The location of the house is close to the best of Bristol and boasts stunning views towards the SS Great Britain. We loved Clifton village with its bars, cafes, restaurants and shops and spent hours exploring the docks, museums, cathedral and SS Great Britain. Thank you Beth and Steve for the opportunity to enjoy a lovely weekend.

Read More...We loved everything about Steve and Beth's impressive house, their village, Clifton and Bristol. It was great to leave the car parked for our entire stay, whilst we enjoyed walks to the local pub (the Lion, with good food and beer), cafes etc, Clifton Suspension bridge, Leigh Woods, Austin Court, the Clifton Downs, Bristol Harbour, and enjoyed relaxing in your peaceful garden on the terrace, overlooking the harbour and SS Great Britain. Thank you for your kind gift and making us feel so welcome.

Read More...The house is a gem, with a lovely garden with views of the SS Great Britain and... a Banksy mural. The latter one hard to find, we discovered it only in the last 5 minutes of our stay! Bristol is a beautiful town with lots of things to see. Especially for us - at least that's what we were told by one of the volunteers on SS Great Britain- there was a documentary on TV about Brunel's work. We were immersed in history and in local culture. Bethany and Steve left loads of information and good tips for food and shopping. We will be happy to go again! Lief and Gerda

Read More...As soon as Beth & Steve heard we'd already be in the UK before the swap with them would start, they invited us for tea and practical explanation. So we've actually met Beth & Steve and they are very nice people. Their house on the hill is really special: where can you see an old harbour from the living room, your bed and even the bath? Actually, the explanation was not necessary, because they've made an excellent manual. Later, during our stay, they reacted very pleasant and fast to our questions. Bristol has many faces. The ever changing collection of high quality graffiti (often called "street art") in many streets is amazing and unique.

Beskrivelse av hjemmet vi tilbyr å bytte bort
Bristol has frequently been voted best UK City to live.. Here's a link to an article about the city in The Times (October 2020)
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/a-guide-to-moving-to-bristol-j5v7t3rqx?shareToken=db7226959a1bafa7c09a427c1901d914
Our home is a1860s terraced house overlooking the historic harbour and the Somerset hills - probably the most spectacular view in Bristol. Clifton Wood has a quiet bohemian village atmosphere but is also just minutes from Clifton Village, the Avon Gorge and all the cultural activities and attractions of the City Centre. Close to Bristol University. The city is increasingly known for its fesivals and events so a great swap if you wish to visit when these are taking place.
The house has two floors at the front and three at the back, with a lovely garden and terrace overlooking the harbour.
It is one of Bristol's famous "painted houses" and frequently features in articles about Bristol's most beautiful streets - see this from October 2020 https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/gallery/bristols-most-beautiful-streets-16-4613907

Beskrivelse av vårt nabolag og området rundt
Clifton Wood is a village within a city. it is famous for its coloured houses (of which we are one) and is often described by estate agents as "bohemian"! It is in easy walking distance of the city centre, transport links and also Clifton Village shops and restaurants. It is convenient for walks around the historic docks and into the countryside.

Våre tips til steder å gå og ting å gjøre mens du bor i vårt hjem
From our house it is a short walk to many attractions including Bristol's historic harbour, the SS Great Britain, the Georgian terraces of Clifton Village, the world famous Clifton Suspension Bridge and museums/art galleries. We are perfectly located for access to bath, the West Country, Wales, `devon and London (1 hour 40 minutes on the train - an easy day trip).
