Sunshine on the Parade

In the very heart of Bristol, this swanky apartment is a little haven of comfort and understated luxury. If you’re in Bristol for a city break, you’ll be pleased to hear the artisan stalls and street food outlets of charming St Nicholas Market are a ten-minute stroll away and there are plenty of swanky restaurants lining the waterfront just outside your front door. You’re also just a ten-minute walk from the main train station, so this place is ideal for those who want to explore the city on foot.

Inside, gold-trimmed stools at the breakfast bar and tufted velvet sofas in chestnut-brown are a plush look back at yesteryear. The slate-grey kitchen hides myriad mod cons for meals at home, and the living room has an wood-burning stove for a little cosiness. High double doors from the 19th century connect the living and dining room with the kitchen, creating an open-plan feel and corniced ceilings sit alongside modern sculptures for an eclectic feel. When it comes to bedtime, bedrooms are soothing spaces of crisp white and pops of botanica and birdlife, courtesy of fabulous prints on the walls.
