Facilities & Amenities

Pros:

• "Very cute pub. Quite old and got a wonderfully big garden, even has a play den in the centre of the garden for children so they won't easily be bored while the adults have a well deserved pint (or two)."
• "The Camping and Caravaning Club site is just a short walk from the Three Magpies."
• "The campsite behind the pub is very nice, level grass with some hard standing, the facilities are simple, clean and adequate."
• "Rally field toilet and showers spotlessly clean and they have a separate facility for the disabled."
• "The pub actually has its own caravan pitches to the rear which we will try next time we come back."
• "HUGELY practical, beautiful grounds directly behind the pub, and good meals if you don't want to do cookout whilst you camp out."
• "Lovely pub, ideally located for a pint or 2 after barging your way up the Avon & Somerset canal."

Cons:

• "Pity that food is only served at certain times - and not during the afternoon."
• "Amenities are basic though, 1 toilet/shower for men, women, disabled, no pay meter that I could see and a seating/drying area."
• "Portacabin toilets are now very worn out and mildew all over."
• "I needed a shower so headed off to a very grotty toilet block and tried to shower to find no water."
• "Sign says 'Open all day' and 'summer menu' but kitchen was closed when we visited yesterday at 2.30, not even bar snacks or sandwiches available."
• "We booked into the three magpies caravan site for 4dys... then they had the cheek to charge a pound per shower on top of the 15 pound pn."
