The Tollgate, Dyrham

Worst experience I have ever had. Wanted coffe told we would have to be quick. Then waited ages to be served. By the most aggressive women. Dirty overcrowded. Won’t be back.

We booked for breakfast and so glad I did as it was very busy and most tables were reserved. We were in the original toll gate section so it was warm and cosy. Lovely breakfast, good choice and will call again.

Lovely breakfast with really good ingredients. The sausages and bacon were of the highest quality. Service was very friendly. My only, tiniest of niggles was that the conservatory was a little ‘fresh’ and needed another heater to feel homely.

This is hands down the best hotel experience I've had in years. Saran, the receptionist, greeted me with a warm smile and promptly answered all of my questions. The room was cozy and had all the amenities I could ask for. I will definitely be staying here again.

We stumbled upon this hidden gem on our way back from a weekend trip to Bath and were pleasantly surprised. The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious, featuring savory beef and horseradish finger sandwiches, fruity scones with jam and clotted cream, and a delightful homemade cake. We left feeling satisfied and prepared for our journey home. The service was wonderful, the food was exquisite, and the view was breathtaking. We highly recommend this place!

Wow what a beautiful place. The bedroom was perfect, warm and cozy, had a fridge and a good selection of tea, coffee and hot chocolate. The bed and pillows where so comfortable I fell fast asleep! The how’re was just right and kept in feel with the old farm house vibe. The staff where so warm and friendly. The boss even getting up early to make me breakfast before I started work. What more can you ask for in customer service. I’d highly recommend. As the whole place has a great vibe to it. If definately stay again x

I have frequented the Tollgate restaurant multiple times and have always had a positive experience. However, today after a visit to Bath hospital, my wife and I decided to treat ourselves at the Tollgate, only to be turned away at the door by a waitress who informed us that they were now closed. This was despite open signs being displayed and the website advertising opening hours until 4pm. In the current climate of businesses recovering, is it acceptable to turn away potential afternoon tea business worth £20 to £30 just 20 minutes before the advertised closing time? Not to mention the lost revenue from us not returning and from us informing family and friends not to visit unless it is at l...

Visited the Tolgate today for breakfast after a few days break away in nearby Bradford in Avon. We’ve driven past the Tolgate many times and always fancied popping in, so today we did. We were sat in the conservatory area which was very nice, just a tad cold but the outside temperature was near 0. Our order was taken almost immediately, two hot drinks, a breakfast and eggs Benedict. A friendly couple then sat on the table next to us and ordered their food around five/ten minutes after we had. Shortly after, the hot drinks came and not long after that the couple on the table next to us had their two breakfasts brought to their table. Some time had past and our breakfast still hadn’t arrived,...

Having planned to spend this mid week morning at the nearby Dyrham Park we had reserved a table here for lunch. We were both hungry after a good 2 hours walk around the Park’s gardens. This small café restaurant is right on the A46 between Bath and the M4 at Junction 18. The views towards East Bristol are expansive, and it was a beautifully clear day. This was our first visit to an eatery in 2022. It was also well overdue for this restaurant; as it is located on the main A46 route to the M4 from both Bath and East Bristol. Both my partner and I have driven past this place hundreds of times, having lived in the area, in my case, for most of the last 40 years. Today our table was reserved for...
