GUEST REVIEW
"Magnificent Clifton house with best views in the country (possibly the world) across Avon Gorge. Comfortable, civilised, beautifully furnished (not a trace of Ikea) quiet, sunny, lovely breakfast, brilliant location, charming hosts who know everything there is to know about Bristol. Amazed they ever have space, particularly given the pretty china, home made cake and decanter of sherry in every room." Oct 24
