Number 38

Top choice in Bristol


Set on the edge of the Downs, this upmarket B&B is the choice for style-conscious travellers. The rooms are huge and contemporary – sombre greys and smooth blues dictate the palette – luxury is provided by waffle bathrobes and designer bath goodies, and sweeping city views unfold from most bedrooms and the roof terrace. The two suites have gleaming, old-fashioned metal baths.
