About the location

We are 5 minutes walk from a much loved 5 sided hilly park, St Andrew’s Park, which boasts a terrific children’s playground, a table tennis table and a wonderful independent cafe which serves hot and cold drinks, hot and cold sandwiches, gorgeous homemade cakes and ice creams, all at knockdown prices.
5 minutes in the other direction is Gloucester Rd, apparently the longest stretch of independent shops in the Uk. Delis, cafes, pubs, fantastic fishmongers and butchers, greengrocers as well as bijou shops, clothes, hairdressers, barbers etc.
Very good bus service to the main shopping centre, connecting to the quay, cinema, and going north up Park St and Whiteladies Rd where you have access to St George’s, Brandon Hill for music and to Museums and art galleries.
Montpelier railway station (10 mins walk away) can take you in to Bristol Temple Meads for trains country wide/ to the Airport or, in the other direction up to Clifton for other lovely shops, restaurants, the Brunel Suspension bridge, the observatory, the Downs and Leigh woods, Ashton Court etc...good walks and achievable from the front door ( a bit of a longer walk!).
There is a friendly community feel in this area, St Andrews, particularly. Our street is one way; still very heavy parking each side of the road, but at least no need for reversing for oncoming traffic.
We have a shepherd’s hut in woodland 1 and a half hrs drive away in south Herefordshire which can sleep a couple. It is equipped with a compost toilet and shower, a boiler, a 2 ring calor gas stove and a sink.
