Our son has lived in this part of Bristol for 16 years so we have been able to see it steadily developing. It has a wide variety of interesting independent shops, especially perhaps for food, and some excellent eating places. It has good transport links into the exciting city by bus and further around by train. This house makes an excellent base and is spotless and beautifully equipped. The December weather kept us out of the garden but it did look perfect for relaxing in with a drink. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, and comfortingly close-by.
