Jude and Rosemary were great hosts, welcoming and friendly and made me feel very comfortable during my stay. Their place is lovely, plenty of little touches, art-works, books and pottery that make it feel homely. They are situated in a great location walking distance to the city centre (15 mins) and good access to the bus/coach station. (30 minute walk or 20 minute bus). The is around 10 mins taxi to Temple Meads Station, it's walkable but allow around 30-40 minutes.
Jude and Rosemary's place is ideal for solo travellers, the room was warm and comfortable. Access to Kitchen facilities was really helpful and it was lovely to have breakfast, tea and coffee provided. Wi-fi connection was nice and strong in the bedroom too.
Bristol is a great city for art-lovers and culture vultures, a really eclectic mix of shops, cafes, theatre and cinema. My recommendations would be:
The Old City and St Nicholas' Market - try the Centrepoint gallery for travelling artist exhibitions
Clifton village for great little boutiques, restaurants and cafes.
Everyman Cinema on Whiteladies Road- period cinema/bar, around £15 for an adult ticket but a luxury experience.
Bristol Cathedral also has a lovely garden attached, very peaceful.
The RWA- visit Epiphany cafe for an amazing blueberry-lemon scone.
