About this property
Welcome to The Airport Tavern
The Airport Tavern is a straightforward inn located just off Bridgwater Road in Lulsgate, Bristol, less than half a mile from Bristol Airport. Set amidst farmland and positioned along the A38 road, it offers convenient access for travelers seeking easy airport connections. The property features simple, relaxed rooms equipped with TVs and provides a complimentary airport shuttle service to enhance guest convenience.
Facilities at The Airport Tavern include free Wi-Fi, breakfast options, onsite parking, a smoke-free environment, and a bar and restaurant for dining. While the inn is kid-friendly, it does not offer pet accommodations, a fitness center, or pool facilities. This makes it a practical choice primarily for visitors focused on comfort and accessibility rather than extensive on-site amenities.
Guest reviews average a modest 3.6 out of 5 from over 1,300 ratings, reflecting a mix of experiences. While many appreciate the convenient location and straightforward services, the property’s simplicity may not suit those looking for more upscale or feature-rich stays. The inn’s proximity to central airport parking and various nearby hotels offers alternatives depending on traveler preferences.
