comfortable but we didn't feel it was value for money
Pros:

Location was amazing and staff were helpful. The hotel has a nice atmosphere.

Cons:

The room was very dark and had no vanity area with a mirror and a decent light for doing makeup also there was limited comfort supplies, I would have liked a hand/body moisturiser at least.
The breakfast was expensive for what it was, we didn't like using the coffee machine, the staff didn't replenish the breakfast bar very quickly so we had to wait for mugs and plates and there didn't seem to be any bread/toast just pastries

Woukd definitely stay again, but would price it less
Pros:

We had our evening wedding party here at the aqua nine suite for 150 guests, India our coordinator was just fab- as were the other assistants. So friendly.
The bar staff down there were not however.

The front desk staff were lovely,

Decor is amazing.

Rooms were designed beautifully and well equipped and very comfortable. I still feel £240per night is a high priced

Cons:

The lighting in the bedrooms and bathroom are almost impossible to get ready in- I’m glad I didn’t have to do my makeup for the party in there,

Fabulous food!
Pros:

The view of the Clifton Suspension Bridge was spectacular. We booked half board here and enjoyed one of the best evening meals experiences, and a wonderful breakfast. Close proximity to the bridge made this an ideal place to stay.

Cons:

Confusion with parking - on the booking.com details there is apparently no parking here - and yet on arrival we discovered that they do have spaces available in the grounds of the hotel. We'd already parked and paid on a meter by the time we discovered that. Also, we booked a room with a 'landmark view' but dirty windows didn't help!
