Why these three lead the list
We start with the five places within a mile of the terminal and rank them by guest score, weighing scores built on more reviews more heavily. Hampton by Hilton, Foxholes and Newditch Farm come out on top.
Hampton By Hilton Bristol Airport is the only hotel on the airport site and the only branded hotel within a mile. It scores 8.3 (Very good) from 13,966 reviews, by far the largest review count in our Bristol search, and its rate included both breakfast and free cancellation.
Foxholes Accommodation scores 9.5 (Superb) from 590 reviews, 0.3 miles from the terminal, and offered free cancellation. Newditch Farm - BRS Airport in Felton scores 9.4 (Wonderful) from 430 reviews, 0.8 miles away.
The Cottage on Downside Road is closer than both, 0.2 miles away, but its score of 7.5 places it below them. Hathway House on School Lane scores 8.2 and appears in the full list.
Staying beside the airfield
The five places within a mile give the shortest trip to check-in in our Bristol search. One is a 3-star airport hotel, and four are small, independent stays on the roads and lanes around the airport boundary.
Farmland surrounds the airport on most sides. There is no cluster of chain hotels here, so most stays near the runway are run by local owners.
Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport
Hampton By Hilton Bristol Airport stands on North Side Road, 0.1 miles from the terminal. It is a 3-star hotel and the dearest of the five airport stays on our dates, the price of a room that sits a short walk from departures.
The Cottage
The Cottage on Downside Road is 0.2 miles from the terminal. Its rate did not include breakfast or free cancellation, and it scores 7.5 (Good) from 1,333 reviews.
Foxholes Accommodation

Hathway House Accommodation

Newditch Farm

Backwell, Barrow Gurney and Redhill

Matching the stay to your flight
Hampton by Hilton and the four Felton-area stays suit an early flight. Clifton suits a night in Bristol, and the village inns suit drivers who want a quiet night and a short drive in the morning.
First-wave departures
Choose a stay within a mile of the terminal. Hampton by Hilton removes the transfer altogether.
A night in the city
Stay in Clifton and take the Airport Flyer from Bristol city centre the next day.
Drivers from the south and west
Holiday Inn at Wrington, the Congresbury hotels and the Blagdon farm house sit off the routes from Weston-super-Mare and the Mendips.
Reaching the terminal
No railway station serves Bristol Airport. The Airport Flyer A1 runs 24 hours a day from Bristol Temple Meads, up to every 8 minutes, and other Airport Flyer routes link Portishead, Weston-super-Mare and Bath.
A single on the A1 costs £9.50. The A2 serves Portishead, the A3 serves Weston-super-Mare and the A4 serves Bath. From the village stays, a taxi or your own car is the simplest way to the terminal, which lies on the A38.
With time to spare after security, see our Bristol Airport lounges page.
