With a location on the outskirts of Bristol, you can have the best of both worlds for your short break - easy access to the city centre and an ideal base for exploring the south Downs and beyond. But then again, you might be so content to soak up the relaxed atmosphere in the hotel that going out exploring will be the last thing on your mind!
