A lovely place to stay! The house is gorgeous, with excellent views from the terraced garden. There was also a friendly neighbourhood cat who came to say hi while we were having dinner outside. The location is quiet at night, and convenient for the 24 bus into town which is frequent (and it's also a short and lovely walk from Montpelier station).
Unfortunately Jess was away so we didn't get to meet her, but Richard was a great host, made us feel at home right away (he gave us some of the really excellent blackberries at the end of the garden) and was full of advice and info about Bristol.
