We had a lovely stay at the Barn. Lois and her husband were very welcoming and helpful and had left delicious homemade cake, bread, eggs, milk, preserves and bacon for us, as well as well stocked provisions and cooking utensils so we could cook our own meals. The kitchen area is also equipped with a full size cooker and oven, microwave and fridge with small freezer. Waitrose is less than a 10 minute walk away if you need provisions.

The Barn is quite quirky and has a homely cluttered feel. If you are into minimalist and modern this isn't the place for you. However if you want a homely place to stay with lots of room in a very quiet location in the heart of the city then we can highly recommend it.

The property is set back from the road down what looks to be a footpath. It is hidden away behind some gates so feels nice and secure and if you had young children it offers a safe area for them to play outside. A large park and a children's play area are right outside the gates and table football and table tennis are available inside the B&B as well as a TV with Sky and wifi.

The double bedroom and the twin bedroom each have their own wet room (toilet and shower) so it is also ideal for two adult couples to share as we did. The beds were comfortable and the showers powerful and hot. Large towels are provided which we found to be fine, however if you like soft and fluffy towels you might wish to bring your own. There is also a seating area outside the B&B with table for al fresco dining and a garden to sit in.

The Barn is a 15 minute walk from the Downs and views of Clifton suspension bridge and also from Whiteladies road with shops and some lovely restaurants (We can recommend Aqua). There is also a good bus service close by to provide links to the city centre and the airport.

We would definitely stay here again when we are next in Bristol.
