My friend and I stayed at the old Gaol to revisit some Bristol haunts. We knew the area which is bohemian and lively right of the famous Gloucester Road full of independent shops and cafes. The street itself is a quiet side street so we had the best of both worlds. It is also a great location to access the central shopping areas, bus station and Harbourside. The old Gaol was a delight with original features integrated with modern touches. Lovely compact and modern kitchen and bathroom. Both the bed and sofa bed were comfortable and the space worked well with a large built in cupboard to fit a suitcase and room to store clothes. The whole place had a lovely finish and I really liked the variety of lighting options which allowed us to make the best use of the open plan space during day and evening. Handy USB charging points on the electrical sockets, a diverse book selection and little nods to the original use of the place made it functional and fun! What a gem. Frank was on hand and communicated quickly when we were organising arrival and departure over the busy Christmas /new year period. We didn't get the chance to talk properly but we had everything we needed and he was a helpful host during planning. Wholeheartedly recommend as a central bolthole which felt roomier than it looked and was a truly unique apartment.
