The best restaurants with rooms in Bristol

The Artist Residence is a boutique hotel in Bristol that impresses with its artsy and cosy décor. All bedrooms range in size but have an Instagram-worthy interior with vintage furniture and cool art on the wall. For example, the Broom Cupboard is small but comes with a comfy king bed and arched window. If you’re staying with a partner, it’s best to go for the Artist Suite with a retro bathtub and big windows. Another reason the venue is worth staying in is the downstairs restaurant with its casual menu consisting of seasonal dishes. You can sample delights such as trofie pasta, winter greens, fried potatoes, sundried tomato and pesto. There are also plenty of desserts to choose from: tiramisu, apple and blackberry crumble, dark chocolate pot with tahini caramel, ice cream and cake of the day. Enjoy a comfort meal, wash it down with some cocktails, then have an early night and wake up to witness the beautiful sunrise.

Looking for the perfect weekend break spot? Look no further. Lido is a restaurant with a twist since it boasts a pool; staying here will make you feel like you’re away on a holiday. Previously Clifton Baths, the venue was transformed and reopened in 2008. Due to its unique concept, it now attracts locals and visitors from all over the country seeking a weekend gateway. What adds to the holiday atmosphere is the menu made of Mediterranean dishes served in a restaurant overlooking the pool (try the salad of Crassane pear, Italian winter chicories, ancient grains, soft herbs, goats’ curd & hazelnuts). Additionally, there’s a poolside bar where you can enjoy a quick snack and a drink. Relax by going for a swim or people watching in the pool – either way, it’s a guarantee that you’ll feel a sense of peace. The venue offers you to stay in a five-bedroom Georgian townhouse so it’s an ideal destination if you want to celebrate something with friends.

Berwick Lodge is a luxury hotel that’s ideal for a weekend break with your partner or a solo adventure. The location ensures a tranquil setting, which makes it a popular destination for newlywed couples. Inside the venue there’s a fine dining restaurant where you can enjoy the best of British cuisine (for example, our favourite Pork Cheek and Shoulder with Fondant Potato, Red Cabbage and Carrot as the main dish). Both the quality of the food and the service are exceptional – we promise you that you’ll leave refreshed and ready to go back to your daily life. For those who are staying the night, the rooms are luxurious and come with a smart television and access to board games, so you won’t feel bored. Although if the weather is nice, you’ll probably want to make the best out of it and explore the green area. And if you’re under a lot of stress, there’s also an option to book a relaxing in-room massage that will make you feel rejuvenated. We can’t think of a better staycation spot, can you?

Fancy a romantic weekend with your partner? You simply can’t miss visiting the Hotel du Vin if you live in Bristol. Located in Clifton Village, it’s a one-of-a-kind place with luxury hotel rooms, modern bistro dining, extensive wine list and the proximity to the beautiful Clifton Suspension Bridge. In fact, this beautiful landmark can be seen from the hotel’s terrace so just imagine how stunning the sunset would be. It’s basically all you need for a romantic and relaxing atmosphere. You can also take a walk outside and explore the surrounding green areas (Clifton Down or Leigh Woods). The venue features an open kitchen with coal fired grills and bespoke clay ovens, known for mouthwatering steaks and French classic dishes, so you’ll be spoilt for choice. Hotel du Vin is the perfect destination if you want to pamper yourself and spend some quality time in nature.

The Swan Inn is a great option for those looking for an authentic British pub experience. Located just seven miles from Bristol airport, it has all you need for you to have fun: the stunning location with a countryside vibe, a large beer garden with a vibrant atmosphere, cosy rooms and delicious seasonal food. One of the best things about it is that your dog is welcome to stay with you, which makes it the perfect family destination. During the day, you can take a walk to the local nature reserve and hopefully catch some sun, then head back to enjoy the delicious menu. For example, one of the signature dishes is the beef burger with maple and bacon relish, smoked cheddar, mustard aioli, crispy onions and skin-on-fries – pure heaven if you love comfort food. Explore the rural area, breathe in the fresh air, then treat yourself to a pint. The Swan Inn is an exceptional staycation spot.
