When staying in Bristol I used to stay in one of the large hotels. Yes, they have a lot of plus points but 3 things troubled me. Firstly, guests noisily returning to their rooms in the early hours (especially on a Friday night). Secondly, as in any busy city there is the noise of the emergency service sirens throughout most of the night and thirdly, there is the disturbance of the early morning departures as guests leave as early as 5am for flight departures. With all this in mind, I decided that I would try a 'quality' B and B. Parking in the Georgian crescent outside was a little tricky but that is probably more down to me having a large car! I was given the basement room which had direct access from the street down a small flight of stairs. A beautifully laid out main room with double bed, excellent shower and wc and in a room of similar size to the bathroom was a small kitchenette. Perfect! Fridge, microwave and an tea / coffee facilities were all that I required after a 3 hour drive and there were even some lovely home made biscuits -a nice touch.The room even had internal wooden shutters so that I could control the amount of light entering the room from the street light outside. Sean, my host, advised me how to get to the local eateries and even provided a local map. After an excellent nights sleep (undisturbed by extraneous noises) I had breakfast to look forward to. Homemade jams, a large bowl of fresh strawberries and raspberries were ready for me on the table. The raspberries were absolutely delicious especially bearing in mind that my stay was at the end of November! I was then provided with an excellent 'full english' - the mushrooms were perfectly fried, not the version you usually get at the big hotel breakfasts.....i could go on and on but suffice to say that this place is a real gem and in my opinion, reasonably priced. Highly recommended!!
