I chose The Cottage as I had an early morning flight from Bristol airport. The airport terminal is a 15 minute walk away although you can book a lift if required for a small fee. Another advantage was the lower parking cost with Karen & Russell for my stay. Again, your car can be delivered you if required....I chose to collect it from The Cottage. The room I had was comfortable & clean. A kette together with tea, coffee & biscuits were supplied as was a tv. I would use The Cottage again if I had a flight from Bristol airport.

Lovely and clean rooms, close to Bristol airport… the only reason I haven’t given it 5 stars is because the walls were paper thin, I could hear everything from the room next door so didn’t get to sleep until the early hours.
