We throughly enjoyed our stay at Gethin's. There was great communication prior to and during our trip which made staying at their lovely, spacious and comfortable home a more personal experience. We have used various AirBnb homes and always felt this was a really important connection to make before any stays.
The home had all you would need to cook, relax, play and is in a great location to get around different parts of Bristol. Our son and daughter loved pond dipping for tadpoles (we had brought our nature explorer kit being outdoor people), playing in the garden and doing some water play in the heat. There is an eating area outside with a parasol so we enjoyed eating our meals outdoors. We received ample local information on the area and tips of what we could do such as walks, cycle paths, cafes and the local food stores. We personally loved Matter Wholefoods.
The area was safe and friendly. The home felt very private and the bath/shower facilities were great. We liked that the corridors had a soft glow sensor light that would come on when we woke up at night to go to the bathroom..very cool! Great for young children too waking up at night to head to the loo...
It was easy to medium effort to walk to Frome River for a play with our two young children even in the heat. Parking was also convenient on the road and we found a space close to the house easily. We were staying in Bristol for a wedding anniversary party so was busy socially and really appreciated coming home to a place that felt like our home. Bristol itself had a friendly, creative, diverse and fun vibe. We were there for the Harbour Festival and even though the town was packed, it didn't feel hectic with such ample space. Gethin, Jen and his sister were very welcoming and we would definitely consider staying here again.
