Bristol is one of England’s leading cities for sustainable travel and plant-based food. The city combines independent restaurants, harbourside attractions, creative neighbourhoods and easy access to the surrounding countryside.
This guide includes a completely vegan retreat as well as two strong vegan-friendly hotels in Bristol. For more detail about the fully vegan option, read our dedicated Base Vegan Retreat guide.
HOTEL 01
The Base Vegan Retreat Animal Sanctuary
Fully vegan cabin and animal sanctuary near Bristol
The Base Vegan Retreat Animal Sanctuary is the clearest choice for travellers seeking a genuinely vegan stay near Bristol. The property operates a strict vegan-house policy: animal-derived food products are not permitted on the premises.
Guests stay in a luxury cabin surrounded by the sanctuary’s rescued animals. Cooked vegan breakfast and afternoon tea can be arranged, and the cabin provides a private, nature-focused experience rather than a conventional hotel atmosphere.
The property is especially suitable for animal advocates and travellers who want their accommodation to reflect vegan values beyond the food.
- 100% vegan: Animal-derived foods are not permitted on the property.
- Food: Cooked vegan breakfast and afternoon tea can be arranged.
- Sanctuary: Rescued animals live on the property.
- Accommodation: Private luxury cabin with garden setting.
- Best for: Vegan couples, animal lovers and quiet retreats.
HOTEL 02
Berwick Lodge
Country-house hotel with vegan breakfast near Bristol
Berwick Lodge is a luxury country-house hotel set in woodland and gardens outside Bristol. It offers a quieter alternative to a city-centre stay while remaining within driving distance of Bristol and Bath.
Vegan breakfast is explicitly listed among the available breakfast formats. The restaurant uses local ingredients and can discuss dietary requests, but strict vegans should confirm the current dinner options before booking.
The hotel is best suited to romantic stays, countryside breaks and travellers arriving by car.
- Breakfast: Vegan breakfast is listed.
- Setting: Woodland and landscaped gardens.
- Dining: Fine-dining restaurant with dietary flexibility.

HOTEL 03
Novotel Bristol Centre
Central city hotel with vegan and dairy-free restaurant options
Novotel Bristol Centre is a practical base near Temple Meads station and the city centre. Its restaurant lists vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free dietary options.
The hotel is useful for rail travellers and short business or leisure stays. Vegan guests should confirm breakfast choices, plant milk and the preparation of sauces, breads and hot dishes.
Although it is not a specialist vegan hotel, its central location and documented dietary support make it one of Bristol’s more dependable mainstream options.
- Dietary support: Vegan and dairy-free options are listed.
- Transport: Close to Bristol Temple Meads.
- Facilities: Restaurant, bar and fitness facilities.
