Vegan Accommodation in Bristol

Located on the edge of Bristol on the same side as Bath, we offer a detached and well appointed garden chalet with a view and outdoor hot tub. The Chalet sleeps 5, and we also offer three additional creatively refurbished rooms in the main house (same site) accommodating a further 5 guests. A large outdoor hot tub nestled under the canopy of a mature eucalyptus tree is an optional extra bookable for your exclusive use.

The Base has been created by vegan couple Jacqui & Fiaz who are very experienced hosts and also keep rescued small animals roaming free in the garden during the day. The chalet is at the top of our garden where we live, so we are here if you need us. Naturally, we also welcome guests who are traveling with pets. Cock Road Ridge is on our doorstep and is ideal for taking The Dog out with hills, wooded areas and views. Perfect!
We are plant based accommodation which means everyone is welcome but we don’t allow meat, fish or dairy on the premises.

LOCATION

The chalet’s elevated position and bi-folding doors to the decked terrace offer spacious views of the mature gardens and dramatic sunrises over the rolling Cotswolds beyond. Perfect for summertime but also very cosy in the winter with underfloor heating throughout and a real wood burner.
The Base feels like you’re in the countryside but we are under 5 minutes’ leafy stroll to Aspects Leisure Park with multi-screen cinema, restaurants, pub, 10 pin bowling, gym and swimming pool! Chiquito’s have a great new vegan menu and Frankie & Benny’s have vegan options. A few minute’s further is Gallagher Retail Park with clothes shops, 24 hour supermarket and Cafe Nero.
We are located in Hanham on the east edge of Bristol. Just 20 minutes’ drive to Bristol’s vibrant city centre, and 30 mins to the picturesque and historic city of Bath.

Small Animal Rescue

Although mainly a great inconvenience, it is a pleasure to watch these lucky souls who have landed on their feet and are finally allowed to do the little things that make them who they are. Dirt baths, digging, sunbathing, playing food wars and territorial gangsta tag as well as the surprisingly high level and collaborative behaviour taken up by the rabbits of Perimeter Penetration Testing.
