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.

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!December 2016
Thank you for all Jon! I stayed a few days in Jon's house at the beginning of my new experience in Bristol. I was a little bit lost but Jon helped me to find a job and a accommodation, so I highly recommend this room!
Jon is a friendly and welcoming host who is always up to have a chat and a cup of tea!
The room and the private bathroom are very clean and very comfortable.
Furthermore, there is a bus stop just in front of the house, so it's easy to go to the center.

House was very clean with a large bedroom and very comfy bed. Jon was very nice, helpful and makes a cracking cup of tea! Had to leave the car down the road as couldn't find the back of the property to park it and on limited parking out front. Would use again though.
