Timbrells Yard in Wiltshire

Stayed for three nights on a bed , breakfast and evening meal deal which we thought was very good value. The river view room was very nice. All the food we had was faultlessly prepared and really enjoyable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We took the train into Bath on one of the days and walked to Bath along the canal on the other day , a really lovely walk. Bradford on Avon is a pretty town with some interesting shops and we hope to return sometime.

We had a lovely stay at Timbrell's Yard - wonderful quiet and comfortable room beautifully designed, delicious food (especially breakfast) and all the team were lovely. The breakfast team were standout in particular, so welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be coming back!

Celebrating my retirement on the evening of the 30th October Being a mid week event and people finishing work at different times over the course of the evening fourteen colleagues and myself ordered drinks and nine of us ordered food. The place it's self is lovely food was good I had the fish and chips the fish was slighly over cooked the batter was far too crispy other than that everything else was fine. We had a lovely evening up until spotting a rat run across the floor and around the restaurant!! I understand that Timbrells Yard is along side the river but a rat in the restaurant is totally unelectable. We brought it to the staffs attention and they chased round looking for it it was behind a sofa but they couldn't catch it. The staff were quite blasé about it and just said well unfortunately we are next to the river, no real apology, or concern considering between us we had spent a considerable amount of money. My worry is was the rat around all evening, was it in the kitchen or was there more than one !! Who knows. One thong is for sure we won't be returning.

We visited for Sunday lunch to celebrate a 60th Wedding Anniversary. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. One of our party was held up in traffic but it was no trouble that we were delayed in ordering our meals. This was our first visit on the recommendation of friends and we will definitely be returning.

Lovely stay! Amazing service from the entire team - check in, bar and breakfast and our pup was made very welcome! We didnt have dinner but breakfast food was excellent and great coffee! Our go to choice when staying in Bradford on Avon as rooms are also comfortable with all you need Thank you!

The last time we ate here we said we wouldn’t go again and this meal with six of us was equally bad. I chose plaice which was minuscule and the only option was potato salad to have with it which I don’t like so asked for a salad which consisted of a few spinach leaves and lettuce ones. Our guests had Asian belly pork which my Husband also ordered but he got a pork chop . I wanted Rose’ not the red wine and my Husband had to go and find somebody . That definitely will be the last meal we have there.

Happened to come across the venue and decided to try it out. Great location, great service. Imogen was very friendly and welcoming.

Lovely food, imaginative and tasty. Excellent service. Great indoor and outdoor seating areas for warmer weather. Basically couldn't fault this restaurant. A visit to the loos whilst you're there is highly recommended!! Immaculately clean and gorgeous scented hand wash/lotions.

We dined for Saturday lunch at this restaurant. The location is good with outdoor areas available. Service was excellent making for a good experience. However food was a bit disappointing, Fish and Chips we did not feel was good, the Foccacia starter didnt have a good ratio or oil to balsamic. Also, although slightly beyond their control, some dogs were barking quite frequently and loudly which made the experience less relaxing. (We have our own dog so nothing against dogs in general terms!)

What a lovely stay at Timbrell’s Yard! I ate at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner each day and not only was the food delicious but the service was amazing too. Imogen was friendly, helpful and efficient!

We decided to take our visiting family for a decent meal out and went to Timbrells Yard midweek. Only one decent beer on but sat outside and enjoyed the ambience. However, our meal was not great. The chicken was good, the veggie option pretty decent but the steak!! Unbelievably bad considering it was a sirloin at £32 - it would have been a disappointment if we’d bought it from a supermarket for £2.50. Tough, full of gristle and just horrible. I notice other people have said the steak is poor here. Can’t understand why they don’t get their meat from the excellent butchers on the Shambles 200 yards away. Service not great either - this place is going downhill I’m afraid.

Went for Father's Day breakfast, the service was poor but forgivable as it was unusually busy and the staff were too thinly spread. My biggest gripe is that the veggie breakfast cost the same as the full breakfast despite there just being less on the plate. That seems like daylight robbery and I don't want to be conned like that again so won't be going back.

Delicious food and great service. Very friendly atmosphere and good selection of interesting wine. Interesting menu using locally sourced ingredients. Had a lovely evening celebrating a wedding anniversary.

My family and several friends stayed here for the weekend of 7th - 9th June, using the hotel as a base when we attended a wedding nearby. We were given a warm welcome at reception, and helped with parking arrangements for the weekend. Our rooms were very comfortable and the lotions and potions in the bathroom were a level above the standard provisions in hotels. We only ate breakfast at Timbrells Yard, served on both mornings by the delightful and super helpful Olivia. Excellent full English on both mornings for me but the vegetarian options were judged to be "very tasty". We used the bar on Friday night and enjoyed the atmosphere and the range of beers on offer.

I have been living in BOA for 4 years and Timbrell’s was one of my favourite to eat/drink I have a painful degenerative illness so my mobility has reduced over the years. It has just been refurbished and the access for mobility has significantly decreased. I have been here twice recently and first time was kept waiting for such a long time for our food order to be taken because she was chatting to other customers and by the time the order was taken they had run out of certain things. I was irritated and she wasn’t bothered and said I can hear you and see you. Today I had a latte and it was still problematic as it’s a longer journey which is hard when you’re in continual pain. I asked for help to open a door and I said that the refurbishment hadn’t been done with mobility in mind and mentioned that things were meant to be getting easier for us under the equalities act not more difficult and he said in his viewpoint there was no difference and that I was wrong. I have many places that I can go to for coffee so am not limited to there.

Really enjoyable lunch. Very friendly waitress who was a delight. Food was very good. Service was a bit slow at the start, but we weren't in a rush so not a problem.

Limited expensive menu, small portions, poor Ales assortment, they don't take all cardinale despite being a hotel restaurant.

Visited with friends and was given a great table overlooking the river on a snowy day. Glad it was dog friendly. Waitress was stand-out friendly and made our visit - we all said we wished we had her energy! Brunch was really nice, only slight improvement could be larger portions for the price. Would return!

My second visit in a month and I was slightly nervous returning as my experience of dinner with a friend was underwhelming. However this was a work dinner for 6 guests and I hoped for more - sadlY the evening was a catalogue of disasters which are easiest listed 1. Freezing dining room - none of the heating was on - we had to request it and it took over and hour to start defrosting the room 2. White wine was warm - we had to request additional ice 3. One of the starters had bread which was covered in mould - we flagged it and a replacement was sent with an apology but it was disconcerting 4. The steaks were cold and overcooked- mine was supposed to be sirloin but was a very thin grisly piece of beef- for £33 I expected better quality. One guest sent his steak back and it took over 25 minutes for it to come back 5. The vegetables were cold 6. The peppercorn sauce was hot! But tasted more like gravy and not a trace of peppercorn As this was a corporate booking we had guests staying at the hotel and one of the guests had issues checking in as reception said there was no room booking (lucky he had a copy of the confirmation on his phone). The only positive was the red wine (very good!) and the waitress who I felt sorry for! Fawlty Towers has nothing on Timbrells! We finished the evening watching the rats running around on the patio 🤦‍♀️

Our first visit but already booked to return. A perfect stop over. A warm welcome,perfect service and comfortable room.

Disappointing tonight. Lots of things unavailable on the already limited menu. Not good enough. Hubbie ended up ordering a burger as nothing else he liked available. Was very dry. I ordered the beef dish with red cabbage, sauce was almost non existent and dry. Our friends ordered white wine served up warm. Disappointing evening all round

Fabulous setting and the food was delicious. Shared a few small plated with my vegan daughter and lots of choice. The main reason for writing the review though is the waitress was one of the best I've ever come across and her jolliness, speed, accuracy and manner made the whole experience a very pleasant one.

AMAZING Sunday dinner! We visited Timbrells Yard for Sunday dinner and were very impressed. The service was fast, efficient and friendly and the food was simply outstanding! Beautiful location too. Will definitely be returning again!

Wonderful stay while attending a wedding near by, staff couldn’t do enough to welcome us, spent 2 night with amazing views of the river. Doggy friendly and wonderful breakfast, thank you so much 🤗

Family birthday celebration with 8 of us. The second time as a group for a birthday celebration, as it was so good the first time. Such a lovely relaxed venue, with great service, and a lovely menu, with all of us enjoying the experience. Many thanks

Stayed here for 3 nights in September, during which we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Our room 106 was a large double room, with a stand alone bath and separate bathroom with a shower. 3 windows, 2 of which had views of the river. Very well appointed with lovely toiletries, ample tea and coffee facilities. The room is on the top floor of the hotel and only accessible via stairs. The hotel very kindly arranged for a member of staff to take our suitcases to our room and on check out did the reserve. All the staff here are a credit to the management, special thanks to Steve and David who made our stay a delight. On our anniversary we booked a table in the restaurant, attention throughout was above and beyond and after our meal a celebration desert (see photo) was brought to our table. It was very touching and thoughtful and made our evening. Nothing negative to say about Timbrells Yard, even in the bar, when it did get very busy, with two staff serving there wasn't a long wait, mostly young staff who we found to be very polite and friendly. Would return again

We had a very tasty lunch here overlooking the river on my birthday at the beginning of September. A young enthusiastic chef prepared watercress risotto for me and a Caesar salad for my husband and both dishes were excellent. Fast forward to a couple of days ago when, exhausted from moving house, we called in for dinner and I ordered the same risotto dish and my husband chose the flat iron chicken. An older chef prepared a very soggy, tepid risotto and the chicken was tough and tasteless. Added chips or new potatoes would have been extra so he chose a side salad. We just wanted a good meal in a peaceful environment but even that was lacking as a young unruly child ran around playing with cars next to our table. The meal cost over £47 with no starter or pudding and two non alcoholic drinks.

What a wonderful experience. Just visited again after quite a while. Very very good place. Food, drink and atmosphere excellent and topped by such very good bar staff. It makes such a difference when treated in such a courteous and helpful way. Other pubs should take note! Will make this a regular haunt.

Very nice lunch. Only complaint is,I had the flat iron chicken with sweetcorn verde. Very nice BUT I had to pay extra for fries!!!!!!!!! The chicken was £19! How much would it cost then to stick a few fries on the plate. Very disappointed at this rip off! My friend had burger and hers came with fries. Come on sort yourselves out. Thank you.

Booked a mid week table for a late lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The menu, food and service were all first class despite being very busy. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

We stayed at this lovely hotel for one night. The staff were absolutely lovely and so helpful. Our room was beautiful and looked over the river Avon. It was so comfortable and spacious. Lovely seating area where we could look out at the river. We felt so relaxed. We had dinner and breakfast in the morning. Both were first class. Our waiter was so knowledgeable and made us feel relaxed and welcome. We thoroughly recommend this hotel and would go back in a heart beat. All the staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble.

Staff went above & beyond to help out. From The moment my partner rang Cara to ask advice for my birthday treat she couldn’t of been more knowledgeable & professional. Parking was limited but for us immediately available outside the hotel. Rooms were well appointed with a lovely view looking out on the river & Saxon Church. Originally booked 2 nights with breakfast but really wanted 3 nights without which was an available offer however the accommodation to do this was not available. However the staff bent over backwards to fulfil our wishes & managed to swing another night within the 3 for 2 deal albeit in a different room.

Really superb central location next to the river. Clean and inviting decor. Nice Smiley staff. Dog friendly. Just drinks but nice experience.

I had the pork belly with herb gnocchi, my partner had the burger. Both were tasty and filling. Pudding was a crumble and a parfait - both very beautifully presented and generous portions.

Completely forgettable. Average food with a big price ticket. 10% service charge automatically added. It’s always telling when staff fail to visit a table to ask how the food is. Almost always, it’s because they are afraid of the answer they might get.

We love this excellent pub with nice rooms in a great location. On this occasion we both enjoyed very good steaks which were cooked perfectly along with a very nice malbec. The service was very friendly and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch, and even thought we called well in advance availability was very limited. This was an indication of the popularity of the restaurant. The restaurant was buzzing when we arrived and we ordered the 3 meat roast each. It was expensive at £19.50, but the food was excellent and in our opinion worth the money.The only downside was that I tried to pay in cash and they still only accept payment by card. Fortunately my partner had a card with her, or else it could have proved embarrassing. I think this should be made clear to customers when booking.

Stayed over three nights. Excellent atmosphere, great food and staff were so helpful. The staff in particular went out of their way to ensure you were welcomed and looked after. The restaurant was spacious and again the waiting staff, especially Olivia, were brilliant and happy. Full marks to this company .The room was very clean and spacious. Very comfortable and a good scenic view of the riverGood Management especially Amy.

Relaxing Sunday lunch. Friendly, efficient young staff, set in a laid back atmosphere. Food excellent. We would not hesitate to recommend Timbrells Yard.

We had heard of Timbrells Yard from family who had stayed here . We were staying near by and after visiting Timbrells Yard we knew we had made a mistake by not staying here. Staff all excellent, I feel our hotel's staff , down the road could benefit from their positive training! Didn't eat here as we had eaten in Bath but enjoyed a couple of drinks in the lovely surroundings I had asked one of the staff who owned the hotel and looked them up and see they owned several boutique pubs and hotels. They look very professional and enterprising and I wish them success for the future!

We booked this hotel as a final stopover on our way back from a week away as we wanted a base from which to explore Bradford Upon Avon. We also booked a table for dinner.The hotel is located close to the centre of the town by the river. There is limited parking at the hotel itself but if this is full the hotel can issue a permit for overnight parking in the station carpark which is just a few minutes walk away (although if travelling with a lot of luggage I would advise dropping this first and then parking. There are circular walks down the river straight from the hotel with the Avoncliff canal aqueduct just 1.5 miles awayWe had arrived early so enjoyed a drink in the bar which had a nice buzz. There were a small selection of local ales available.We were checked into room 105 which was up several flights of stairs and which enjoyed a lovely view across the river to the church and upper town. We found the room to be fully stocked with tea, coffee etc although no milk but fresh milk was provided on request. The room was modern clean and comfortable with lovely waterfall shower and a selection of locally produced toiletries. A nice touch was the small bottle of fresh milk left outside the room in the morning.The dining room was spacious with open kitchen. We each had three courses and were very impressed with the quality and flavours of the food much of which is locally sourced. My crispy pig cheek Scrumpet was delicious and the rump steak was one off the best i have ever had, cooked to perfection. Breakfast was cooked to order and also of excellent quality and beautifully presented. During our stay the young staff were all friendly and attentive and we very much look forward to returning next year with a view to further exploring the surrounding areaThanks to all staff

Disappointing. Stayed here on a Sunday evening. Given room 101 which was tiny. At check, in we were told there are no staff staying overnight and if there are any problems there is a phone to dial emergency services! We asked if there would be an opportunity for dinner as it is a pub and restaurant too. We were told there was only a 10 minute window to decide….(this was at 1900). When we checked the room, there were no towels or toilet rolls, the blind didn’t shut, The curtains were ragged and didn’t even meet. The radiators had all been switched off so on an autumnal night the room was cold. There were blood stains in the mattress protecter below the sheets that showed through the sheets. The food was bland and very overpriced. I would pay money to stay here again.

Post Covid, going out on a Saturday evening was exciting and the expectations of a great experience were high. We couldn’t have been more delighted! Exquisite food, great service and fabulous location all made for a perfect evening. Thank you!

We booked a table for 7.15pm on a Sunday evening. Initially we faced with a sign in the porch saying wait here until a staff member comes. Nobody came, so after a few minutes of feeling rather silly standing there, we went on in. The man behind the bar made eye contact but chose not to engage with us. Still we wait… then a waitress directs us to a table, we then wait 20 minutes until drink order was taken.Finally we get our first drink 30 minutes after arriving. We then ask to go through to the restaurant for dinner. The table we are shown to is wobbly and so yet again we have to wait till we get the attention of a waitress ask to move to a stable table, which she does.She takes our order for a roast dinner and then yet again the waiting continues. Another 35 minutes until we receive our dinner. The food was lovely and of good quality. However, as the waitress literally drops our food in front of us and races to leave, we manage to ask for horse radish before she disappears. She does get the sauce but we can’t help but feel like we are an inconvenience. When we ask for the bill (as we really don’t want to wait any longer by asking for dessert menu and then the actual dessert ) we then… surprise surprise wait for another 15 minutes for it to arrive and then another 15 minutes go past and no one comes to take it. So we have to go in search of the waitresses to pay.Overall, it’s a real shame. Lovely pub and restaurant and the food was really lovely. But the service was dreadful. The staff are lovely individuals but we felt incredibly invisible all night. We felt we were inconveniencing the staff. We felt we had to ask for everything. This place could be so much better by improving customer care. We will not be going back as time is a precious commodity and we like to feel welcome by staff, not an inconvenience.

We were invited by friends who were staying at this hotel and restaurant in the historic town of Bradford-on-Avon. This hotel is tucked away in the town close to the River Avon. We met in the bar and enjoyed real ale and gin and tonics. Our food orders were taken and we moved to the restaurant where we enjoyed delicious food from a very interesting menu starters include spiced chicken terrine and pickled tomato and marinated courgette bruschetta. Main courses of Belly of Gloucester Old spot, pumpkin seed, satay sauce. I have to say I ordered the Chargrilled beef burger, smoked streaky bacon, gherkin, Barber’s cheese, lettuce and chips it was fantastic!

We were desperately looking for a place to have a cup of tea or even a beer after attending a Mormon baptism.We stopped at the town, parked up and this was the first place we found.A great location, first class service and a lovely choice of places to sit to eat or drink.Outside, in the marquee ( with a wood burning stove) or inside,Thank you

Stayed in a mezzanine room for three nights. Comfortable and with a good view of the river.The food was varied but perhaps somewhat over complicated. Good portions but the service of both food and drink was patchy and very slow on one night.We had one complaint about one dish which was reasonably dealt with and a reduction made in our bill - unexpected but welcome.Hotel well situated for the town and bus and rail stations.

We visited Timbrell’s Yard to celebrate a 90th birthday. Excellent food and atmosphere. Staff were friendly and professional and dealt easily with a large group. Nothing was too much trouble and they made the whole experience very special! Would highly recommend

Wow! This place was a gem to find. We visited last week and we were so impressed. The menu is adventurous and the dishes were full of flavour. The staff are absolutely outstanding, a credit to Timbrells Yard. Everyone we spoke to were very polite and full of energy. Nothing at all was too much to ask. We will definitely be returning. You have put Bradford On Avon on the map for my whole family. Thank you.

Anticipated a lovely lunch,however, sticky table, missing condiments, service slow to glacial, food overpriced. Never serve a cold salsa on a hot dish especially fish. Appears to be inspired by Masterchef!Service was so slow it meant we did not have time for pudding or coffee, even though we had been there for over an hour consequently we are unlikely to recommend or return.

We are local and have been visiting Timbrell’s frequently since start-up. Often 2-3 times a week for coffees, drinks and meals. I’m sorry to say this place is going steadily down hill with poor service, lack of ambiance and low value for money. An evening meal takes a min of 2 hours to be served and you have to constantly chase the staff to take or bring your order. Then there’s the new 10% service charge..It’s impossible to show up anymore for a spontaneous drink or coffee as restaurant is always understaffed so staff do their best to turn clients without bookings away. This used to be a thriving spot at the heart of the town, sad to see it’s been reduced to a place most locals would avoid.

I cannot begin to explain how shocked we were, yet again, to be told there that they only had 1 table available for my wife and I when clearly the rest of the pub was as good as empty , we really didn’t want to sit outside at 7pm at this time of year. Covered area outside was empty but we were dumped in the area as you arrive. We decided to leave and, as locals, we have now visited this place for the last time as we are often made to feel not welcome.

We visited here with another couple at about 5om on Saturday 11th to have a drink on my birthday. There was nobody at all inside the pub and only about 2 small tables taken outside. There were 2 girls behind the bar who didn't appear to be doing much and as we walked in we were told that they couldn't serve anyone because they were busy setting up tables for dinner. None of us could believe what we were hearing. We only wanted one drink to have in the outside area. What sort of pub opens it's doors and then refuses to serve any drinks even when they are almost completely empty? If they are that short staffed they should stay closed. I have to say it's not the first time we've visited Timbrells Yard and had poor service. My daughter waited over an hour once for a sandwich to arrive, despite reminding them a couple of times. Poorly managed. Despite living in the town we won't be bothering again.

Thought we would give TY another try and celebrate our wedding anniversary there. Very disappointing my husbands veg was cold so sent it back, mine was not much warmer both were served on cold plates and in the semi alfresco area we were soon feeling chilly. My husbands meal was returned (minus one potato that he had not eaten) when I had nearly finished my hake. Hardly the enjoyable meal “together” we were looking forward to. The meal was over priced for the portion size and nothing was taken off the bill for our disappointment (not even the service charge). Will not be going back!

We have been regulars at this restaurant since moving to Bradford on Avon three months ago but have recently experienced the service to be going downhill. The food is mediocre and overpriced and the service is below par. You seem to be ignored totally once you have finished your main course and have to ask to see the dessert menu which is again left with you for so long that you have gone off wanting to order by the time the waitress reappears. It really needs to up its game as there are many more places to frequent in the town where our custom is valued. Unfortunately we will not be returning anytime soon!

Don't waste your time and money .We really had bad experience.our waitress frgot to put our drinks on the system she realised it after I went to her and asked her about it. And she replied apperently it didn't go e through. WOW GOOD Excuse!!The. Food again took ages to came my husband orederd stake again he had to wait till someone appears and he can actually asks for stake knife whatever garnish comes with it like fried onions something was stale.We asked for bill they took off out drinks.Anyways I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO EAT . NOT GOOD QUALITY FOOD OR DRINKS.

Had Sunday dinner here with the family. Lovely setting and good atmosphere. Very nice roast dinner with an excellent dessert

I remember my friend Kelly told her work and did booked a table for my mum's birthday dinner because she want going out outside of Bath, less stairs with near car park it's very helpful and lovely place. I know Friday is very busy but it's wonderful and not many crowds. We have starter and main - they are excellent foods same as we chose red wine. We want chose desserts but we are full. Thank you Kelly for telling me your work :) Definitely come back again we will have main and dessert yummy!

10/10 for everything, super friendly and helpful staff and beautiful outdoor views for eating. Drinks and food were spectacular the best meal out I've had in a long time. The presentation of the food and drink were also gorgeous as well as delicious. Slightly on the pricier side but for good reason, perfect for a family meal or treat. Would definitely come again thank you!

I’ve been visiting for drinks and dinner as a local since first opening. It was great at the start! I have since seen a steady decline in service and quality and more recently a very steep rise in prices (and diminishing portions sizes) and I don’t have a large appetite! I don’t like the new semi plastic alfresco area either! Time to try somewhere new!

Limited overpriced menu. We were recommended this restaurant but sadly didn’t enjoy it. We had booked a table and there was no table set up for us on arrival. It’s a strange set up on arrival if you have never been before. You open to door and the reception area is actually through the back but you are unsure if that’s for the hotel area or for the restaurant and you are left standing at the restaurant entrance and no one greets you to take you to your table. Ordered cod and chips and the cod was cold and very tasteless.Was not in the mind set for any deserts after that.

Have known for some time that TY food is overpriced. £14 for a burger is silly, especially when the burger comes overcooked and dry. My friend had the panna cotta for dessert which she had to send back. She described it to me as a 'gelatinous and tasteless blob'. I could see that it was grey and rubbery. I give the staff a star to themselves as I could see that they are trying to improve service. However, our waitress forgot to put my drink order in, so I sat waiting for something that was never going to come. Cancelled it in the end when my friend sent back her dessert. Too often when I've gone for a meal here, I'm hopeful that I'll have a nice time and feel I've gotten my money's worth. Some of the meals I've had are good, but all seems overpriced. We were told upon arriving that we had only half an hour at the table, so we moved outside to not have to rush. Noticed that nobody was ever seated at the original table, or any other tables near by. Great location, but not worth the disappointments.

I ordered the rump steak with peppercorn sauce - very chewy took it home for my dog. It all tasted a bit strange! It was also very expensive £22 for a rump steak and £4 for fries

The only saving grace was the lovely waitress. The food was underwhelming and massively overpriced. £15 for a quinoa salad that probably cost £1.50 to make.

Booked a table for the restaurant, got seated in the bar area, despite the restaurant and outdoor seating being nearly completely empty. When we asked the waitress what the specials were she couldn't pronounce it and gave up half way through explaining. Took an hour from being seated for our starters to arrive, which was shortly followed by our drinks order which was placed at the same time as starters. Starters were decent, mains came out nearly an hour later stone cold which we sent straight back to the kitchen. Desert was on point and prompt as we had complained I feel that we had got preferential treatment. Bar staff seemed like they all wanted to go home/die. Sad because it's normally a decent place to go.

The restaurant was very busy and very noisy indeed such that normal conversation at a small table inside the restaurant was difficult. Perhaps the restaurant should investigate sound absorption schemes for the walls and ceiling? I wonder why they have canned music?Our table on arrival was unstable - we had to ask for one leg to have a wedge inserted.We asked for 500ml of red wine and were brought a 750ml bottle which we rejected. The food was good - excellent lamb. But the cheese board and in particular the biscuits (Dukkah, soft and pliable) disappointing.

Lovely time had with friends and the food was excellent. Youc an take your dog to Timbrells Yard which is great. Nice evening.

Loved our family time at Timbrells. Staff are superb & couldn't do enough to make our stay comfortable. One half of our family has a mezzanine room great if you have little ones, with a magnificent view of the canal. We had a large room on the otherside of the hotel, no view to speak of but the room was perfect & spotlessly clean. Tea/coffee/milk/water & replenished if needed. Had breakfast both mornings which was scrummy. Can do "build your own breakfast" which was very handy as I can be a bit fussy. Had an evening meal both nights too, again, delicious, freshly prepared food couldn't fault it. Easy access into quaint little market town from Timbtells. Hotel was close to the train station very convenient if you wanted to venture further. No noise at all from the station. Very small car park at hotel, 4 spaces I believe, but you can park at the station car park & the hotel gives you a free permit during your stay. Lovely canal which runs past the hotel & is a nice walk. One thing, there is no lift so heavy suitcases mightbe difficult on the stairs. All in all an amazing stay & will return.

Great food and great customer service. I have visited a number of times now and this is consistently my experience.

Not sure where to start! Waited half an hour for drinks order then 4 waitresses then asked within 5 mins then a beer arrived and our bottle of wine did not. After 15 minutes told was “run out” ordered another and that was also not also not available eventually choosing the most expensive Rose that arrived tepid and Luke warm so I had to then get up and walk around until I did find a waitress and get more ice in the bucket. If got worse as our food order took at least 45 mins to arrive and in fairness it was ok albeit the burger was on the very micro small side! However as soon as the food eventually arrived smokers came out and started smoking on the next table! Worse still one of them was a member of staff. So asked for bill and the waitress was so very sarcastic fed up and very rude especially when I asked if something could be done on the bill as the long wait, terrible service, warm rose wine and smokers eventually ruining our meal. I would seriously avoid this place. Which is a shame as it could be good.

I stopped here for dinner on Tuesday 25 May and enjoyed excellent food in sensible portions, a lovely atmosphere and very attentive staff. A memorable evening at Timbrells Yard. I will go back one day…

Lovely place nestled away in Bradford on Avon. Some of the friendliest, best service in the area! Fun food, a very creative menu and lovely ambience in the restaurant. Perfect location for gorgeous walks and exploring Somerset. Very minor downside is the rooms in the old part of the hotel aren’t too quiet at night (didn’t bother us but if you like an early night bear it in mind and ask for a room in the newer part of the hotel further away from the restaurant).Overall would definitely recommend! A very romantic stay, we will be back.

atmosphere was super cool but what makes this place stand out apart from the picture book location is the staff i could not fault the check in and all the waitresses that served us nothing was to much trouble everything was seamless from bar and kitchen to tablethe rooms were were very very comfy and fresh milk delivered to your room was nice touch decor in rooms just right all in all super outstanding we had breakfast lunch and dinner which we normally do not do as we always go out for dinner

The food was excellent and so full of flavour and well cooked. It’s so nice to be out and enjoying good food again. Even the weather didn’t bother us. The marquee was heated with a big fire in its centre and I can only assume that improvements have been made following previous customer comments. Timbrells Yard was busy and there was lovely vibe to it. It was so nice to see people (and their pets) enjoying themselves again.
