Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Leanne C3 contributionsHappened on this place after a gig at O2 and was drawn in my live music in the window.
We loved the place, lovely vibe, old and young singing along to live music. Good drinks, mid range price but worth it.Written 16 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But the view from the top is great. Shame some people leave letter and graffiti. It is a bit smelly in the stairway. Maybe a spring clean is in order from a volunteer group. Well worth to hike to get to it.Written 4 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jason522349 contributionsThis is an excellent trip down memory lane and beyond. The museum is packed out from roof to floor full of interesting things to see.
I come from a farming background so a lot of the exhibits and old tractors bring back memories of my childhood.
Good clean toilets, good parking on site.
There is a cafe offering great food and drinks at very reasonable prices.Written 19 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Knowledgeable, engaging, witty and keenly observant of all his guests. Although the weather wasn't operating in full cooperation with our plans to view the city of Bristol, it was an excellent tour.Written 27 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- wildricemanWeston super Mare, UK133 contributionsThis is definitely a place to visit and take in the history of Bristol.
The cemetery is a beautiful place for a walk and reflect on those that have passed. The work to restore this important site is to be commended and supported.
The cafe (and toilets) are clean and made a great stop during our visit.

Well worth a visit.Written 5 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Droopydrawrs52Peterborough, UK2,049 contributionsSo glad we came here today
We went to Nevis a few years ago and went to Pinneys Planation
To see his home and read the history is upsetting but essential sadly
The guides are very good

Homes are occupied so just a little look around at the outside.Written 1 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DavidDickensonCardiff, UK560 contributionsHistory in the heart of the city!
Exquisite Tudor wooden panelling and carvings, fireplaces, engravings and interesting furniture.
We visited close to Halloween so some rooms had ‘ghosts’of previous residents bringing the history to life.
Very well done, interesting and great fun😃Written 4 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tink2078Cardiff, UK138 contributionsWe visited and took part in three activities, for my husband's birthday. We did Archery, Clay Pigeon shooting and Axe/Knife throwing.
The site is super well organised and the team are very friendly. Our co-ordinator was called Simon - and he was brilliant. We're quite competitive and he helped us make a challenge out of the games.
Safety is paramount, because lets face it - these are weapons. Its taken seriously as you'd expect.
We spent three hours having THE BEST fun. We would highly recommend Bristol Activity Centre - we're already planning our next visit!Written 17 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Paths lined with majestic trees and an active lake with ducks and swans. A small island in the middle where you can see squirrels, birds and other rodents wondering about. Play area was good for the kids and there was also a skate park and a small basketball court. I haven't visited much in the past but my rediscovery during the recent lockdown walks made me wish I had!!Written 8 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheOExpress🏴🇭🇰Hong Kong, China6,165 contributions…with a large playground area and plenty of animals with which to interact. The shop and cafe are also excellent in terms of quality, if admittedly glacially slow sometimes.Written 20 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
