Living with Host, Self-Contained
Hello ..I'm offering a lovely spacious Victorian double room (single occupancy) with it's own separate private kitchen and small shower / toilet ..all of which is for your own personal use. Access to the room is through the shared main front door of the house. The room / kitchen is immediately to the left of the front door as you come in on street level so it is self-contained. There is quite a lot of street parking but we like to be respectful of our neighbours. I live in the house with my husband and sometimes one of our 2 daughters drops by to stay. The house is set over 3 floors. Please note this is strictly a non-smoking / green household.

Thanks so much Lily .. it was lovely to have you stay.
Lovely digs! Excellently self-contained with everything I could have needed. Claire was a supportive host who was only a text away if I needed anything. I would definitely stay again if I’m ever back in Bristol!
21st Dec 2025
Cheers Faye..look forward to your return visit! And Merry Xmas!
Claire offers a wonderful space that has everything you need. A lovely kitchen with shopping just down the street. The place is quite, friendly and well organized. It was an absolute joy staying there while I attended the Old Vic Theatre School. A bonus - you may be greeted Stevie's wagging tale or have a lovely chat with Claire, your host.

I stayed with Claire for 3 weeks and had such a lovely time. The bed was comfortable and the private kitchen was so well equipped. Claire was always on hand for anything I needed! Though the walk is around 40 minutes, I used the Dott scooters/ebikes to get to the Hippodrome in just over 10 minutes every day, which was so convenient. Thank you!
24th Jun 2025
And thank you too Daniel. A pleasure having you.
Great digs, second time at Claire’s place.

Cheers Kevin..look forward to seeing you again.
Welcoming friendly host who was very helpful! Great digs with everything I needed and easy location and bus to town. Loved coming home after a hard night at the theatre. Comfy bed and appreciated the changed bed sheets too! Thank you Claire ! Hope to see you again 😃

I had a lovely relaxing stay at Claire's. She was very accommodating and helpful. The room itself was ideal and had everything I needed for my week's stay. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable, little heater was ideal and the en-suite was super convenient! Parking was easy and free. Highly recommend!
31st Mar 2025
Cheers Laura...much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again.
I had a great stay at Claire's digs, they're based just off Gloucester Road which is full of shops and food places and the buses are regular and take about 20 minutes to get to the town centre. The digs themselves are cosy and the shower is nice and strong. It can get quite cold in the digs even with the heating on so id bring a good jumper, but Claire was very accommodating and changed when the heating went on to best suit. Overall I had a good stay would definitely recommend :))
25th Mar 2025
A wonderful stay. Completely self-contained place. So peaceful and everything you need. Claire was so friendly and helpful. It’s a 15 minute bus ride into town which goes from the top of the street and is so frequent, I took an uber at night which was about £7.00. Can highly recommend!

Cheers Kirsty - go well!
I had the most lovely stay at these digs. Claire is a great host and the room itself is ideal! I was there for 6 weeks and could’ve easily stayed for longer! The kitchen is well equipped, the bed is comfortable and the en-suite is super convenient! Free parking also a bonus for me! Highly recommend these digs!

Ah cheers Rachel....hope o see you again. All the best Cx
This is my 2nd time staying at Claire's, Aways a pleasure, great room, comfy bed, nice hot shower, and a lovely kitchen overlooking the gardens- I've spent many an evening sitting in the kitchen after the show, listening to music, drinking wine and enjoying the calm of the place. Thanks Claire!, I'm back in Bristol next year - Hope I can stay again!
14th Aug 2024
Of course...looking forward to it already! Perfect guest. See you soon David. Cx
Lovely comfortable, self contained room, in a nice area. Had a nice peaceful stay here, would definitely return.

Thanks Sarah, look forward to it!
Such a lovely place to stay.
Wish I could stay longer. Very quiet and chilled house a little bit far from the Center but I really liked the walk into town! And lots of busses available
Great high street to walk down with plenty of nice pubs and eateries!
Highly recommended indeed
24th Jun 2024
Cheers Tonee..go well and hope to see you again.
Great self contained space, easy walk in and out of the city, and even better using the electric scooters and bikes! Will be booking here again if and when I perform next in Bristol.
Claire was a lovely host, and even though our paths didn't cross in person besides first entering the accommodation, she was easy to get in contact with at any time. She was also kind enough to post something to me that I had forgotten! Thanks Claire!
10th Apr 2024
Thanks Luca ..glad you got it and good to hear you've used our electric scooters & bikes. Yes do please come back! Cl.
This is a very cold house. Theely encourage you wear fleeces and jumpers during your stay as only put the heating on twice a day.. They say that the heating goes on at 8am and in the evening at 5pm. It doesn't! My towels and tea towels were left on the radiators to dry and were always damp. on my return in the evening. My advice to anyone booking this accommodation is to bring lots of warm clothes and an extra couple of hot water bottles for the bed.
9th Apr 2024
I am sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay David. I try very hard to provide a competitive, comfortable and welcoming accommodation and always encourage guests to let me know me their needs during the stay or leave comments and suggestions in the guest book. You did neither so I am a little confused by the content and accuracy of your review.
A fantastic place to stay. Claire was the loveliest host and I would highly recommend this accommodation.
18th Mar 2024
Cheers S. Hope you come again
Claire is a very friendly host with good communication, the accommodation has everything you need, with plenty of shops cafes and supermarket, with an easy straight walk to the theatre
2nd Mar 2024
I stayed in Claire's self contained apartment in her house for 3 weeks, It's lovely and cosy, with a very comfortable bed, the kitchen looks out onto her garden below. Lots of buses to and from Bristol city centre or a half hour walk. Claire is lovely- kind and caring- I return to Bristol next year for 5 weeks, luckily for me her apartment was available so I've booked again. Thank you Claire, See you next July!
16th Oct 2023

Claire's accommodation was more than a freelance artist, who had travelled 2 and a half hours from home, could ask for! Absolutely amazing value and location! The perfect place to come back to whilst doing workshops in Bristol.

It was lovely having Jordan to stay. Welcome any time.
Great digs! Fantastic having your own private kitchen and bathroom! Bit of a walk but if you're not up for it Bristol is very well connected with buses, electric bikes and electric scooters. Will definitely stay again if I'm back that way :)
