Best mattress EVER. If it were legal to marry a mattress, I would 100% marry this mattress. Apart from that, lovely place, lovely host, only small downside is that hill does NOT mess around, so get a taxi from the station when you have luggage!

Lovely host and clean comfortable digs. 10-15 minute walk to the theatres.
18th May 2026
Super comfortable and clean and a short walk away from theatres! Highly recommend x
14th Apr 2026
Lovely place in a quiet neighbourhood which I highly recommend. Very easy walk into the theatre will happily stay again next time I am in the city.
7th Dec 2025
A cute little basement apartment in a lovely area, and Kate is a fantastic host!
22nd Sep 2025
The self contained digs are well worth the money to stay here. The basement flat is clean, the bed is comfy and the accommodation is a lovely walk to the theatre. Would stay here again in a heartbeat x
10th Sep 2025
Lovely self contained digs mice and close to theatre, only a 15 min walk to hippodrome, would definitely stay again!
8th Sep 2025
I had a lovely stay with Kate. Her digs are perfect, not far from the theatre just a 20 min walk. And a kitchen area ideal for food prep.
13th Jun 2025
I had a wonderful stay at Kate’s place. The bedroom was lovely the bed was very comfortable. A lovely space and o felt very safe. Great communication with Kate
I would highly recommend.
Thank you
6th May 2025
I stayed with Kate for 3 weeks while I was in Bristol on the 'Tina' musical tour.
Very comfortable bed, lovely shower, the little kitchen was well equipped (including a washing machine) the place was always warm and cosy, great for relaxing after the show in the sitting room with a glass of wine and some music. The wi-fi connection is excellent.
Kate and Gareth are friendly hosts - Thank you for a lovely stay, I hope I can come back.
2nd May 2025
Can't thank Kate enough for welcoming me into her home for my time in Bristol, the space has everything I needed, and was a great home away from home. Regrettably I never got to meet Kate in person due to my work schedule, but she was easily reachable by phone or message. The walk to and from the Hippodrome is hilly and through a park so worth noting if walking home at night, though I had no trouble. Definitely recommend!
24th Mar 2025
I had a really nice stay here. Lovely hosts, great area of Bristol and not too far from theatre. Would stay here again.
10th Mar 2025
My stay with Kate and Gareth was absolutely wonderful. Great people. The digs were everything they said it would be and more. Can't recommend them highly enough. David Burrows
14th Dec 2024
A lovely room and use of the little kitchen is a real bonus - not 100% self contained as sometimes the office is in use but mainly very private and Kate couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.
30th Sep 2024
What a totally wonderful stay! I was there for two weeks and Kate and her family couldn't have been more accommodating. The property is in a beautiful area, it's spotless, so comfortable, and just what I needed. Thank you so so much!
3rd Sep 2024
Our stay with Kate was perfect.
This is a beautiful home in a great location. It's an easy 10 min walk to the theatre down whiteladies steps, if you're worried about that route at night it's a bit of an uphill walk along the side of the park and up constitution hill. Clifton village is even closer with lots of restaurants and cafes so there's nowhere better id recommend. Communication with Kate was super easy too.
Thanks for our stay Kate x
14th Jul 2024
Thank you so much Bethany it was lovely to have you xx
Loved my stay!!! Even booked for the next tour!!!
23rd Apr 2024
A great place to stay. It has everything you need and hosts are very helpful. A very simple and safe walk to nearby theatres and an ideal location. Definitely recommend.
23rd Jan 2024
Had a lovely stay at Kate's.The room was clean and comfy and having my own space was really nice. Kate and her husband were very welcoming. An easy walk to the theatre however coming back can be tricky as it's up quite a steep hill and steps but easy enough to get an uber if needed. Would definitely stay again!
22nd Jan 2024
Digs were pretty decent. Comfortable room and use of kitchen. Hosts were super friendly. The walk into town was nice and easy, but I opted for an uber back at night. These came quickly which was handy. I will just say it’s not quite self contained as to go between the kitchen and bedroom you have to go through the office which is sometimes in use. Also quite noisy in the bedroom through the ceiling during the morning. But overall a decent stay.
18th Sep 2023
Absolutely superb self contained digs..everything you need for a home from home . Close to the Hippodrome too ! Thankyou
21st Aug 2023
Lovely place and Kate was a lovely host :)
Thank you very much!
10th Aug 2023
The place was very clean and comfortable, but it should not say “self contained” or “you get the place to yourself”. As lovely as the hosts are, it doesn’t clearly state that you have to walk through the working home office to get to the kitchen. As a working adult, I booked this to have private space, whilst on a stressful job. I don’t want to have to walk through a working office half asleep trying to get to my morning coffee. Noisy above bedroom too unfortunately. Sorry, you are lovely people
8th Aug 2023
Lovely self contained flat under the main house. Very clean and tidy in a lovely, quiet area of Bristol.
Thank you for a lovely stay.
1st Aug 2023
Lovely basement flat, comfortable bed and immaculately clean. Fantastic hosts and good value for money. I would advise women to get a taxi home from Hippodrome, as the walk, whilst short, is up an alleyway of secluded and steep stairs. Thanks
22nd May 2023
Wonderful digs in a gorgeous property and a great location to the Hippodrome. I would love to stay here again in the future.
3rd May 2023
Had a great 2 weeks here with Kate! Such a lovely quiet place, and very clean. Easy walk to the theatre/town centre - comfy bed - shower in the room. Kitchen and access is through the home office but this was no problem! Highly recommend!
8th Apr 2023
Comfortable accommodation, lovely friendly hosts! About a 15 minute walk to the Hippodrome.
17th Mar 2023

26th Nov 2019
A lovely little apartment of my own under their house. Own lovely shower in my room & toilet & kitchen just outside my room rarely used by others. Warm family. Only issue was sometimes the signal wasn’t all that great being underground but nice stay!
21st Oct 2019
Nice location, incredibly friendly and approachable hosts. Own entrance & ensuite shower. The kitchen is shared during the day with the office, but just yours at night. I'll definitely try and stay there again.
13th Jul 2019
