2nd May 2025
Good price and lovely arrangement. Technically in the hosts house but own entrance and all needed facilities on a separate floor to host so self contained vibe. Absolutely loved my stay and would love to stay again in the future. Highly recommend. Easy 27 min walk to theatre along a nice route.

I'll be looking to book here every time I come to Bristol! Great space
6th Mar 2025
Great digs. Has everything you need, in a fantastic location with a lovely 25 minute walk along the river to Bristol Old Vic and in a lovely quiet area.
Richard was incredibly welcoming (offered to carry my ridiculously heavy bag for me - thank you!) and he was only on the end of a phone if I needed anything.
I will certainly be booking again if I'm back in Bristol again. Thanks Richard!
27th Sep 2024
Richard's digs are excellent. Fantastic location and self-contained, well-presented accommodation with fully equipped kitchen. You would struggle to find better value for money in Bristol.
8th Sep 2024
Simply put my 'go to' digs if I'm working in Bristol. So good I booked them a year in advance! Thanks once again for everything Richard.
6th Sep 2024
Situated in the loveliest place. Clifton just a 9 minute walk. It's peaceful & charming .
A self contained basement flat in a Georgian terrace.
A nice walk downhill to the Hippodrome or a bus if you've got luggage .
Thanks for a lovely stay Richard
15th Apr 2024
Excellent digs that are extremely well priced for Bristol and in one of the loveliest areas of town. Communication was smooth and easy, you get an entire basement flat to yourself with full amenities in goregous clufton. The hippodrome is a 25 min walk but the walk is mostly flat and there are enough buses that pass by if needed. Will definitely come again !
10th Apr 2024
Excellent essentially self-contained digs. Very welcoming and accommodating host. Hope to stay again!

29th Jan 2023
A fantastic little flat, really comfortable with everything we needed. Only lost a star on location because it is on a very steep hill - no bother normally but was a little dicey in the icy weather!
26th Jan 2023
Fantastic self contained flat close to Clifton area of Bristol. A casual 20 minute walk to the Hippodrome. Richard was a dream to communicate with. I would highly recommend booking this basement flat. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. 10/10

Thank you richard, jen, lily and Freddie. Really nice people. Loads of privacy. Great week.
25th Jul 2016
Great Digs and nice to have your own space. All amenities provided and a straight forward walk (20-25min) to the theatre.
Richard is a great Host, very welcoming and leaves you to your own privacy. Would recommend and stay here again!
13th May 2016
Really lovely digs! I felt so at home here and can't wait to come back!! Thank you Richard for having me! x
1st Apr 2016
These are wonderful digs in a lovely corner of Bristol close to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. You are basically getting your own personal basement flat - I liked it so much I have already booked my next visit for July. Perfect in every way!
29th Feb 2016
Self-contained space was excellent and the bedroom was spacious. TV and Wifi were great.
A nice 20 minute walk to the theatre.
Richard was very friendly and I loved staying here.
I would definitely stay again.
21st Feb 2016
Brilliant digs!
Lovely peaceful location with easy access to both the theatres and the local facilities.
Will be my first choice for digs in Bristol from now on!
17th Jan 2016
I had a really lovely stay at Hope Square. The self-contained flat was far more spacious than I had anticipated and had everything I needed.
In a really lovely area too (Clifton) with great places for brunch and coffee!
I hardly saw Richard, but he was a great host and was there if I needed anything.
I only wish I had a longer stay here! Was so nice to have my own little haven to come back to after the show.
Will definitely be back if I find myself in Bristol again - thank you!!
12th Oct 2015
My own little private flat!
This spacious basement flat set in the gorgeous area of Clifton was a perfect end to my tour. The open plan kitchen/living room meant I could cook meals and relax in my own space. All the mod cons are provided plus pots, pans, baking trays and dishes.
I was worried about the noise reviews that have been left on previous visits but I can strongly say that it wasn't a problem at all. In the evenings I could hear the subtle sounds of footsteps whilst I was in the kitchen making dinner around 8pm (I was performing during the day), but nothing whilst I was in bed or in the morning. There are several floors to their house so during the late and early hours it was very peaceful.
About a 30 minute walk along the river into town and theatres, or there are frequent buses at the end of the road.
Richard was so lovely, when I accidentally left some clothes behind he washed them and sent them 1st class the next day.
Wouldn't hesitate in staying here again
Thank you
2nd Sep 2015
Lots of space in these self contained digs; large bedroom, living room with well equipped kitchen and bathroom with bath and shower. Also own entrance which is nice and gives you plenty of privacy.
My only criticism is that being a basement flat it can be quite noisy, lots of conversation, music and footsteps from above. For the most part this was only really through the day though. I did have one issue with noise during the night but the host was very apologetic and I get the impression this wouldn't be a regular occurrence (The host was actually away on holiday leaving his children in the house).
The digs are in a great area, easy walk to the theatre or buses close by.
HOST COMMENT
“Yes really sorry about the noise Lyndsey, but as discussed since, it was very much a one-off occurrence for the reasons you say. We don’t normally let when we are away, and in any case, our children are not usually at home, but at work or university.”
9th Aug 2015
Fantastic digs.
15/20 minute walk to The Hippodrome.
Close to the lovely Clifton Village and Tesco Express.
Great cafes, local pubs and independent shops.
Self contained. Wifi.
I had a really lovely stay in Bristol.
Richard is a perfect host.
23rd Apr 2015
Warm and comfortable digs within easy walking distance of The Hippodrome.
The bedroom is comfortably furnished and the double bed (which I used) has a good mattress.
The kitchen has everything you need and there is a good sitting/dining area. Communication with the host was easy and friendly but not at all intrusive. I would definitely recommend these digs to friends and would stay here again, so thank you, Richard, for a peaceful and relaxed week!
I do need to say that my first impression was that the flat seemed slightly tired and worn and that some things, for instance the oven and pans, didn’t seem that clean. Some of the china in the kitchen is chipped, but these things may all be the result of previous tenants who haven’t been careful and who haven’t cleaned up after themselves.
These few things soon ceased to bother me and the flat really felt like a home from home, which is exactly what you need on tour.
HOST COMMENT:
"Hi thanks. Coincidentally we have just recently upgraded the pans and crockery and given the carpets a deep clean. I’ll now turn my attention to the oven, always good to have honest feedback. Richard "
