Been staying at this place whilst working in Bristol, and it is great - warm, clean, and all the usual mod-cons. It is set-up as a self catering affair, with a large kitchen to use with most things you'd expect, and private rooms, most ensuite, others not. The owners seem very friendly and helpful, and made booking large periods easy... More

A really cute and cosy bed and breakfast. Everything had been well thought of, the room was lovely and well decorated. The bed was really comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean! The kitchen is lovely and the self catering aspect is a great idea :) it was in a good location and easy to find. I was a bit gutted... More

The Base is a fantastic self-contained place to stay. The room (room 8) was simply and tastefully decorated with some homely touches and spotlessly clean. Modern bathroom and powerful HOT shower. The shared kitchens had lots of facilities (including toys for children and high chair) and again nice touches which made the whole place seem very welcoming. Having no hosts... More

If you have a car (hired) , the location is very well. It was very cold these days and the rooms are not very pleasant warm. A big minus point is that Jacqui nor Fiaz were present to answer some questions or remarks. For example , my friend had another room and he had it very cold during trying to... More

There is a sign in all rooms advising how to control the heating, it appeared you had not done this. It also contains our phone number. We even had a chat during your stay where you didn't give us the opportunity to make it right. The keycode was not sent to you in this occasion as you had arrived 3... More

Stayed for 4 nights at the Base when working away from home in Bristol. I really liked it, and plan to stay next time I'm working in Bristol. Clean, quiet, large room. Best thing was the really big well equiped kitchen - made working away from home much better.

We had an ideal experience at the Base. We stayed in room 4 which is ground level and faces the rear of the property which made it quiet. The room is a great size with a fab ensuite with 2 sinks! The only downfall was that the shower was too hot and we couldn't figure out how to turn the... More

Sorry about the shower control, it wasn't you, looks like the knob is getting a bit stiff, I'm seeing to it. The oven is being sorted too, good job there are 2 on that cooker. Grateful for your positive review, considering. - Fiaz More

Myself and 12 other girls just got back from spending 3 days here on a hen weekend and we had the best time ever!!!

It really was a pleasure having you all, although next time I'd rather you served the cake in the kitchen ;-) There's a new page on our website thebase.vg for Group Bookings which shows the self contained units where groups don't have to worry about disturbing other guests (and vice versa!) More

I have stayed at The Base a few times and I love the everything about it. The Base is unique, in that it offers good quality rooms at affordable prices, which are clean and well decorated and there is a huge kitchen to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner. In addition it is pretty quirky, with letters discovered from previous owners... More

Yes, the Lidl and Morrisons are soon to be joined by a new Aldi too, which is opening soon. But closer than all of these is the "International Food Centre" run by very friendly Turks.
