The 30 Best Pets in Bristol

“New puppy (lab) owner and was advised by the breeder and the neighbours to go here. Really really pleased with the service and the attention they gave to both myself, my partner and puppy. One could say it’s all sell on, but was definitely not the case. Walked out with loads of things and mostly a world of knowledge. Thank you The staff members that helped us from the guy in the floor until the lady on the checkout were super professional.”

“We have been taking Teddy here since he was a puppy. Lovely staff friendly/ professional and they know him so well now . Hes a very nervous dog but they have a special way with him. Would recommend.”

“Lovely hotel and enjoyed our stay. The rooms are lovely, plenty of space. Thought gone into it like plug sockets in important places, bedside and next to vanity mirror. Often overlooked. Good quality toiletries much appreciated. Only comment is that reception staff were cool and not very welcoming although efficient. Would stay again and use novotel again.”

“Really lovely staff. Two guys who were working this morning were kind and helpful. And the guy who worked last night was friendly and helpful too. Good facilities. Great rooms that are rather modern and rustic. Quite loud at times due to night life and having a bar and activity area below. The rooms have good facilities and are very modern, however my room smelt like leather cleaner… wasn’t a huge fan of that but I’m sure others might like it. My toilet was also was slightly dirty when I arrived but I understand you can’t expect them to be spotless everywhere.”

“I stayed here for work recently, two weekends running. It's the ideal spot. Exactly what you need it to be but above everything else, the staff are unbelievably friendly. They couldn't be more helpful actually and on my return the second week, they remembered me. Particular mention goes to Poppy who is just lovely. She is so good at her job and has a lovely, warm nature. Rachael was a diamond. She was so accommodating when our large party arrived for dinner - all absolutely exhausted from a huge work day - we hadn't made a reservation but she made it work and we were all beyond grateful. Finally to Ben, also in the restaurant. He was just lovely and really warm, friendly and patient. 10/10 for customer service. You made a long work spell away from my family that little bit easier. Thank you.”

“Brilliant Service for our two day conference with almost 40 delegates attending from across the country. The Drawing Room was the perfect space for presentations and working groups, with space on one side for a grazing station and tables for a working lunch. The room was set up exactly as requested and lovely and toasty during a cold November. The team were very adaptable to our ever changing plans and it was very easy to arrange meetings in person as well as liaise over email. The accommodation was gorgeous and everyone was very happy with their rooms. We also hosted a private dinner in the Garden Room, which again was set up exactly as requested with space to network. It ran to our timetable taking into account welcome drinks, speeches and a three course meal. Again it was lovely and toasty for a cold and wet November. And lunch in the brassiere on the final day was delicious. Complements to the entire team. Would highly recommend!”

“A great variety of products with very friendly staff. Even stocked a specific product after recommendation.”

“Friendly and helpful staff. Store is always clean. If you can't get what you need they can order it in for you.”

“I have had a couple of good experiences with this vet but the last visit was outstanding. Our dog was attacked by another dog and although his injuries were minimal the staff were really sympathetic and understanding. They were honest with us that he probably didn’t need to see a vet but in a very kind understanding way that didn’t make us feel like we were over reacting. They also gave us some good advise on managing our dogs interactions going forward after the attack”

“I love the sausages there I've tried lots of cheap and expensive different brands but Iceland is the best get their own brand ummm”

“A hotel where you can take your pets! This is a lovely hotel. The rooms are clean, well laid-out and a decent size. Staff are helpful and friendly. Parking at the nearby Millennium Square car park is discounted and the buffet-style breakfast is plentiful and delicious.”

“Great location. Rooms a bit dated but breakfast room and food was great. Staff were very friendly and it was a good stay.”

“Amazing setting, great hotel. The staff were warm and friendly. Lily on reception was welcoming and knowledgeable and made us feel at home. The supervisor Harriet was also great with giving a little bit of local information about Bristol to help our trip be even better. Tilly was also on hand on our last day to help us enjoy our stay! What a team, we will definitely come back and stat here again”

“Booked a last minute stay, upon check in the staff were friendly and helpful, we were informed that we could pay for an evening meal at the hotel, however we opted to walk over the road where there were plenty of options to eat and pick up a few essentials. The room was clean and comfortable, and after a couple days at the seaside the hot shower with decent pressure was a godsend. We had an issue with one of our neighbouring rooms late into the night but when we mentioned this to the Manager, Josh, he couldn't have been more helpful and apologetic to the situation. We honestly can't praise the hotel and staff enough they were so busy and barely stopped. The breakfast was brill and with plenty of options for my picky kids. Overall brilliant stay and will be looking to book with Holiday in again in the future!”

“A decent hotel with a good standard. My room was lovely and clean. Teas and coffees. All pretty standard stuff. The staff were lovely and very helpful as my card key played up on one occasion. Would be happy to stay again Worst I can say is no free parking. Bit it is the city centre I suppose”

“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.”

“Very nice, cheap and friendly hotel. When we got to our room it smelled of cigarettes, but when we said about it they where very quickly to change it to another room, with a better view and with neutral smell. They did confuse our breakfast ( which was included with a room, for one night, for 2, 70£ ) but to fix it they gave us extra food. Was lovely, would definitely recommend it, if You don't want to break Your bank and still have a cosy night.”

“Only lost one star because we unfortunately chose the smallest caravan and although shower great, tinsy sink and tiny space to squeeze past to get to toilet! Otherwise caravan perfect for our needs. Staff nothing too much trouble and guest house itself and food excellent . We'd definitely come to stay again. Perfect position for exploring on foot. Thank you!”

“Stayed for one night and had a nice, spacious room looking out onto the river. I liked the modern ambience of my room, however the bed was a bit too hard for my liking and I could hear a lot of noise coming from the riverside and the corridors, so it didn't seem like it was very well soundproofed. However I still managed to get a good nights sleep, probably more because I'd already had quite a few beers lol, so these issues were just minor. However the best thing about this hotel is the city centre location. Nicely perched on the riverside and just mere seconds to all the nice craft beer pubs on King Street. Will stay again!”

“Always helpful in store just don't rate the unavailability of most things most of the time”

“They have been looking after my dog for many years, she was wagging her tail when she realised where she was.”

“I always receive a great service for my dogs. The staff are welcoming and the practitioners are very knowledgeable and take great care of my dogs during their visits. I am particularly happy about my recent visit which involved an operation as my dog is recovering well and she was handled with such great care and attention after being hit by a car.”

“Really friendly staff always happy to help. It’s actually the first place I try to get a room when I know I’m working close. But to be honest I even traveled an hr from site just to stay at this specific hotel. The gym is clean and has plenty of equipment and I always jump in the sauna after and sometimes to finish off I’d visit the pool. All the facilities are great just like the staff. Oh and my room was always clean and fresh when I arrived back each day. Looking forward to working around that area again”

“We chose this hotel due to it's location near Bristol Temple Meads, it is directly in front of it. It is though a well run hotel, friendly staff and we found the rooms clean, great WiFi and although they are a little old, comfortable and cosy. An easy walk to many attractions you can arrive by train or car and walk to SS Great Britain or St Nicholas Markets or the many restaurants and pubs. A really good breakfast and the bar is quite nice also. A great stay.”

“We had breakfast this morning and I can only praise the staff on reception and in the restaurant. They were so friendly and helpful nothing was too much bother. My husband had a lovely cooked breakfast which he said was one of the best he had! We are all quick to criticise so it’s nice to be able to compliment staff who were so helpful and I told them so.”

“We stayed overnight for the New Years Eve party and have nothing but praise for the whole event. From start to finish everything was well catered for and all the staff lovely, friendly and helpful. We will return. One glitch for me personally was that i like a swim - and children were in the 'lane swim' portion of the pool.”

“The room was appropriately clean and tidy clean sheets and bathroom was good, service from the desk was freindly and prompt even with a trainee. location is very convenient due to the closeness of Temple meads and by extention the airport. Wasnt the most quiet room you could hear when other rooms were moving about particularly showers in the morning but for the price little to fault another successful Ibis stay.”

“We had a wonderful short stay at this Premier Inn. The room was clean and comfortable, and we had an excellent night’s sleep as it was peaceful with no disturbances at all. The food was great, both dinner and breakfast were enjoyable. The staff were fantastic, friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. We would definitely recommend this hotel and will be happy to stay here again when we are in the area.”

“I've stayed at this hostel 4 or 5 times now and have loved every stay. Firstly location wise being so close to the arnolfini and harbour side is excellent, the staff are very friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful. The rooms are always tidy and there is very little noise from inside the hostel. One previous visit also saw a local musician play some acoustic music which was lovely. I'd recommend this place to anyone.”

“We had Sunday lunch here with the family and it was excellent. The food was lovely, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and it’s dog-friendly too — the garden room was perfect for us. Mike was really accommodating and made sure everything went smoothly. Would recommend!”
