Hotels
Below are some hotels we recommend with prices to suit all pockets.
BRISTOL
Thornbury Castle, Thornbury, Bristol
Thornbury Castle still resonates with history and is the only Tudor castle in England to be opened as a hotel. Enjoy a regal night's sleep in the Duke's Bedchamber where King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn slept or favour the Gloucester Bedchamber and wake up to a view of the oldest Tudor gardens in England- the Privy Garden and Goodly Garden. All rooms are luxuriously warm and most have real fires. They're also extremely comfortable with opulent, well-appointed bathrooms, colour TV's and welcoming touches such as a decanter of sherry you'll find on your arrival. Balloon Flights can be arranged from the Castle for hotel guests.
