“This family-run boutique near Clifton Suspension Bridge strikes me as a cozy base for exploring Bristol. I appreciate that it features two award-winning restaurants, plus a private walled garden that's unusual for a city hotel. It would suit tourists exploring the historical sites as well as business travelers needing meeting facilities.”

great locationhelpful staffpeaceful atmospheresteep staircasenoise leveluncomfortable bed

The location had shops and cafes nearby. I was contacted prior to my stay to confirm parking. The room overlooked the rear of the hotel. It was peaceful.

The room was on the top floor. There were multiple staircases. One staircase was really steep. I could hear banging from other guests in the hallway.
