Uphill Manor
Quiet Uphill base with an airport shuttle
About this hotel
Uphill Manor sits apart from the seafront cluster, out toward the village of Uphill and its hilltop church, and trades a direct beach walk for free parking, an airport shuttle option, and kitchen facilities in some rooms — useful for a family who wants to prepare a simple meal rather than eat out every night. It earns a notably higher guest rating than most of the town-centre guesthouses, and the airport shuttle in particular suits families flying into Bristol Airport who would rather not arrange a taxi separately. The Grand Pier is a five-minute taxi ride away, quick enough that the quieter setting does not cost much in convenience. A local kitchen and dining spot sits a short taxi ride out for evenings away from the property.

Our take
This suits a family who wants a quieter base with genuine extras — parking, a shuttle, a kitchen — and does not mind a short taxi into the seafront each day rather than a walk. It will not suit anyone who wants to step straight onto Marine Parade from their room. For a higher-rated, more complete stay near Uphill, it is a strong pick.
- ✓Book the airport shuttle in advance if flying into Bristol Airport, rather than arranging a separate taxi.
- ✓Use the kitchen facilities for at least a few meals if your room includes one, saving on eating out every night.
- ✓Budget a five-minute taxi fare into The Grand Pier each day, since it is not within walking distance from Uphill.

Why guests love itWe booked Uphill Manor for the airport shuttle, which saved us arranging a taxi after a late flight into Bristol, and the free parking meant the rest of the stay was easy too. Having a kitchen in our room let us cook a couple of simple dinners rather than eating out every night with two kids in tow. The five-minute taxi into The Grand Pier felt like a small price for how much quieter and more comfortable the stay itself was.
