Bristol is one of the most exciting cities in the UK with so many attractions and iconic landmarks to visit, in conjunction with unrivaled nightlife and unique shopping opportunities.
Getting around
With a compact city centre and attractions within easy walking distance, you and the girls can easily navigate Bristol on foot. For a more fun take on sightseeing you can hire E-scooters, which cost £1 to unlock and then 16p a minute to ride. All you need to do is download the Dott App from your app store.
If you’re arriving by train there are excellent links from all over the country, and two major rail stations Bristol Parkway and Bristol Temple Meads. Both are centrally located with taxi ranks outside. Bristol also has its own airport, which is perfect for far flung group members and is only 17 km away from the centre. If you want to arrive at your accommodation in style (which you can also arrange through us) you can book a transfer and have a suitably sized vehicle collect you and your fellow hens from your chosen destination. This may work out better value than booking separate taxis.
