A fine house, a little dilapidated in places,with lovely grounds and interesting artefacts inside. If you want a city centre chain hotel this is not the place for you. On the outskirts of the city, on the bus route in a quiet setting. This has more of an air of a country house, with a guests lounge, morning papers and... More

Stayed here for one night. Wonderfully situated on the edge of the downs with great walking access to Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Avon gorge. Very comfortable room, many thoughtful touches, both houses full of character and pieces of art. Breakfast to die for. Sadly woken by a big party coming in at 2.30 am very noisy, took the edge...

I have never stayed at such a nice hotel - the customer service is excellent and I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for somewhere to stay in Bristol to go to Downs Edge. I hope I get a chance to stay again in the future - a rare gem in Bristol.

Have stayed at Downs Edge a couple of times now while visiting friends in Bristol. Breakfast is freshly cooked and the homemade jams are to die for! The beds are comfy and hard to drag yourself out of! The rooms are full of character and clean. The whole house has a wonderfully charming character, while Alistair and Phillipa make you... More

Alistair, Phillipa and Minsrel made our stay so very special. If you like a good breakfast to start the day then sample one of the most enticing menus you will ever encounter. Two nights wasn't nearly enough to sample the wide range of hot breakfasts so we will have to come back. The common areas were an absolute pleasure with... More
