The loft space is a special space created to enjoy the incredible views of the city. Particularly spectacular Bonfire night, New Years eve and when the Bristol Balloon festival is on in August.

About the Area
A lovely local neighbourhood with an arty vibe in a central but quiet location. Well located to walk around and experience all that Bristol has to offer. Great local pubs, grocers/deli, cafes, restaurants (including the Guardian award-winning Acapella, Eating Room and Banco Lounge), and cinema. Also within walking distance is PaintWorks (otherwise known as the arts quarter and home of Bocabar). You also have access to lots of great parks/greenspaces including Victoria Park, Perrets Park and Arnos Vale Cemetery.
Bristol city centre is a 15/20 minute walk or 10 minute bus journey and includes the Harbourside and charming St Nicolas Market (St Nicks), the traditional market hub of Bristol with lots of yummy food stalls and a farmers market every Wednesday.
Excellent train links - only 15/20 minute walk to Temple Meads station and city centre.
Excellent bus links - only a few minutes walk for local buses around the city and 15/20 minute walk for airport buses.
If you explore a little further you will find you aren't too far from the beautiful Somerset countryside, heading towards Bath, Glastonbury and Wells.
It's a great location for exploring Bristol, Bath and the South West.

I spent Two weeks with this lovely family. My husband and daughter came over for four days too.
Of course I can tell that the house is big and very clean, the room is warm and cozy and it has all comforts, the location is great (only 20 min walk to the centre, and three of the most beautiful parks in a few minute walk), but it won't be enough.
Kate, Paul and Ted are fantastic! They not only were a great hosts, but they also supported and practically helped us for the reasons of our visit in Bristol; They gave us good advices and recommended the most unique places to visit.
We advise you to choose Kate for your stay in Bristol: you will enjoy the calm and warmth of the house and the laughter of Ted in the morning. Informe strongly recommend it!!!April 2018

I don't know how I can start telling you all what staying at Kate's home meant for my boyfriend and me: it was our first home in Bristol, first people met, first family that welcomed us!
Of course I can tell that the house is big and very clean, the room is warm and cozy and it has all comforts, the location is great (only 20 min walk to the centre, and three of the most beautiful parks in a few minute walk), but it won't be enough.
Kate, Paul and Ted are fantastic! They not only were a great hosts, but they also supported and practically helped us for the reasons of our visit in Bristol; They gave us good advices and recommended the most unique places to visit. They also made us discover the life of their neighborhood and together we shared excellent dinners. They are very cool and they gave us trust and freedom.
We advise you to choose Kate for your stay in Bristol: you will enjoy the calm and warmth of the house, the laughter of Ted in the morning and the nice community of the neighborhood. You will not regret it!October 2015
