This is the second time I've stopped here as my family lives close by. Each time I have stopped the rooms have been lovely, well presented and very clean. They used to do an amazing breakfast but now they do a very overpriced and underwhelming breakfast. Don't buy the breakfast, prepare your own in the kitchen. It is clean and... More

I booked most of my family into the base for a long weekend as we celebrated a family part locally. The owners were very helpful and flexible with our bookings as people changed their minds with regard to where and how long they wanted to stay. Everybody thought the base was clean and nice. There was slight disappointment about not... More

We stayed here for two nights. Excellent value, Kingsize supercomfy bed, stripped floors, lovely ensuite and very quiet even though this place is on a busy main road (we were at the back of the house). Fantastic food within walking reach - Moroccan and Turkish restaurants were both awesome. There is a lovely quirky atmpshere - you pick up your... More

I booked The Base for a long weekend getaway to come and visit my boyfriend and didn't really know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised as the room was large and airy with a comfortable bed, spacious bright bathroom and all necessary facilities provided such as linens, towels, hairdryer and refreshments. I did not take the optional breakfast so... More

Ignore the bad reviews, the Base is excellent and served our purposes perfectly. This was our second visit and we found everything as quirky and clean as before. No noticeable road noise at the front on a Friday night as there is double glazing. The only disappointment was to find that the wonderful veggie breakfasts are no longer available unless... More

The Base B&B is a great place to stay. Its rather quirky (in a nice way), excellent value, a very good standard and easy to get to. You get your keys from a wall safe at the front door and receive the combination via text. Stayed there for 3 weeks and can recommend it. More

I've just spent two nights in room 8 and I found everything exactly as I would have wished - perfect location for visiting family and for taking buses into the city centre. I was able to last all day [including a lot of walking] on the veggie fry-up breakfasts and will definitely return; I've recommended it to my relatives for... More

My rooms was very basic quite depressing with cheap furniture more suited to contractors than tourists. Great breakfast room with friendly staff that cooked a great meal. The area has no pubs that I would drink in. Went to the local shop for wine but they didnt sell any! Shop mainly frequented by street drinkers oneof which pursued me down... More

Hello Unverified Tripadvisor Reviewer, We have basic rooms for low budgets, and better rooms for high budgets. Not all shops sell wine, but our short and sweet Guest Information sheet in the rooms tells you where the supermarkets and local shops etc are. I suspect you tried the shop directly across the road for wine, but I hope you managed... More

I have stayed here a few times this year in different rooms for nights out in Bristol with friends, and would definitely recommend coming here again because the staff are friendly, rooms are immaculate and nicely decorated and they are also great value for money. The location is not bad either although it is not in the city centre, it... More
