Jon was a charming host who made us very welcome. This was our first time in Bristol and Jon helped make it a wonderful experience with his kindness and willingness to help us with everything. Our stay was very comfortable. Thanks so much Jon. All the best.

Jon is a lovely person who care you and makes you feel at home. Is an available and present person, he leaves your time but if you want to chat with him would be willing. Jon helps you if you need, is a very kind person with a lovely and clean house. Me and my boyfriend will be happy to come back!

Jon est un hôte à l'écoute de ses invités et très accueillant. Malgré mon faible niveau d'anglais nous avons pu communiquer sans problème. Ses conseils pour visiter BRISTOL et la région nous ont été très utiles. Hébergement propre, rien à redire. Nous le recommandons.
Merci Jon.

Jon is a wonderful person very open-minded and super nice.
The room has enough space and it is, as in the whole house, very clean.
We enjoyed the breakfast with him very much. It is very rich and healthy.
We can only recommend this accommodation.
Would go back to Jon immediately.
Thanks for everything.My Review......
FABULOUS GUESTS, so friendly and delightful couple. I really enjoyed hosting such nice people. You are welcome to stay again any time.May 2017
My friend and I stayed one night. There was easy parking in front of the house and the Remy Mackintosh style house sign told us that we would like what we found. Our rooms were comfortable and clean and we found Jon a friendly and helpful host. Jon is a very likable and interesting character and served the best breakfast jam! We would definitley stay here again and recommend it highly for a comfortable stay in easy reach of the centre of Bristol.

A calm and nice house near the city centre. The hosts are very handsome. We crossed a pleasant week-end in this amazing place and in Bristol too.
The room was very confortable and the bathroom was just perfect.
Thank you again for your warm welcome and your advices for the visits in Bristol or its surroundings. It was a pleasure to stay in your house.
Host reply

I had a great time to stay in Jon's Hill House.
Jon is very friendly and considerate. The room with basin is very lovely and comfortable. Everyday I enjoyed and felt relaxed. The house is nice located near a big super market and a bus stop which is very convenient to access to University, City center, Temple Meads etc. Thank you very much, Jon! Have a nice trip!
