bristolcitysweden Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Scandinavian branch of the trust coming over for Wednesday. Nova Scotia was booked. Cumberland Guest House, 6 Clift House Road, an option but think read on here that city fans are running a b&b/hostel not far from AG. Anyone knows the name?

Red_Mat Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'm not sure about some of the B&Bs near the Gate - they're all a bit dodgy, if you ask me. Most of them seem to be used as over-night stops for the homeless and those who've just been released from jail... If I were you, I'd go a little further afield and try some of the nicer parts of the City; Redland or Clifton for example, which both have a lot of B&Bs. They're both still within a reasonably good distance of the ground, but you'll get a much better stay and be better positioned to see the rest of Bristol.

Bawno Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 There's one opposite the riverside garden centre by greville smyth park. I think thats the cumberland. always looks presentable and always has vacancy signs in the window. Plus, i don't know about this halfway house for the homeless lark. Im born and bred in ashton and never heard that before. the only halfway house i know of is the one opposite hen and chicken in north street, and thats just closed down. dont know bout the roundhouse by the coopers arms either. that was a drug rehibilitation centre, god knows if it still is. but back to topic, the cumberland i think it is, always looks good and is a safe bet. if you venture into clifton your talking serious money for 1-2 nights.

bristolcitysweden Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Just looking for a quite bed close to AG. Standard means nothing. Have stayed at Down Views Guest House (Upper Belgravia Road) as well with family but to far off me think. Not much to rob & just over to watch football. Please name b&b/hostels for us.

Nogbad the Bad Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Sorry, Sheffield W. Name us a decent B&B. If you were looking at the Nova Scotia, how about another Inn - the Angel Inn, Long Ashton? Decent enough little pub about 10 -15 minutes walk from the Gate.

Also got pace enough to beat most people Don't tell people who live in Upper Belgrave Road that it's been renamed "Upper Belgravia Road", or they'll all be off to the estate agents in the morning. I know estate agents are not immune from marketing hype, but "Belgravia" pushes it too far. Let's just stick with "Lower Clifton" (Southville) shall we? Anyway, welcome to Brizzle.

Well there's a B&B at 40, Morley Road, another at 55, Osborne Rd, and a 3rd, 'White House Guest Rooms', 28-30 Dean Lane. Can't personally recommend any of them, but I expect they're all 'OK', and again 10-15 minutes walk from AG. http://www.bedandbreakfast-directory.co.uk.../co-Bristol.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better off with the good honest people of Southville. Agree. After dark at this time of year, Whiteladies Road is mainly frequented by sloshed Hooray Henry freshers, new to Bristol University. Some of them think it's a merry jape to put parking cones on top of cars. Others prefer to throw up on the pavement, or look more lost than they do in daylight hours. The more established students return to reclaim the streets and hostelries they think are there exclusively for them. Yeah, we just love 'em.

Did anyone follow that? Felt just like trying to decipher a bit of Shakespeare the night before an exam. Goodnight Sweden (I'll have a pint of whatever that was).
