Bristol Lido - Bristol

Paul B.

Booked an afternoon swim session here and had a fantastic time.
Swimming pool and plenty of room to swim, really nice chilled vibe too. I loved the sauna and steam room followed by the cold water bucket, certainly felt refreshing.
Hot tub was really busy but I managed to squeeze in for five minutes.
Towel hire is worth it for £3 because you can get a fresh towel as many times as you want, very useful.
Shower rooms were clean and had lovely shower gel and shampoo.
Will definitely be back for one of the food and swim packages, especially when the weather gets warmer.

We booked the swim and breakfast package as we were spending a week in Bristol and seemed a nice thing to do . I must say we were blown away by the whole experience more queens club than David Lloyd’s and with bells on . This lido was refurbished and reopened to the public in 2007 . Architecturally beautiful and lovingly restored with incredible attention to detail from the pool side cubicle changing curtains to the tasteful period furniture in the upper floors . The members and staff , friendly and charming shared their special place with us and we very much appreciated . Pool , steam , sauna and jacuzzi left us refreshed and ready for breakfast. Changing rooms and shower areas were super clean and tidy . Then to breakfast well !!! This was another level and unexpected , ibérico chop with Catalan beans duck egg , morcilla and membrillo was a Hispanic combination I would have only expected to find in heaven , congratulations to the genius who pulled that baby to the pass at menu development . As in many cases sadly wonderful food not matched by service , would you like some toast with that or anything else we can get you would have been nice and a simple upsell , regardless come to expect these things and move on albeit annoying. Having said that the food quality setting and environment made for one of the most memorable breakfast. Thank you .

A great light lunch. I was looked after due to my intolerances and was offered items on the menu that worked for me. Had a doughy flatbread (amazing), a Zaalouk (I’m hooked) and lamb skewers with harissa (divine though tiny and expensive ) ! I loved the food. The service was slow and maybe a bit on the blazé side - a bit distant and relatively unfriendly therefore. Would go back though as I have been there many a times and like the pool and the food !

Had a gorgeous meal and swim packages here and the food was delightful. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion. The facilities were clean& well done- not too busy on a weekday evening but has perfect atmosphere! Heather was a great server too!!!

Absolutely incredible, could not recommend it enough! My fiancée and I went for the Swim and Dine for £50 per person package and I'm so glad we did. Had a lovely time in the pool, the sauna, the hot tub and the steam room before having a shower and getting ready for dinner in the boudoir room.
The dinner we had here is a contender for the best meal I've ever had, I can't think of a better overall dining experience I've had. I had the scallops to start, which were absolutely incredible, so full of flavour and cooked perfectly, while my fiancée had the porcini mushrooms, which were also excellent. We both had the Ricotta Malfatti for our main and honestly just order it and thank me later.
The restaurant was lovely and the vibe was immaculate. We will be coming back here for sure.

A truly great experience, rounded off by the staff going above and beyond for us. We rotated between pool and sauna, hot to cold (February evening), before hot tub and a beautiful dinner. We accidentally arrived a week early!.. and the spa was fully booked, but after short discussion we were allowed to bring the booking forward, which was greatly appreciated as we had travelled an hour. Will be visiting again many times over

There aren’t enough superlatives for this place. It’s such a beautiful and serene oasis in the heart of Clifton - a lovely (slightly heated) pool, large sauna, jacuzzi, steam room, showers, cold buckets, all overlooked by a fabulous restaurant where you can feast on delicious brunch or lunch after your swim. £50pp for 2 hours using the facilities, and a 2 course lunch (which by the way is always excellent). Very good value (great cocktails and wine list too). The staff are so friendly and welcoming. I’d move to Bristol just to come here more often.

We love this place, and keep returning (which for us is a BIG deal).

Spa restaurants usually have a bad rep, but this one is the anomaly. It is incredible every single time.

Breakfast is amazing value for money, the portions and flavours are all spot on. Lunch after using the spa is such a special experience, with a beautiful menu to match.
