Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Bristol

We didn't live there as the tenancy fell through at the last minute, so we never moved in.

The house is situated in a fantastic area, 5 minutes walk from Gloucester Road with all its Pubs, Shops and Restaurants. The area is vibrant and diverse, regularly hosting arts and social events. The house is also a short cycle from the town centre and the Downs, Ikea and Big Tesco. You can get to open fields along the motorway by taking an alleyway off Muller Road behind the house and only a short walk to St Werburghs with its Farm Pub, City Farm, Community Garden, allotments and Festivals. A fantastic area which also has brilliant public transport including busses into town, UWE and Cribbs as well as being in relatively close proximity to Montpelier Station.

There was not much in the area apart from a convenience shop and one hungry horse pub. North Street, Lidl and Victoria Park are all within walking distance, but it's still quite far to go. The area didn't feel very safe, and when my dad visited he had his spare tyre stolen from our driveway after leaving it unattended for about 20 minutes.

A lovely quiet street full of friendly neighbours, and a very safe community feel. North Street with shops, pubs, restaurants and the Tobacco Factory theatre just down the road. A park nearby, and a short walk in to town.

Gloucester Road and surrounding area is great - independent shops, fun nightlife, parks, intersting creative p

We got this house for the area and wouldn't have lived there the 8 months had we not been close to all of Gloucester Road.

Henleaze is a nice little place with a bustling highstreet. Great green grocers and butchers nearby. Only thing I would say is that my car did get broken into when parked outside the flat and the police did say this is quite common in this area.

Westbury village is a lovely area and has lots of little pubs and cafes. Clifton is only a 30 minute walk away across the Downs and I used to easily walk into work in the centre in 50 mins.

Great, very close to southmead hospital, lies on a very lively road, close to gloucuster road and to town. Highly recommended location to live in

Nice neighbourhood, good access to town, lots of parks nearby, lots of culture, good local shops and pubs.
