Luggage storage in Bristol

Posted by Richard from Bethesda (Bethesda, MD, USA) on 09/02/26 06:16 PM

My wife and I are traveling to Bristol in 2 weeks as the start of a 2+ week trip to the UK. We have an overnight flight into Heathrow and are planning on taking the FlixBus to Bristol Central Bus Terminal. We are scheduled to arrive at Noon local time and cannot check-in to our vacation rental until 3 pm (15:00). Looking for a convenient place to store bags for a few hours and have come across the following company (Bounce) on the Bristol tourism website. https://bounce.com/luggage-storage/bristol. Doe anyone in the community have experience (good or bad) with Bounce? Regardless, I'd appreciate any suggestions on short-term luggage storage options in Bristol? Our vacation rental is in the Central City a few blocks West of the Cathedral.

Many thanks.

Bounce is just a website that shows local businesses that will store bags for a fee. You can also try https://www.nannybag.com/en or https://stasher.com/

I’d just choose a storage location that is convenient for you.

Thanks. I figured this was the case, and it looks like both Bounce and Nannybags take you to the same location, less than a 10 minute walk from the coach station.

Bristol is my nearest city. I know it well.

I'm struggling to picture where you are staying, UK cities don't really do "blocks", and immediately west of the Cathedral is mostly public amenities including two schools, a college and a library.

It's at least a twenty minute walk along fairly busy roads - it's not unpleasant per se and there are pavements/sidewalks, but if it is chucking it down with rain it will not be fun.

Also, when I looked on bounce there is nothing particularly near either the Cathedral or the Coach station - the nearest ones were on the Clifton triangle (up a massive hill), or in Cabot Circus shopping centre, a half a mile the wrong way.

In your shoes I would contact the rental property and see if you can just leave your luggage without checking on, and take an uber to get there.
