BLUEWATER - Bristol

Bluewater is set in the sought after village of Saltford, midway between Bath and Bristol, with views that stretch out across the Somerset countryside. This luxury large group holiday house sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms and has room for 4 more guests at no extra charge. There’s a heated pool for year-round use, with a sick and shiny stainless steel slide and a swim-up bar; a hot tub, sauna, steam room, games room/gym, cinema room, outdoor kitchen and play area make this a great place to stay for family holidays and celebrations, for days away with friends, spa breaks and sophisticated hen weekends.

This is a holiday house that will impress you from the minute you arrive; everything has been finished to a very high standard, fixtures and fittings are high quality. In the hallway there’s a bespoke decorative staircase and a waterfall, on the balcony to Bedroom 1 there’s a 24 carat gold leaf hammock bath. Stye and substance come together for holidays you will never forget.

Saltford has all you need within a 5 to10 minute stroll; there are riverside walks along the Avon, activities like kayaking and boat hire, there’s a cycle trail, local shops and good places to eat including Thai and fine dining Bengal restaurants. Amble along the waterside looking out for swans and moorhens scooting about, hire SUPs at Bath Paddleboard Centre, and if it’s an open day, have a look round Saltford Brass Mill. Round off the fun with lunch at The Riverside Inn or The Bird in Hand before wandering back to Bluewater. Get up early for a bike ride along the Bristol to Bath Cycle Path, stopping off for a sausage and bacon roll at Warmley Waiting Room.

Head to Bath for a day spent discovering this beautiful city with its Georgian architecture and award-winning attractions. Take in the splendour of Bath Abbey and The Royal Crescent, see the incredible Roman Baths dating back over 2,000 years, take a sartorial trip to the Fashion Museum and step back to Regency times at the Jane Austen Centre. Stop by for a traditional Bath Bun at Sally Lunn’s Historic Eating House, or have a leisurely lunch at one of the city’s many bars and restaurants.

While away a day in Bristol where you can explore the different shopping areas, including Clifton Village and the Christmas Steps Art Quarter. See the world-famous Clifton Suspension Bridge that spans the Avon Gorge, and the vibrant street art at Gloucester Road and Stokes Croft. Be a part of the upbeat air down at the harbourside where you can climb on board SS Great Britain and get close up to the marine life at Bristol Aquarium.

For days out with the kids you’re spoilt for choice – Avon Valley Adventure & Wildlife Park is just a very short drive away, a little further afield are Noah’s Ark Zoo Far, The Wild Place Project and Longleat Safari & Adventure Park. If you like stately mansions, Tyntesfield and Dyrham Park will appeal, if history is your thing go and see the ancient Standing Stones at Stanton Drew and Avebury, and for something very different, take a wander round the Gothic cemetery at Arnos Vale.

There is heaps to see and do, so Bluewater is a great choice – plus it’s within easy access of major routes (M4 and M5) and can be reached in less than 2 hours from London. Book your stay at this extraordinary holiday house today!
