We're arriving at Bristol airport on Mon July 14th at 5.35am. We can't check in to our apt. until 2 or 3pm. My problem is carrying the baggage all morning! I've emailed the tourist office, the apt. and tried the train station but all replies are negative, I can't find a place to leave our baggage between say 8am and 2pm. It really is a bother if we have to lug it around with us, we are one adult and four children. Surely there's a left luggage facility someplace, or is there a hotel who minds your luggage even if you're not staying with them? The apt. people said we could rent the apt. for the Sun night to access it early Mon to leave the luggage, but at nearly GBP100 I can't afford that. Sue

I'm pretty sure Temple Meads station has a locker or luggage storing facility - though I have never had cause to use it. Ring or email them & see what they say.

Oh sorry, I see you already did. Is there no haggling to be done with your hotel/apartment? After all, it is no different from checking out at 11am when they will always hold your luggage in reception, is it? Where are you staying?

I'll email again, you're right, can't see why it can't be minded in some office/admin area for a few hours. My daughter has suggested hiring a car just to mind the bags, its not a bad idea, I'll look into that too. Staying in Merchant's Rest.
