Tucked away in arty Southville – a five-minute walk from the River Avon and Wapping Wharf – this gorgeous home is the perfect setting for a relaxing stay in Bristol. 

We don’t know about you, but we could easily spend all day unwinding here. Start your morning with a fresh cup of coffee at the breakfast bar, then head outside to soak up some sun in the private garden. When it’s time to eat, fire up the barbecue and indulge in an alfresco feast before heading inside for a board game or two by the fire. With a piano, HDTV, and film projector at your disposal, there’s plenty to keep you occupied here. While away the evening in the trendy cocktail lounge or head upstairs for a movie screening, then retire to your bedroom for a good night’s rest. 

If you fancy exploring, you’ll find yourself within walking distance of many of Bristol’s major attractions. Not sure where to start? Why not wander down to the waterfront for a bit to eat before heading over to Clifton for a spot of upscale shopping? We can’t think of a better way to spend the day.

In the very heart of Bristol, this swanky apartment is a little haven of comfort and understated luxury. If you’re in Bristol for a city break, you’ll be pleased to hear the artisan stalls and street food outlets of charming St Nicholas Market are a ten-minute stroll away and there are plenty of swanky restaurants lining the waterfront just outside your front door. You’re also just a ten-minute walk from the main train station, so this place is ideal for those who want to explore the city on foot.

Inside, gold-trimmed stools at the breakfast bar and tufted velvet sofas in chestnut-brown are a plush look back at yesteryear. The slate-grey kitchen hides myriad mod cons for meals at home, and the living room has an wood-burning stove for a little cosiness. High double doors from the 19th century connect the living and dining room with the kitchen, creating an open-plan feel and corniced ceilings sit alongside modern sculptures for an eclectic feel. When it comes to bedtime, bedrooms are soothing spaces of crisp white and pops of botanica and birdlife, courtesy of fabulous prints on the walls.

Quirky, yet stylish, this home in Bristol will put you right on the doorstep of some of the best bars and eateries around. Take Bulrush, for example, a Michelin-star, fine-dining restaurant with a beautiful seasonal menu – only a four minute walk away, and you’ll discover many other gems along the way. Picture this, a day spent simply letting your feet guide you – you might pop up in Old City, known for historic buildings and craft beer bars, or you might head to the Bristol Cathedral. In between sightseeing, you can stop off at coffee shops and cafes for light bites, but do yourself a favour and get home before sundown so you can sit out in the garden with a nice glass of something and watch the colours play on the horizon at sunset. 

Inside the home, you’ll find a mix of eclectic touches and plush furnishings with a colour palette that makes it feel a little luxurious. Claim your spot on the velvet corner sofa to catch up on some of your favourite Netflix series, or stay in bed for an early morning reading session after opening the windows and topping up your coffee. Come together in the sleek kitchen to sort out a full English before indulging at the dining table, or take it outside for an alfresco breakfast. 

Midnight Blue & Velvet

Neutral in charcoals and whites, the zesty pop of orange makes this home feel as trendy as the city it’s in. Bristol has become very popular for visitors and with good reason – with so many gorgeous eateries and bars dotted around the city, who wouldn’t want to come, eat, and conquer? Throw in a good mix of Georgian architecture, cobbled roads, leafy suburbs, and sights to see, and you’re onto a winner whenever you’re looking for a city break. 

When you’re not visiting said restaurants, or sussing out the best opportunities for a holiday selfie, you might be holed up in a cosy cafe with an extra large coffee as you devour the book you’ve just purchased at the second-hand store. Walk past the University of Bristol as you head to 1532 Bristol to catch a show at the performing arts theatre. 

Back home, let the breeze through by opening every skylight and simply sink back into the corner sofa and catch up on a series. Later, move family-time out into the garden as you dine alfresco – if the weather allows it, you might even choose to stay there with a board game until the sun finally sets.

Bristol's Best

As colourful as it is comfortable, this stylish apartment puts you in an ideal spot to explore the best of Bristol’s entertainment and culture. 

For a city that’s known for its edgy vibe and artistic prowess, this home certainly doesn’t disappoint. Full of vibrant pops of jewel and pastel hues, this cool space instantly feels welcoming. We love the plump blush pink sofa that beckons chilled-out lounging with a mug of tea and a good book, while the dining table invites hearty at-home meals when you’re not checking out Bristol’s celebrated food scene. 

The bedrooms are equally as chic with their Matisse-inspired art prints and retro-modern furnishings – we’re particularly fond of the main bedroom’s tangerine velvet headboard that feels like an updated take on Art Deco elegance. 

And while you could easily spend much of your time luxuriating in your chilled-out pad, head out to explore the many sights within walking distance. Cabot Circus (a six-minute walk) is where you’ll find some of the city’s best shopping, and Stokes Croft (a fifteen-minute walk) is a sight to behold with its famous street art-lined streets, including some by graffiti legend Banksy. With Castle Park being an eight-minute walk away too and plenty of restaurants and bars within easy reach as well, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to things to see and do. 


Tangerine Sherbet

This stylish and luxurious apartment sits right in the centre of Bristol. Just outside the front door, you’ve got the old harbour and waterways lined with swanky restaurants. Head into the old city, a ten-minute walk away, and peruse the artisan stalls and street food offerings at trendy St Nicholas Market, where narrow streets are illuminated by stringed lights. 

The decor has a touch of vintage charm, evident in the wrought-iron and dark-wood bar stools that line the breakfast bar. The kitchen is a vision of sleek white modernity, where plenty of cupboard space leaves a satisfying minimalism and clear surfaces. Perhaps our favourite thing about this apartment is the deep, free-standing tub in the master bedroom. The view outside the windows to the barges in the river outside isn’t bad either. 

A Good Deed

Private Parking

Housed in a beautiful detached Georgian house dating back to 1870, this carefully curated apartment is a treat for those looking to stay within Bristol’s Redland neighbourhood – one of the most affluent and sought-after in the city.

Make yourself comfortable on the plump sofa with a mug of tea and your holiday read or gather around the bench-style dining table when you’re not out discovering the many local restaurants around you. 

The two bedrooms are pared-back spaces you’ll relish retreating to after a long day of sightseeing, while the emerald-coloured bathroom with its luxurious rainfall shower is a dream to wake up to each morning.

After a busy day of sightseeing and activities, relax on the sofa and read a good book in the natural light that bathes the living room, or catch up on any important work at the dedicated desk space found in the main bedroom. Sleep shouldn’t be a problem here either, with the Hypnos mattresses for a comfortable night of sweet dreams.

The Audrey 

Throws

The words colourful and eclectic might not conjure up an image of balance, but despite the striking wallpaper and different shades of pink, orange, and green, this home works in harmony. Modern, and obviously, very fun, it might not be the biggest, but it certainly uses the space it has well. Move easily from the kitchen to the lounge, with a cup of freshly-brewed coffee in hand, to sink into the gorgeous, plush velvet sofa. Here you can catch up on series, finish the crime thriller you’ve been reading, or lean back to practice mindfulness.

Deep within the Somerset countryside — halfway between Bristol and Bath — lies this pair of converted barns that will provide the most bucolic of countryside getaways. The first has been redesigned to be the living quarters with a whitewashed interior, orbicular hanging lights and a huge collection of house plants — not to mention a wood-burning stove for chillier evenings. Walk out through the huge glass doors and you'll see the second barn, which holds the en-suite bedrooms. The space in between these two buildings has been lovingly tended to, too. Out here, you'll find a stone hot tub built into the lawn, as well as two separate seating areas surrounded by plant beds where you can relax amid dappled Somerset sunshine. On warm days, head out for a walk in the neighbouring valley, which has a private arboretum to visit. It takes just over an hour to reach the top of Kelston Round Hill, which offers sweeping views. Alternatively, you can drive to the centre of Bath in under half an hour.

For a refreshing rural escape with a spa-like touch, this cottage provides the answer. You’ll have access to a shared swimming pool, hot tub and sauna. There are beautiful views across the Somerset countryside and there’s a private enclosed courtyard. Inside, the rooms are well suited to families with a cosy living room and a wood burning fire. And while this is the perfect spot to switch off and relax, you’ll also find plenty to explore in the surroundings – Bristol and Bath are a short drive away, while Weston-super-Mare is also within easy reach.

Enjoy an unforgettable stay in this gem of an apartment within an imposing 19th-century townhouse in Bristol's upmarket Redland area. Fabulously furnished, with two comfortable king-sized bedrooms, rainfall showers and a rolltop bath, you'll be delighted to return home after a long day exploring.

Your hosts have carefully preserved the building's Victorian features while creating a gorgeous apartment fit for modern living.

Step out into the leafy residential streets and find yourself a few minutes' walk from charming cafes and trendy restaurants lining Whiteladies Road. At the same time, the independent boutiques of Gloucester Road are less than a mile away.

Situated in the small village of Bitton, this family home is a peaceful retreat in the countryside. The private outdoor terrace and dining area are ideal for socialising and sunset watching, while the hot tub is perfect to unwind in after a long day walking across the countryside. Location-wise, both Bath and Bristol are just a short drive away but if you’d prefer to stay at home, your host provides access to their horse riding stables and treatment room.

If you're looking for a classic country cottage – call the search off. With its idyllic walled garden and a luxury interior, this Grade II listed home is the perfect romantic retreat – just the ideal place to spend quality time with loved ones. Host Aisha has lovingly decorated this place with distinguished collectables and antiques, including the wonderful wardrobe in the master bedroom. Watch the sun set over the Somerset hills from the lush grounds – we love the stunning views from here. Later, relax in the hot tub or have a soak in the gorgeous slipper bath. When you're ready to venture out, the Georgian splendour of Bath is a twenty-minute drive away. Spend the day exploring the Royal Crescent, the Circus and the Roman Baths, as well as the many museums such as the Jane Austen Centre. Then unwind at the Thermae Bath Spa with its roof-top pool. For a more relaxed pace, there's a pub and café for lunch in Timsbury, around a five-minute stroll. Or put on your hiking boots and explore the glorious Somerset countryside.

Set within a magnificent riverside terrace on Bath’s sought-after Grade II listed Norfolk Crescent, this luminous first-floor apartment is set to swish you into a world of Regency class and glamour. Provided the ultimate Bath experience in this prestigious address, you and your pooch (that's right, this home is pet-friendly) can step back in time to an era of refinement while enjoying 21st-century comforts. 

Take in sweeping views of the landmark crescent from the living room’s floor-to-ceiling sash windows, as you tuck into the provided breakfast at the sunny kitchen table. Period pieces in the main room and bedroom create a decadent impression fit for royalty – the elegant fireplace is a particular highlight – while the bathroom’s roll-top tub beckons long, relaxing soaks with a glass of bubbly after a day of seeing the sights. 

Speaking of exploring, you’re just a twelve-minute walk from the Roman Baths, and an eight-minute stroll from the Jane Austen Centre, while the Royal Crescent is nine minutes away on foot. Here, you can enjoy the benefits of having the city on your doorstep while being cloaked in peace and dignity.
