LIST: UK AIRPORTS & AIRPORT HOTELS
These are UK international, regional and city airports with on-site airport hotels. Hotels are likely to describe themselves 'airport hotels' if they are anything up to 10 miles/15 mins away. However I'm only listing hotels sited within or immediately adjacent to the airport boundary.

| Bristol Airport | 0870 12 12 747 | Built away from the motorways, on a hilltop 9 miles outside Bristol, with a less than perfect weather record, Bristol airport would never have been as busy and successful as it is now, were it not for the drive and personality of its former manager, the late Les Wilson, who became something of an aviation industry legend as a result! These days it is a busy holiday airport serving destinations in the Mediterranean, Europe and as far afield as the Caribbean, the USA and Canada.
