The floorboards creak with Georgian character, and through the sash windows you'll catch the hum of Bristol just beyond the garden wall.

This is a proper guest house rather than a campsite — though they do have a camping pod tucked into the grounds if you fancy something a bit different from a traditional room. It's one for couples after a city-break base with a bit more soul than a chain hotel, or anyone exploring Bristol's harbourside, street art, and music scene who wants to sleep somewhere with a bit of history. The location puts you within easy reach of Clifton, the Suspension Bridge, and everything the city's known for, but you're coming back to somewhere quieter at the end of the day.

Inside it's guest-house hospitality — rooms vary, the pod offers a quirky alternative, and you'll need to ask ahead about bringing dogs. Campfires aren't a given, so check when you arrive. Open all year, which makes it handy for winter weekends or festival season. It's not a rural escape, but it's a characterful bolt-hole in one of Britain's most interesting cities.

Three Peaks Walk

Covers 27km of challenging, hilly terrain across the Mendip Hills with steep climbs to Masbury Castle, Pen Hill, and Beacon Batch (Somerset's highest point at 325m). Definitely not suitable for buggies or young children – this is a full-day, stamina-testing route for experienced walkers with good fitness levels. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock. Rewards include stunning Somerset panoramas, ancient Iron Age hillforts, and varied landscapes from wooded valleys to exposed ridgelines th

Long Ashton Village Circular Walk

Winds through the historic Somerset village and surrounding countryside with gentle undulations and occasional steeper sections near wooded areas. Mostly suitable for families, though some stretches may be muddy after rain and narrow stiles could challenge buggies—consider a carrier for little ones. Dogs welcome on leads through farmland and near livestock. Worth it for charming stone cottages, glimpses of the Mendip Hills, and peaceful green lanes that feel worlds away from nearby Bristol.
