Lido

Went with my husband for a 2 hour swim and dine after experience. Absolutely stunning! Be prepared for the outdoor pool as it is definitely kept at a chillier temperature than I anticipated (I felt fine but my husband couldn’t handle it even for one lap) so we alternated the steam room, sauna, and hot tub for the duration which is utterly delightful! There was also an ice bucket which I found great fun! Then the meal was absolutely delicious! My husband says he felt like a “class traitor” for it 😂 it was just all around a stunning experience and we’ll be coming back (when it’s warm again so husband can try the swim again).

My experience at the Lido Clifton Pool in Bristol left me with a sense of polite disappointment. The staff, I must say, were truly exceptional in their friendliness and assistance. However, it's essential to mention that the overall cost-benefit ratio falls a bit short of expectations. The premises, while charming, lacked a dedicated space for relaxation, leaving guests without anywhere to chill. The main pool's temperature also left something to be desired, leading everyone to crowd into the small hot tub for warmth. On a positive note, the showers were a highlight, offering a refreshing and clean experience. The availability of luxurious robes added a touch of luxury and comfort to the visit. The cleanliness of the facility itself was commendable. The real star of the show was the on-site restaurant, which provided an incredible dining experience, truly setting itself apart. In summary, the Lido Clifton Pool, while not without its limitations, remains a lovely spot for some relaxation, featuring excellent staff, top-notch showers, and a dining experience that is simply unforgettable, even if the overall value for money could be improved.

Very nice evening atmosphere in the restaurant overlooking the pool. For three people the bill was £208.69 (discretionary service 12.5% reckoned in) and this included 1 bottle of Malbec, a rum, 2 starters (scallops) and 3 mains (lamb, crab), dessert and some sides. Food was tasty, but budget for the occasion, and it's a pleasant evening out.
