Thank you Carolyn for another wonderful stay! When you stay here you really feel part of the family, I can’t thank Carolyn enough for making me feel so welcome. The house is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and the room/kitchen/bathroom has everything you could possibly need. What’s more, it’s less than a 15 min walk from the theatre, with lovely walks/coffee shops nearby. I really do hope that I visit Bristol again soon so I can return to these perfect digs. Thanks again Carolyn!

Perfect digs - perfect guest . What more can I say ? Your stay with me was full of fun and happiness and please come again when I will welcome you and monkey with open arms!
Fantastic room with a great view of Bristol. Carolyn's a great host who promptly responded to any of my queries, and the house itself is spacious, gorgeous, and has a lovely garden where you can sit outside. Everything was very clean and orderly.

Tamir is a most interesting young man and I enjoyed our chats together . He was a perfect guest kind and appreciative .
Carolyn is such a thoughtful and interesting person - I really enjoyed my time in her lovely home. The room is sunny and comfortable with a great view over Bristol + I had exclusive use of the bathroom on the same floor. The Kingsdown location is superb, too. There's a top pub, The Hare on The Hill just round the corner or just stroll down the hill to Stokes Croft and soak up the Bristol 'vibe'; you'll find loads of great cafes and coffee shops + the centre is a quick hop on the bus from there.

Carolyn was the perfect host, I felt so looked after! She was warm and friendly and tried to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Carolyn, I loved staying with you. X
6th Apr 2026
A delightful young lady . Appreciative, quiet, friendly . Very attractive personality . Please come back one day Sasha . Xxx
Carolyn was so, so incredibly lovely and welcoming. The room was gorgeous and warm, with a lovely little tea and coffee tray! The house itself was so beautiful and Carolyn was such an amazing host. We’d go back in a heartbeat if ever in the area! You’d be silly not to book to stay here: you’d be missing out on lovely conversation, three lovely people and the cleanest corridors I’ve ever seen haha! Genuinely such a perfect place. Thank you Carolyn! Love, Jess and Liv xx
13th Jan 2026
Oh my goodness Jess ! Thankyou for such a kind and complimentary review . You and your partner Liv are great fun ,friendly, tidy and extremely dedicated to your work . You are both so young - I just wanted you to feel a bit of ‘ home from home’ . Touring is not an easy ride! I may see you both again one day and I wish you all the best luck in the world . Carolyn. xx. PS Relieved you found the corridors clean!,,( in joke) .
I had a lovely stay in Carolyn’s digs. She was very accommodating and hospitable, going the extra mile with small gestures that I was very grateful for! Her digs are situated in a peaceful area about a 20-minute walk from the city centre.
Carolyn was a wonderful host and I would thoroughly recommend booking with her if you are visiting Bristol.
Thank you, Carolyn!
25th Nov 2025
Brook lights up a room with his personality and bright smile . A charming friendly happy young man . We all loved him. Please visit us again Brook and very best wishes to you .

I wish I could’ve stayed longer!
26th Sep 2025
Thanks Kate . May see you again one day - hope so.
I had such a brilliant stay in Bristol. Carolyn is a wonderful host - so friendly, welcoming and caring. Her home and the room is absolutely beautiful. There's lots of lovely thoughtful touches and it's not too far to the Old Vic.
Sadly I was there only briefly but I'd love to stay again! Thank you Carolyn!
18th Aug 2025

Had a lovely time staying at Carolyn’s. The room is large with plenty of storage space.
Its 20 minutes walk to the Hippodrome or 5 minutes by dott scooter or e-bike. Very close to cool cafes and the supermarket.
The bed is two single mattresses pushed together on a double bed base. Large well equipped kitchen and there is a beautiful garden to enjoy in the summer.
Carolyn was very kind and always made sure I had what I needed. Thank you so much for having me!
23rd Jun 2025
Thanks Sophie - and all the best to you . Keep smiling !
Lovely digs, friendly, clean, quiet, comfortable. Tea & kettle in room. Easy downhill walk to the theatre. Uphill back - or roughly £6-7 in an uber!
28th May 2025
Even though Carolyn wasn’t well whilst I was there she greeted me like a long lost friend. It was a most wonderful experience in a listed Georgian building. The bed was so comfy I was asleep in minutes every night. Hope to be able to return soon.
11th May 2025
Fantastic digs, warm and comfortable. Carolyn was the perfect host. I would definitely stay again.

Carolyn’s home is so lovely and welcoming! I’ll definitely stay again when in Bristol! A perfect home away from home!
31st Mar 2025
I had such a lovely stay here, could not recommend enough. Had many great chats with Carolyn, who was such a kind and welcoming host. My room was spacious with a fantastic view of the city from the window, and the bed was very comfy. Kitchen was extremely easy to use and had everything I could possibly need. The house itself is a listed building and had so much character about it. Thanks Carolyn for such a great stay!

Thankyou Angus . We all enjoyed the play and the marvellous seats . See you again sometime I hope .
Carolyn was so welcoming, and loved getting to spend a small amount of time chatting over tea.
The room was perfect for my needs and the bed was incredibly comfortable.
Location is incredible. 5 minutes and you are near all the coffee shops of Stokes Croft and only 15 minute walk to the centre of Bristol.
Would definitely stay here again.
1st Oct 2024
Thanks Lee!
My stay with Carolyn was fantastic. I received a very warm welcome from arrival and i was made to feel very at home in the house as well as given my space for privacy as the room was a perfect size with all the amenities i needed. I especially enjoyed the AGA in the kitchen! I would highly recommend a stay with C if youre coming to Bristol. Perfect location too as the house sits just above a cool street with plenty of coffee shops and nice cafes!
30th Sep 2024
Carolyn is a wonderful host, so welcoming and accommodating. A beautiful house which was the perfect base for my days in Bristol.
23rd Sep 2024
Carolyn was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The house was charming as well as comfortable with all the amenities I needed as well as sole use of the bathroom. The house was located a 20 minute walk to the Hippodrome but more like 25 walking back as it is uphill, however Ubers were around £6. I would highly recommend staying at Carolyn's and hopefully will next time in Bristol.

A beautiful house with stunning views over Bristol, a warm and welcoming host for whom nothing is too much trouble, a spacious, quiet, spotlessly clean, warm room with a comfortable bed, a bathroom with a bath AND a shower, and lots of hot water . . . I felt totally at ease here, which made for a wonderfully relaxed and stress free week. Thank you so much, Carolyn, for offering what really does feel like a home from home!

Not sure I deserve this wondrous praise dear Kate - but Thank you so much !
Carolyn was very lovely and it was a pleasure to stay with her
5th Feb 2017
Thank you Danielle! It is always helpful to know if guests are satisfied with what is on offer . I do not agree with hosts commenting on guests so I never do this . Theatredigs folk are always wonderful .
Comfortable room. Completely spoilt by extensive building work next door which made sleeping after 7.45 in the morning impossible.
Saw Mrs Harman only once in the entire week, at check in. Pleasant stay.
26th Nov 2016
Carolyn was a great host. Fantastic energy, caring and helpful.
19th Oct 2016
Thankyou Joe . I hope your bruised hip is healing well. See you again one day maybe.
I stay in the double room while in Bristol, Carolyn couldn't have been more helpful from the minute I messaged her asking to book the room. The room is huge and the bathroom right next door. The street is very quiet and lovely surroundings.
18th Sep 2016
Lovely quiet room in a gorgeous house. Thank you for wonderful hospitality in your absence.
17th Jul 2016
Susie enjoyed your coffee together in the garden. Wish we'd met but perhaps another time ...........delighted you appreciated the house - circa 1768! Carolyn.
These were excellent digs and if I am ever in Bristol again will make sure I stay her.
14th Jul 2016
Thank you Sarah. May I say that you were a perfect guest. I hope we will meet again. Carolyn
Great host, lovely house, gorgeous cobbled street. Uphill through a council estate to get home- so perhaps not for the fainter of heart.
20th Jun 2016
Oh dear Ian! You obviously took the circular way back. Hippodrome to me is 15mins straight up St Michaels Hill---a hospital but no council estate. Thanks for your nice remarks -it was good to meet you.
Lovely friendly digs, really comfy room.
Highly recommended.
12th Apr 2016
Carolyn is a truly wonderful host. She went out of her way to make me welcome and nothing was too much trouble. A special lady.
I will certainly stay again next time I'm in Bristol.
