“The Avon Gorge By Hotel Du Vin certainly makes an impression with its views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, but reports of inconsistent service and significant issues like repeated fire alarms give me pause. I see the potential in its historic architecture and location, but the execution seems to fall short. I'd suggest travellers carefully weigh the reported downsides against the allure of the setting.”
