“A Super B&B!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

This attractive b&b is located in a quiet residential area less than a minute's drive from the centre of Portishead.

We had two rooms for our stay: a twin with en-suite shower and a double with en-suite bath. Both rooms were spotlessly clean, stylishly decorated (the double recently refurbished in pretty shades of blue) and both had television, tea/coffee making facilites. The en-suite facilities came with robes and a nice selection of toiletries (quite unusual for b&bs, in my experience).

There was a good selection for breakfast: cereals, yoghurts (nice quality), toast, juice, stewed fruits and hot breakfast cooked to order. Alot better than many hotels!

And the star of the b&b: Kate! What a delightful, charming and helpful lady! She gave us precise directions to the b&b and places in the vicinity, as the sat nav in the rental car had given up the ghost and we had no roadmap with us. And we had some interesting and enjoyable conversations with her during our stay.

Thank you Kate, for a most enjoyable stay in your beautiful house!

“Yet again, superb”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

I have been to this B&B previously and frankly it just gets better...!!!
(even though it was superb in the first place...!)
I have stayed at many so called hotels in my time that fall well short of this place to stays standards and GREAT VALUE for money...

I cannot fault anything whatsoever, whether its Kates warm & welcoming hospitality, her cleaning or her cooking...!

MY only criticism is that its usually booked up whenever I plan to visit, but I am VERY happy to arrange MY visit & schedule around Kates & 'Avon View' availability...

Having found this wonderful B&B I would NOT dream of going elsewhere now...!

Room Tip: Having used two separate rooms ( twin-énsuite) & at separate times previously, I find the VFM an...

We enjoyed our long stay here so much and now look on the proprietor as a friend. We would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the Portishead area. We would be very sorry if we couldn't stay there on our next visit. Thankyou Kate and Sylvia

“Supporting a friend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2011

My visit was not for business or leisure. With a friend, I came to Portishead to attend the funeral of another friend's mother [a grand woman, God bless her - long time Portishead resident] and needed somewhere to stay. The welcome & comfort of Kate's wonderful B&B made the visit a pleasure. I can only find positives about my stay and when/if I ever journey to this part of the world again, I will want to stay here. A difficult time made easier. What more can one say? Simply the best B&B one could hope for. Thank you Kate.
