We had a delightful 10-day stay in Bea's Thyme Lodge! The space was perfect for the two of us, everything we needed, with so many thoughtful features. The kitchen corner had everything we required to cook, and Bea generously shared her delicious herbs, veggies and berries from the garden. We only ate outside the house twice as there is a Coop grocery store just around the corner. We didn't have a car and didn't require one- the main #1 bus is a 5 minute walk away on Fermaine Ave and took us to Bristol center in just 20 minutes, Bath in 35, and Bristol Temple Meads train station in 15. It was often chilly while we were in Bristol, but the lodge was so cozy with the toasty heater, and there is another small heater in the good-sized bathroom (with nice and hot shower water!) The bed was very comfortable, and the couch perfect for opening the glass doors wide on sunny days and enjoying the view and aromatic scents of the herb garden. There is also a small patio table for two on which we had tea and ate breakfast. The Lodge sits just behind the owner's house (but faces away from it to give great privacy) and is in the very populated but incredibly quiet residential Bristol neighborhood of Brislington. One of our favorite features is the Lodge's close proximity to a gorgeous 65 acre nature reserve- just 5 minutes walk away and we were hiking along the Avon River and forest, or having a pint and dinner at Beesie's absolutely delightful riverfront cottage restaurant and pub, a must visit while you are there (we went as often as we could!) Bea was extremely hospitable and easy to contact and interact with. A truly wonderful visit to Bristol- we moved into Bristol Center after we left Thyme lodge and kept wishing we were back at Bea's place. We can't wait to return the next time we are in the area! Thank you Bea!
