The Wellington lies at the top of Bristol’s iconic Gloucester Road, a stretch that has long been seen as the epitome of the city’s independent spirit. We’re popular with locals and visitors alike throughout the year, thanks to a quality food offering, warm welcome, and comfy hotel-style accommodation.
