This is a very basic sleeping facility. Food is available at the hotel and Spa, and at a Cafe just beside the Lodge. Ample packing. Only flip side is the checking in at the hotel and spa, I came in with family in the rain and had to run back by foot to check in. Ambience is very lovely as well.

Great location just off the motorway with the added convenience of EV charging right outside. Dog friendly a bonus and we will definitely stay again.

We have never stayed at the lodge but love to visit the Black Sheep for coffee regularly. Lovely staff, food is always fresh, mostly made by the team in the Aztec Hotel and Spa so good quality. It's generally quiet so a nice place for a catch-up plus it's always clean with a lovely mix of products on sale including local sellers. Go on give it a try

I come in here on regular basis for coffee before I head to work. All the staff are very polite. Vanessa is very welcoming and usually knows my order before I've even made it, very good memory. It's a nice place to relax before starting work.

The room was clean and spacious and had everything I would expect to have. In the evening I dined at the Curious Kitchen. The food was excellent and my server was unbelievably good, attentive but not overly so. Breakfast in the Black Sheep had a nice friendly atmosphere and it was just a nice place to be.

I popped in to get a hot chocolate on my way to work. I was greated by a lady with long dark hair. I think her name was Vanessa. She was very polite and was very fast with my order. The hot chocolate was not to sweet and the cream and marshmallows was a nice touch .

Stayed here several times now for work. Good location just off the motorway. Rooms are basic but fine - clean and a decent shower. Service in the little pub next door is brilliant, really friendly staff and a nice simple breakfast with good coffee!

I had a wonderful stay at The Lodge at Bristol. The rooms are beautiful, stylish, and extremely comfortable, everything you’d want after a long day. The ambiance throughout the property is fantastic, creating a really relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast is served at the absolutely awesome The Black Sheep, which was a real highlight and a great way to start the day. I only stayed for one night on a business trip, but I genuinely wish I could have stayed longer. I would happily return and highly recommend The Lodge at Bristol.
