Location & Transport

Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas. CCTV and emergency audio recordings are kept for security. The pub enforces a ban policy for safety. Private event bookings are available for groups.
“In my opinion, The Crafty Cow's proximity to Southmead Hospital makes it a practical choice for some, but be aware that some rooms could use an update. The garden, popular and well-lit, stands out as a definite plus. I think the value aligns best for those prioritizing location over flawlessly maintained interiors.”

I stayed here to be near the local hospital. The staff were SO helpful and friendly . My room was clean. A BIG plus for me! Parking onsite was really handy, especially being so close to everything.
The pub's noise traveled up to my room LATE into the evening.

mixed experience with some disappointments
broken lightcold room
The electric radiator in the room did not work, so it was very cold. i had to wear my coat while working in the room one morning. also, the light next to the bed was broken and seemed unsafe. It kept flickering and was loose. the entrance to the rooms, located behind the bar, led to a run-down area, it felt uninviting.

solid stay near friends
helpful stafflarge beer gardenbroken shower
the staff i met was lovely. graham really helped me find a hairdryer. residents also get 10% off all food and drink purchased there. the beer garden was large and had a great covered area. i liked that residents get discounts on food and drink.
the car park was full and i had to park on the road. the shower head was broken. this meant it could not be affixed up high. it was not convenient at all.

staff was helpful and friendly and went above expectations. i really liked how attentive graham was in finding me a hairdryer when i asked about it and the offer of the discount as a resident was great.
