Lido Townhouse

You get robes and slippers so it will be easy to just hop over the road for a swim, steam, breakfast, lunch and supper. There’s no sitting room in the townhouse but you’re welcome to use the downstairs area at the Lido for a read, to work, or just to gaze at the swimmers. Food is Mediterranean-inspired using fresh local produce, tapas is popular and the smarter upstairs restaurant needs to be booked.

Back at your base, bedrooms are a good size and all have a peaceful feel with muted tones, artwork by local artists or members, very comfortable handmade beds and fine linens; shower rooms have Lido shampoo and lotions. It’s a 15-minute walk to Clifton Village for shops, cafés and the iconic bridge.

Breakfast (not included) on homemade granola, yogurt, hot options like hake, shakshuka and French toast and their own blend of coffee. It’s a lively, buzzing space to eat and the house is a super place to spend a few days while exploring the local area.
