South Parade Mansions

Clifton is Bristol's most prestigious neighbourhood, and South Parade Mansions puts you within easy reach of its best features. The village itself—with independent shops, galleries and restaurants—is walkable. So are the cafés and bars dotted throughout the area. Bristol Zoo Gardens lies under a mile away, and Cabot Circus shopping centre is roughly the same distance. The cathedral and Bristol University are also close by.

The apartment spreads across three floors. The lower ground floor has a double bedroom with ensuite shower. On the ground floor, a kingsize bedroom, bathroom with bath and shower, and an open-plan living and kitchen space with patio doors onto a rear garden. The kitchen is properly equipped—gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, washing machine—so you can cook or keep things simple. A third bedroom on the first floor has two single beds that zip together to form a kingsize if needed. Gas central heating keeps things warm; wifi, bed linen and towels are all provided.

You get private parking for one car, plus garden access. One small dog is welcome. The property is non-smoking.
