiring a boat with friends for the day. The place is busy but friendly, it is your typical pub with a few bedrooms to stay in. We had room 1 with a "four poster" and found it to be very comfortable. Obviously this isnt 5 star luxury but with... More

A proper pub in a lovely spot (but parking severely limited - unless arriving by boat) situated between the Kennett + Avon Canal and River Avon (fantastic walks). The publican has his own brewery so terrific ales. Meals are reasonably priced, plenty of choice and specials; children and dogs are all welcome, and service is friendly. Best to book for... More

Although I didn't stay here you can't beat this location to stop off at for a drink. If you like your real ales & cider then this is the place for you. Good service & friendly staff. It can be very busy here at weekends or in the summer as you would exspect being right next to the canal. The... More

we hired a boat for half a day and went as far as this pub for some lunch. It was a nice pub. Lots of nice ales to choose from. The food was nice, and it came quickly. We went on a dreary, cold, Friday afternoon in March. I can see that during the Summer, when the canal is really... More

If your thinking of staying here and expecting a warm welcome then you may be disappointed. After a stay of 1 hour and icicles forming on our noses the landlord was asked to turn the heating on, the perfectly reasonable request was met with the response that " this was not a bed and breakfast place" he had let us...

Not many pubs left where you can get a decent affordable Sunday lunch, with all the trimmings! The walk back to the car was very much needed after leaving full after a roast with dessert for less than £15, so excellent value for money. The service was not five star but was swift, polite and to the point. They want... More

Service and welcome was so nice and very homely in there near the fireplace. The home made food is wonderful best ever steak... More
