“The Plume Of Feathers strikes me as a genuinely welcoming village pub with comfortable rooms, especially appealing for those needing quick access to Bristol Airport. I'm impressed by the consistently praised food, particularly the breakfasts and pizzas, and the attentive staff who seem to go the extra mile. It's the kind of place where the charm of the setting and the friendliness of the service clearly stand out.”
