I only spent one night but I fell in love with the place; and with the sweet old pair who run it, who reminded me of retired theatre actors from a bygone age. The man of the house serves breakfast like a dear old family butler, and the rooms in this fine Georgian Bristol town house are full of character.... More

i stayed here while my daughter was having her baby at st. michaels, it was convenient, only a ' stones throw' away from the hospital which was ideal,, found my way around for conveniences e.g the precinct, shops, tescos ect,, the lodge itself was great, it wasn't 5 star but it was everythin that i needed, a lovely size room...

My girlfriend and I stayed for roughly a month in the Toad Lodge while looking for a flat in Bristol. Although I had booked an ensuite room, we were given one without its own bathroom. We did not know then how long we were going to stay there at first (that depended on how lucky we were on the flat... More

I chose Toad Lodge based on a convenient location and a competitive price. The reviews online were definitely mixed, though, so I was a little concerned when I arrived that I might be in for a bumpy ride. But Toad Lodge was *great*. The room was freshly redone and very clean; beds comfortable; garden gorgeous; (outdoor) cats charming; clean towels... More

I stayed at Toad Lodge for a period of 3 months when I first came to work in Bristol several years ago. I loved it immediately. It is a beautiful house (if a little shabby) in a lovely area and the many toad decorations are just charming. Over the period of my stay I came to know the owners quite... More

First of all, when I booked my room on the phone for one night and was just asking whether there are more nights available, I wasn't treated nicely and was asked whether that I was still staying that night or not. Arriving at the place, a distinct smell of urine welcomed me and the lady who asked me to pay... More

We read mixed reviews about this place before we booked, but still went just to see what it would be like. Yes, the place and the owners are very eccentric, but that just adds to the place :) Toads EVERYWHERE ! ... even on the bedding :) Dont come here and expect Holiday Inn quality - its a small B&B,...

Toad lodge is different, very different from most hotels or B&Bs. I won't take up space describing its quirks, needless to say it's unlikely you've stayed anywhere like it. Pros: the price is excellent; parking is generally available; location is brilliant for uni/town; it's a break from the uniform drudgery of Travelodges. Cons: service could be better, seems to be...
