Avon Gorge Hotel By Hotel Du Vin

Come on! This is clearly a 4 star. We’ve stayed in several Hotel Du Vin and I have no idea why this is only rated as 3. Service, food, drinks and decor are superb. The rooms are quiet and a good size with lovely views. We lived it.

Absolutely can not fault this one night stay. I booked a room with a view of Clifton Suspension Bridge, but it was in the distance. Fantastic large room with huge bed and great bathroom. A perfect night's sleep. Panoramic view of the bridge in the hotel restaurant. Much better. An excellent breakfast. All staff in every department were very helpful and the building was very clean and quiet. My only niggle is the parking, but this is only due to the location. There is a small car park which is accessible if you get the first few spaces and have a smaller car. BUT you need to obtain a parking permit from reception. The spaces are dotted around Clifton Village. Also lots of steep hills in the area so you need to be agile.

I stayed for two nights whilst conducting meetings. As a hotel it was great, with well furnished rooms and a lovely view of the bridge. As a meeting space, and this was most due to our specific room, it wasn't great. Located between two kitchens, there was regular noise and variances in temperature, which didn't help with the sensistive meetings we were having.
