A beautiful property next to the river and only about a 1.5km from Bright town centre (you can even…read morewalk along the river into town!) The property has three cottages and we stayed in The Haven, which is located at the back of the property literally a stones throw from the river and walking. The owners were fantastic - friendly, informative and accommodating (we stayed an extra night and they did their best to prevent us from moving into another cottage!) The cottage was spotless and very well decorated. The Haven is the most private of the 3 with a little patio at the back for BBQ'ing when the weather is warmer. There is a large spa bath located in the bedroom - perfect for relaxing and warming up. My wife and I were highly impressed and have no hesitation in revisiting. We were fortunate to take advantage of a spring deal which made it extremely worthwhile!

Permanent…read morecaravan sites, cabins and camping spots are all on offer for guests, accompanied by freshly renovated bathroom blocks and campers kitchens. Whilst the site doesn't have a pool, it does have a beautiful creek running through it that allows you to get away from the token annoying child dropping bombs in the pool. The camp ground is located a quick 5 minute walk into town, has a service station at the entrance and has plenty of entertainment for people of all ages. Make sure you book into this camping ground the next time to roll into this neck of the woods - you won't regret it!

I have stayed at Bright Holiday Park twice during cycling trips. It is a nice place with a creek…read morerunning through the middle of the park, fairly well dispersed amenities, and free wifi pretty much wherever you are. Also, it seems that many of the sites have pretty decent shade. Moreover, check in is organized and efficient with the office providing a map to your site, overview of the rules, and list of passcodes. I would stay there again. It would, however, be nice to have more refrigerator and BBQ areas around the park.

This is going to sound trite but when I say I have delayed this review because I was determined to…read moreget it right, I am telling the truth. I didn't want to slap together a few words of encouragement and leave it at that... I want to convey to you just how wonderful this place is. The first thing that strikes you about the Velo Bright is how much it seems to offer in such a small area. Renovated and expanded this place is warm, stylish and inviting. We were given a code (ala AirBnB style) and this gave us 24 hour access to the building and our room. Nice and easy. Our first room (more on that later) was small but functional, warm and very stylish. But it was the bathroom and shower that blew us away and you will be no different. No picture will do this shower justice and it is very clear that a lot of care and attention has been poured into the design and finish of this boudoir. Flourishes like tiles that extend up the wall and over your head, clearly not necessary, make it obvious that this was designed to be enjoyed and as well as be functional. We made our way to the bar and was struck by how warm and cosy it was what with its use of wood and exposed beams. The beautiful open fire and plush furnishings also helped us enjoy a beer that was, after a long drive, essential. It was then we were approach by the manager who, seemingly for no reason, offered to upgrade our room simply because we were the only guests that night. This second room was much larger with a living area as well as bedroom but an even bigger version of the incredible shower from the previous room. This room went onto enhance an already wonderful experience. Dinner at the restaurant was very since and the staff friendly and accomodating. But it was when we went to leave that the bar manager struck up a conversation that lead him to open the whisky bar - just for us - so we could enjoy a whiskey in private. The staff at the Velo are friendly and make you feel at home and while it could be argued this is what they are supposed to do, it is their flexibility and imagination that make this a very special place. They go outside the square to give you the best possible stay whether that be for one night or ten. I would happily drive to Bright just to stay there again... it really was that special.

Good food and good coffee. What more could you ask for? Friendly staff and a dining room full of…read morecycling memorabilia
