From Brunel to Banksy!
Britain’s 4th most popular visitor destination, Bristol boasts Brunel’s magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge spanning the River Avon. More Brunel handiwork is in the harbour where his SS Great Britain steamship is moored. Pirate walks here detail the city’s underground naval history.
Further north in Clifton is the world’s oldest zoo outside a capital city. Other Bristol attractions include At-Bristol Museum and the Grade I-listed Corn Exchange with its 4 "nails" outside where money changed hands. Also worth a visit is St Nicholas Market, in a Georgian square home to several bars and a Slow Food Market on the 1st Sunday of every month. Other Bristol shopping options include shopping centres at Cabot Circus, and Cribbs Causeway on the outskirts.
As a student city, Bristol really comes to life after dark. The live music scene here is fantastic and has given way to several internationally known bands, but for something more alternative head to Eastside.
Another option for alternative-seekers is the work of hometown street artists Banksy. Just like Booking.com’s Bristol accommodation, his work is spread throughout this fabulous city.
This Gateway to the West Country is served by Bristol Airport and Temple Meads train station. The old Bristol to Bath railway line is now a cycle route and makes a great day trip.

For anyone who likes to walk, Bristol is one incredible city to discover: from up in Clifton to down at the harbour. Lovers of Banksy: eat your heart out! And on the subject of food, there's something to suit everyone's palate. Bristol has always had an edge to it, but it's now more dynamic than ever.

I know Bristol very well, and always love visiting as it is such a vibrant city. This trip was a Christmas present for my husband, to see Bill Bailey at the hippodrome, and to spend the night after a nice meal and a glass of wine or two-perfect!

Wow, what a great place for a short break.
Wow, what a great place for a short break. We spent the weekend here, celebrating our anniversary. The weather was perfect, which obviously helps when exploring a new city. There is lots to see and do for all ages. We will definitely be back again soon.

There is so much to see and do in Bristol and most places...
There is so much to see and do in Bristol and most places can be reached easily on foot from the centre.
The only downside was the number of people sleeping rough all over the city during the day.
I saw several groups drinking,shouting and swearing which was a little off putting .

An interesting city, we found plenty to do.
An interesting city, we found plenty to do. Public transport makes it easy to travel around and visit Bath and Wells nearby.
The shopping centres in Bristol and Cribbs causeway provide shops that cater for everyone's taste.
“Absolutely beautiful house, gorgeous room, immaculate, very indulgent for a luxury end to our holiday. The bed was probably the biggest and most comfortable bed I have ever stayed in! Nice and close to both Clifton and Bristol city centre. 30 minute walk either way. ”
“Hotel is friendly and with good parking for the city centre situated under the hotel itself. Well located near to bars and restaurants ... enjoyed my stay there. ”
“This was our second stay at a Future Inn (previously in Plymouth) and were again impressed by the overall standard, comfort and friendliness of the staff. Unparalleled location for Bristol's city centre shopping with free parking a welcome bonus. Superior room was spacious, well furnished and surprisingly devoid of any external noise whatsoever for such a busy city centre location. Very good breakfast (apart from the poor orange juice disappointingly so common in hotels).”
“The pool and spa facilities, the water with lemon and orange pieces by the steam room.
The welome goodies in the fridge.
It was so easy to get to the pool and breakfast room from our room 222 - very family friendly”
“The staff were very friendly and accomodting. A really nice hotel in a great spot. When the weather is good there is no better place than Clifton village and the Downs .”
“A very nice stay and very friendly and helpful staff. Their breakfast is a cherry on the cake - amazing selection freshly made in an open kitchen. Will definitely come back”
“Bed was so comfy. Really convenient location between Bristol and the airport. Lovely staff who met all of our needs. Reasonable price for shuttle to airport. Breakfast was lovely and everyone very friendly. Thankyou!”
“Backwell House is a hidden treasure! Guy and the staff are amazing. I felt at home the minute I walked in the door. The bedrooms are fabulous. The breakfast was the best I have had! The grounds are lovely and peaceful.”
“The architecture of the building is fabulous, and the rooms and public areas are decorated very tastefully and in keeping with the history. The staff are great, and the overall experience was really good.”
