Having fully researched the area for our overnight stay to connecting flights this is my honest review: Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely softly spoken gentleman who showed us to our room and explained WiFi, separate bathroom facilities and check out procedures. We then had dinner in the establishment which was amazing, hot and fresh! Really please with our meal and the attentiveness of the staff! For the price this is a decent overnight stay for our flight. Highly recommended and will use again!

Stunning food. We had steak and chips. Sounds simple, but nope; this was the most delicious, gourmet plate of loveliness. Even the chips like a cross between wedges and crinkle cut and butterflies. And the steak, oh the steak. And the staff! Wonderful. I can’t wait to go back and try the Indian dishes.

My wife and I enjoyed fish and chips at The Darlington. Very good quality dish and I would highly recommend. The manager and chef are really friendly and resolve any minor issues immediately. All in all a very nice pub, good menu and value for money.

Whilst travelling to and from Bristol Airport on the 6th and 14th September, four of us had dinner two evenings at this lovely pub and were not disappointed. We were welcomed with warm smiles and food that was exceptional. On our first evening we had starters of mussels, calamari, halloumi fries and whitebait. Portion size was more of a main meal - no complains though - and was out of this world. For our mains we had three beer battered fish and chips plus one hand carved honey and mustard ham - again portion size and food was amazing. Sadly no room for a pudding though. We were so impressed that we decided to eat here again on our return from holiday. Our flight was delayed and we arrived just after their kitchens had closed. We explained our situation and without any hesitations, they very kindly took a choice of main meal and provided us with food as outstanding as our first evening. Such a shame this pub is no where near to where we live but without doubt we would highly recommend that you try this place. A big 'thank you' to the staff that were on both evenings and an even bigger 'thank you' to the chef. If we should ever fly from Bristol again - we will definitely eat here again.

Well what can I say, it has to be the worst place I've booked to stay needless to say I didnt stay I'd rather lose the money!! Both my mother and I booked 2 nights between flights, 1stly we were greated with being called "dear" 😡 then we were shown how to access the room, bearing in mind my mother's 74, we were shown through the dining area, through a 2nd kitchen then out back, where no attention to decoration had been taken, it was dirty and messy, then through another door, on the otherside of the door was the smallest, steepest set of stairs I've even seen, I appreciate this is an old building but seriously it was a struggle for me with an over night bag to climb the stairs, mother had no chance she literally had to go up on her hands and knees, there's no way you'd ever get a suitcase up the stairs, and tbh I'm not sure how the stairs passed the fire regs!! however the room was well decorated the en suite showroom was nice apart from the remains of toothpaste and spit left on the wall by the sink! The bed throw was a nice touch if it wasn't full of dirty marks and stains, that was it for us we left and found alternative accommodation.

Came across this place before flying out of Bristol (just beyond silver parking if driving). Guys offer a wide menu but their curries are fantastic wife is coeliac so has to eat gluten free no problem at all and she had a mild chicken curry. I had a brilliantly spiced lamb rogan josh which was huge couldn't finish it but so good. Restaurant very tasteful and spotless well done.

Don't order the vegetable curry; this is a pack of frozen veg in a Curry sauce. Naan breads and starters are just bought in and not cooked fresh. Our main meals were bought to us whilst we were eating out starters. They tried to tidy around us whilst some of us were still eating. The kasmiri Curry was tasty and chicken dishes had succulent chicken. On balance though, it is not somewhere I would visit again.

Thrilled that there was somewhere so close to where we were staying especially since it was by complete accident that we were staying here at all service could have been a little friendlier however nothing I would drop a star for.

Visited here twice last week on departure and return of our holiday from Bristol airport. We stayed at the hotel opposite and were very impressed with the food. Nice selection and very tasty. Good portion sizes and well worth the price. We loved the chicken skewers (sauce was amazing( and the burgers - the best chips I've ever had! WIll return when we have an airport stop over next.

A really nice surprise of a pub. Fantastic welcome as we were staying the night and incredibly polite and professional staff. Menu was fantastic drawing from many classic styles and quality put most main stream pubs to shame. Only draw back was the vile racist stood at the bar clutching his half drunken bottle of wine complaining about everything possible (in order to refuse to pay the bill ) despite demanding to take the remaining wine. A man so much of a embarrassment to the human race that he told the delightful guy behind the bar that his accent meant he “didn’t understand English “ gladly he left to applause from all the grown up polite members of society that witnessed his hissy fit ! You know who you were !

Went for an evening meal before flight from airport, a couple of miles down the road. Fairly typical pub menu with Asian twist. First choice item not available when we visited. However food arrived quickly, well cooked and large portions. Background music a bit loud for our taste. Appeared to be predominantly a restaurant rather than pub. Nice welcome from friendly and attentive staff.

The menu is awful. Nothing offering locally sourced produce or multi cuisine as the advert banner outside the premises claims. There are only around 5 main meals to choose from and my friend and I were told two of those weren’t available that evening. The menu itself can be likened to a takeaway flyer. Really disappointed and won’t be going back.

The Darlington was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed the night on our way to the airport and had an evening meal - not always easy on a Sunday. The food was good, an English-Indian fusion, I wish I could have stayed longer to try some of the dishes available. Our room was fine although the bathroom was separated by a corridor it was exclusively ours. It was rather warm and we are not used to traffic noise so we had to keep the window closed, the staff had however thoughtfully provided a fan, but we did not get the best night's sleep, hence the 4 and not a 5.

My girlfriend and I stayed here as it it very close to Bristol airport. We booked it as the rooms looked very clean & modern. On arrival we were greeted by a very polite member of staff. He asked if we would be having breakfast. We had a 6am flight so would have missed breakfast. So instead he made us a packed breakfast and left it outside our bedroom door which we thought was a nice touch. The room was the perfect size. The shower was great. If I had to pick something I didn’t like it would be that the heating was on fully blast in the bathroom all night which meant the room was roasting hot and where our room was facing the road it was to loud to have the window open! We would 100% stay here again! Very impressed!

We opted for the 2 course Sunday roast dinner (2 courses for £16.95) - we both chose roast beef which came with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, plenty of vegetables and delicious roast beef gravy. It was excellent and the desserts we chose - brownie and sticky toffee pudding were fantastic! The service was friendly and the prices were reasonable. This is a great option if you are near Bristol Airport and need something to eat.

This pub is a great find and very easy to get to. I needed somewhere for lunch in between dropping off a friend and picking up my son at Bristol Airport. I enjoyed a lovely sandwich that I was delighted to discover, was served with chips and salad. It was just the job and so much nicer than the catering available at the airport. The pub is lovely and warm and cosy with a log fire and friendly staff. I also enjoyed a great pot of tea and was made to feel most welcome. It would be easy to over look this place, as it is just beside a main road, but appearances are deceptive, it is lovely inside and the staff could not have been more helpful.

Staff were lovely and attentive, the layout of the restaurant is exquisite a very charming place. Unexpected find! However, I ordered the Chicken supreme and to my surprise it was raw in the middle. Considering the chicken it self was cut in half I do not see how the chef was so oblivious to this. The waitress was very apologetic and got it sorted right away. If it wasn't for the amazing staff at the front off this establishment i would have rated it 0/5 if I were able to that is, but unfortunately due to being served raw chicken I feel the chef has let their fellow team down. Which is truly such a shame.

I’ve passed this pub a thousand times and never given it a glance - but, what a revelation!! Do not be put off by the exterior (as I have been in the past). What a charming, lovely clean bright modern interior with a really warm and friendly welcome from the staff !!! The menu was fantastic and myself and colleague had the “todays special” of a ploughman’s - it is by far THE best and biggest ploughman’s I have ever had!!! I want to try more of their menu, so I absolutely will be back to try more with friends and family . Superb place to eat and drink, and if their rooms are anything like their food, I imagine they are also fab. Just goes to show - never judge a book by its cover !

We had a meal here whilst we stayed nearby before flying out of Bristol. What a find!!! We then decided to stop again on the way back and have a roast and met some friends. We all enjoyed our meal and again excellent service. We will see you again next time we are off somewhere. Thanks guys

I was among a group of walkers who had lunch in the pub yesterday and both the food and the surroundings were excellent. Inside, the bar is light, warm and welcoming. The fish goujons and chips were beautifully crisp and tasty and the puddings just what was needed after a rather damp walk. At two courses for £10 very good value.

Modern take on an old English pub. The lovely wood burner makes it very cosy too. Popped in for a coffee due to the snow outside. Ale is well kept. Returned for dinner - the gurnard with bean stew starter was exquisite! Pork belly delicious & the fish and chips with samphire tartare sauce superb. Wine list is good value and the Merlot at £14.40 was good. Hope to return to try the desserts!

Called in for dinner while staying in a B and B close by before a wedding. Both of us ordered goats cheese starter and fish and chips. Starter was completely cold when cut - no nice hot goats cheese. Told the waiter it was “frozen” inside and he took them away. Manager, Andre came over and rather aggressively told us it wasn’t frozen they don’t serve frozen food - no apology! Then the fish and chips turned up and clearly we weren’t getting a starter. Fish was delicious but the bill when it came 30 mins after being requested still had the starter on it. We told them we weren’t paying for a starter we didn’t t have, one was then taken off - I had to leave at that point as I would have lost my temper. Eventually, the cost of the second starter was removed but still no apology from Andre or even any sight of him! He left his very charming young waiting staff to deal with it. Not acceptable. All could have been handled so differently, we all make mistakes but not to acknowledge them is inexcusable particularly in hospitality. Unlikely to be here again but certainly wouldn’t recommend it. It’s not difficult to cook ready prepared goats cheese after all!

Stopped on the way to Bristol Airport, beautiful food and clean. The steak and Stilton pie was outstanding and the home made chips were to die for. My 5 year old daughter had the children’s fish and chips and nothing was left on her plate, which never happens. Highly recommended and will definitely be back!!

We had a chicken dish and a steak pie. The chicken with a fancy name was juicy, but basically just chicken...no special flavour. My husband thought the steak pie was excellent. The mushroom soup, made in house, was excellent as were all the vegetables served with the meal. The brown bread, which is apparently baked locally, was excellent.

on way to bristol airport stopped here for a break. no journey prep it just happened to be near enough to the airport to time our arrival. unfortunately kitchen was closed between lunch/dinner service. they rustled up a VERY good sandwich, a lovely pint, and good tips to save money on picking up from terminal.

The outside of this pub on a major and very fast road, would not encourage you to stop, but you should! the interior is very stylish -and they are dog friendly! But it is the food that is the best element! the chips (home made) are the best I have had, and the mussels were as stated, ''the best''. the Darlington burger was also delicious. The pub is near to the airport and would be a good stop off. we live near Burnham, but will go again.(They have rooms as well)

A traditional pub handily located just a mile or two from Bristol Airport, we called in on spec one lunchtime. Perhaps surprisingly given their location, lunch service stops at 3:00; I would have thought given their location they could easily sustain all day trade.

My wife and I were stranded at Bristol airport after our flight was postponed 24 hrs. Found a very nice room, polite and welcoming service, good evening meal and excellent breakfast. Would visit again when using Bristol or Bristol airport. Thanks for the short notice hospitality.

I really liked the food however I’m currently trying not to cry my self to sleep where I’m having a reaction from intolerance and allergies that were clearly stated when I ordered. Please get on top of it before someone else worse then me becomes seriously unwell !

Such a great spot to get off the high street. Grab lunch, breakfast, coffee and home made cake (and ice cream).I love that it’s owner run and not a chain or an investment business. Sit and eat and let your kids have fun, or enjoy the sounds of the other kids living it up! Dogs are welcome too. (Even big old Dalmatians !)

Very good food and local beers. Evening clearly starts at 6pm as volume of music went up to intrusive, need to speak loudly level.

First time back at the Mill House in a long time and wasn't disappointed. We had a lovely relaxed lunch with friends and our waitress Jackie went over and above. Very friendly and welcoming.
