The hotel was originally a private home, complete with its own chapel, which was run by nuns from a local school.

The story tells how one of the nuns fell pregnant and took her own life and the other nuns bricked her up in a wall to try to keep the scandal under wraps.

During the Second World Wat the hotel was damaged by a bomb, when workmen started repairs they came across the nun’s skeleton and apparently hid the bones elsewhere.

Since then, a figure in brown has periodically been reported, and some people have heard a soft female voice calling them by name. Most of the activity has been reported in room 160.

Mark from Bristol Society for Paranormal Research and Investigation says "we have researched this location a couple of times and it is the subject of a book by Ken Taylor, our Patron. An interesting location but they charge quite a lot to investigate since the initial interest."
