9.4/10 Exceptional! (32 reviews)

We’ve just enjoyed a four night stay in Bristol heavily focused on shows at the Hippodrome. The flat was situated perfectly for easy walking to the venue, across to Cabot Circus and Broad Mead and also for exploring on foot further afield. The accommodation was extremely well furnished and decorated, very comfortable and well equipped. The beds were comfortable and the secure parking was excellent. Communications with the company were spot on, their instructions were easy to follow and slight problems were resolved in a very speedy and impressive manner. All in all this was a great trip made even better with superb accommodation.

Great location for accessing the city centre, everything is easily walkable and the main bus stops are a few minutes walk. Rooms are a good size, clean, tidy with no noise. Breakfast is excellent and worth the cost to fill up for the day! Scrambled egg tasted a bit synthetic and we weren’t the only guests saying it and leaving theirs.
