The Spotlight on The Old Star

Charming and Quiet, Just Outside the City Buzz

The Old Star is a cosy, traditional-style guesthouse tucked away in a peaceful spot in Thornbury, just outside Bristol. With its homely vibe, free private parking, and easy access to the city’s top music venues, it’s a convenient and comfortable base for concert nights.
Guests enjoy free WiFi, a flat-screen TV in each room, and a handy kitchenette with a microwave, toaster, fridge, and dishwasher. It's the kind of place where you can truly unwind before or after a gig.

Why Concert-goers love it

While it’s not in the heart of Bristol, The Old Star is just a short drive or rideshare from major music spots like Cabot Circus and the city centre. The peaceful location means you’ll get a quiet night’s sleep after the show — a big win if you're after a slower post-concert wind-down. With check-in starting at 16:30 and check-out at 11:00, there’s a bit of flexibility that suits late-night returns.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want an affordable and sociable base
  • Solo travelers chasing a must-see artist in Bristol
  • Couples looking for a laid-back weekend escape
  • Fans needing a quieter space to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking to save on city stays

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the in-room kitchenette and access to a dining room make it easy to whip up your own meals. Cooked breakfast options are available for an extra fee — ideal if you’ve had a late night. There are also local pubs and eateries within a short drive.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but it suits those who prefer to head out for the night and return to somewhere quiet. You’ll find pubs and bars in nearby Thornbury or central Bristol for pre- and post-show drinks. It’s a great pick for those who want nightlife on demand, not on their doorstep.

What People Say

Guests love the warm, homely atmosphere and the quiet location. Reviewers mention the cleanliness, friendly hosts, and the convenience of having a kitchenette. The free parking and WiFi are also consistently appreciated. It’s often praised for being great value for money.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that it’s not ideal if you’re relying solely on public transport, so having a car or arranging taxis is helpful. The décor is more traditional than trendy, which might not suit those after a sleek city vibe — but it adds to the homey charm.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a relaxed, budget-friendly place to crash after a Bristol gig, The Old Star delivers quiet comfort just outside the city action.

Comfortable B&B, with a lovely...

Liked: Karen is a fantastic host – friendly, welcoming, and always willing to go the extra mile to make you feel at home. The free parking, reasonably priced EV charger, and plenty of local running routes to unwind after work are all much appreciated. As someone working in the area, it’s ideal to have a comfortable, convenient place to stay nearby – especially one where I can easily charge my car.

The Old Star is tops

Liked: The host was very friendly and ensured that we had everything we needed and more. The accomodation was spotless and the bed was very comfy. She gave us all the info we needed for different excursions. We had "safe parking" right at the door. She is an animal lover and made a fuss of our "furry baby". The breakfast was lovely.
Disliked: A few steps, but it was my own mistake as i did not mention it when booking the accomodation. The host offered a different room without the few steps, but i declined it and i managed the few steps well.

Lovely stay with friendly and...

Liked: Location, owner, EV charger
Disliked: I like the breakfast style - grab and go. But would like some more healthy options. Nuts, seeds and Greek yoghurt to go with the fruit. But I know I’m very fussy with breakfast and you can’t cater for everyone!

Great B&B for anyone needing...

Liked: Just right for a one night stop over while we were nearby for a wedding. Small room but very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The serve yourself breakfast was fine with a wide selection to chose from. The owner was very friendly and helpful.
Disliked: The bed could do with a thinner duvet available for summer use by those of us warm souls. In fairness I didn't ask if one was available.
