Recent smart renovation has not detracted from the friendly ambience of this village local and gastropub with four very affordable bedrooms.

Unlikely as it sounds, a 1950s office block in central Bristol is today a cool B&B with neat bedrooms, shiny rooftop caravans, a relaxed vibe and a courtyard garden.

In a hamlet just 25 minutes from Bath, 'the Carps' is a 'very nice country pub' offering 'very good' food, and oodles of atmosphere in the stone-walled, beamed bar, with fire and log-burner.

Across from the Guildhall, this former sports bar, now a gastropub with rooms, has been given an extensive makeover in Art Deco style, inspired by its glamorous 1920s incarnation as a cocktail bar.

Enjoying an ideal location opposite Clifton Down, this twin-bayed Georgian merchant's house B&B sits atop one of Bristol's highest hills, with panoramic views.

Once a boot factory, this fifth venture for Justin and Charlotte Salisbury on the corner of a Georgian garden square is promoted to the main Guide now it's found its feet.

The setting is pure hog heaven at Robin Hutson's third Pig hotel, surrounded by a deer park in a fold in the Mendips. The part-Georgian building comes in the group's signature shabby-chic style.
