The city of Bristol has to be one of Gloucestershire’s top choices when it comes to self-catering city breaks. If you are looking to spend time in a vibrant city with excellent shopping, museums, galleries, theatres, restaurants and family attractions such as Bristol Zoo and Aquarium, then Bristol has plenty to offer.
What Bristol offers for Self-Catering Breaks
Bristol’s maritime heritage also adds to the city’s interest and the Brunel’s SS Great Britain is an award winning attraction which is well worth a visit. Head down to the Harbourside at Bristol for galleries, wine bars, restaurants and the sense of style and to the Old City for shopping, historical buildings and Castle Park where the remains of Bristol Castle lie. Some of Bristol’s top attractions include Clifton Suspension Bridge where you can take a guided tour, the British Empire and Commonwealth Museum where you can learn about Britain’s past, the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery for a variety of different treasures from fossils to wildlife galleries, Wildwalk-At-Bristol where there is an amazing living rainforest with tropical gardens and animals and Bristol Zoo Gardens where there are a variety of different animals, children’s play area and restaurant. With such a vast array of attractions, there should be plenty of choice for both families and couples taking romantic breaks.
There are also lots of fantastic places to discover whilst on a self-catering break in Bristol in the nearby countryside and by the coast. Take a day trip and discover the beauty of the Cotswolds’ countryside and enjoy some excellent country walks. Or take a trip to the seaside and visit the popular seaside resort of Weston super Mare just 23 miles from Bristol. The city of Bristol also benefits from close proximity to the impressive city of Bath with its fine stone buildings and fascinating Roman Baths. Bath is just 13 miles from Bristol and is a place to experience the finer things in life and comes highly recommended for a day out. Taking an open bus tour or a guided walk can be some of the best ways to see the city.
Being a city, most self-catering accommodation in Bristol is in apartments and townhouses. Outside in the nearby countryside, it may be possible to find lodges, rural retreats and farmstays for a more relaxed break away.
