Zoo in Bristol

“We had a wonderful morning with Gary, Nicky and the wolves. We went to visit with our children (age 11, 8 and 5 - the kids were so fascinated by the wolves - especially feeding them! Gary has a great way with kids and shared facts and insights into the wolves, their habitat, their history in a way that little ones could understand and appreciate - in particular how he got the wolves howling! The kids loved howling along with the wolves. My husband got to go in with them and was in awe of the size of them, such amazing animals - we feel very privileged to have got to spend so much time with them. Thank you!!!”

“Had an amazing time!! Great location and the apartment was incredibly clean and modern”

“This is a fantastic place to visit it has lots of different options apart from the brilliant Zoo ,including a food outlets and several different play themed activities for children,including soft play,parks,trampolines. The zoo side the animals have some of the best enclosure I have seen in a zoo,with lots of outdoor areas for them to roam they seem very content. It’s also has several places for a quick pit stop to get refreshments also several toilets . The only thing I wasn’t happy about was the soft play structure it looks like a converted barn it’s brilliant inside with well planned and built amenities but my concern is the roof,it’s asbestos corrugated sheeting (I noticed the animals indoor building has corrugated metal sheeting ) I can’t understand why asbestos has been used. Whilst its use can pose a risk if in any way it breaks down,all materials eventually deteriorates,whilst a small risk ,I really can’t understand its use especially in a children’s environment.”

“Lovely place. You'll find in the kitchen everything you need. Bed are super comfy too. Set of towels are provided for each person. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate. Very clean. A bit far from Bristol town centre by walk but if you have a car it is only 15 minutes drive.”

“Had a one night stay at The Elm Guest House and it was such a lovely experience. Coffee and tea available and a lovely comfortable bed. Will certainly come back again. Thank you.”

“Ideal location, walkable to city centre and also to Temple Meads rail station. Comfortable room, friendly and welcoming staff and check out time at 1200. Would recommend and look forward to staying again!”

“Great place, location, breakfast, rooms, beds, good value for money, very happy with the stay, but for the love of God please be consistent on what you are telling HH members on KIPSU, Elena told me she couldnt help when I was having issues with my CC and I had to call Hilton support center (but the whole point of why we introduced KIPSU was NOT to make any calls), but the next day without any issue Peter, bless his heart, told me not to worry about my reservation as it would not be cxl or marked as no-show. Not a complaint, just a very small area for improvement and I would still recommend this hotel. Cheers.”

“The apartment was absolutely perfect. It was roomy, very clean and had everything anyone could need. The bathroom was very nice and warm and the shower powerful. The towels were very fluffy and the shower gel and shampoo smelled divine. The bed and pillows were so comfy too and the TV has a very high quality picture. As for the location it was perfect. In a quiet area just south of the river, not in the Ulez zone but only 6 mn away from the centre on foot so you can safely leave your car at the flat in the private parking bay. All in all we had a fantastic time and we would definitely recommend you stay there.”

“Premier Inn Bristol King Street – Perfect Location and Outstanding Service Stayed at Premier Inn Bristol King Street and couldn’t have asked for more. It’s a great hotel in a fantastic location, ideal for a night out or a stag do, with bars, restaurants, and nightlife all within walking distance. The hotel itself is exactly what you expect from a well-run Premier Inn – clean, comfortable, and reliable, with all the essentials for a stress-free stay. What really stood out was the exceptional service from the staff. A booking error meant a double room had been reserved instead of a twin, but the team went above and beyond to fix it – bending over backwards to sort out a twin room on the spot and save the booking. If you’re planning a night out in Bristol and want good value accommodation with first-class customer service, this is a top choice.”

“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.”

“What an amazing place to go! My daughter who is 10 absolutely loved it! The staff were super friendly, really great at communication and made us feel so welcome. All the animals are kept in lovely clean tanks and well looked after. Even seen some fish I hadn't seen before! The garden bit in between some rooms was amazing, the trees and plants were gorgeous! Really recommend bringing children here as it was a lovely afternoon out!”

“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!”

“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”

“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.”

“My team and I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Filton for business, and the experience was good throughout. The hotel offers adequate facilities, a comfortable environment, and efficient service ideal for corporate travel. A special mention goes to Francesca, whose professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made a significant difference to my stay. Her customer service is truly second to none and reflects great credit on the Holiday Inn team. Highly recommended for business and group stays — we look forward to returning.”

“Really enjoyed our stay - all the staff were so lovely, especially Ella, who was very helpful and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at home. We loved the location, the service, and the food and we will definitely be coming back again!”

“This place is incredible! Absolutely perfect for my little one, there is so much to do and see.”

““Mrs Howell, for Libby... "thank you Erika for ‘sitting’ with Libby and taking her for walks when I am unable to. It’s good to know I can call on you any time (and at short notice) as you’re always flexible and really try to fit Libby in. I can totally rely on you and know Libby is in safe hands (and thanks for helping me do a tidy round too!)".”

“Booked this hotel the night before flying from Bristol airport. Staff were friendly and efficient and check in was quick and easy. The room we had was clean and very comfortable. I also booked car parking for the week with shuttle transfer to the airport, for some reason it wasn't available at 4am the following morning, but without even asking they arranged a complementary taxi to take us, which was unexpected but very much appreciated. pick up from the airport was just as efficient, just a call to the driver and ten minutes later he arrived to take us back to our car. Just couldn't find fault with this hotel or any of there staff.”

“Exceptional value for money and an incredibly warm welcome from Kavin, Albert and the entire team. The rooms were spacious and spotless, the beds very comfortable, and the breakfast absolutely lovely. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone!”
