“This family-run boutique hotel, near the Clifton Suspension Bridge, emphasizes personalized service, including complimentary in-room fruit. I especially appreciate the two AA Rosette-awarded restaurants and the walled garden, rare amenities for a Bristol property. Though some rooms are compact, the helpful staff and historical setting create a distinctly welcoming atmosphere.”
