Stylish house that accommodates groups of up to 10 and located in Stokes Croft, the city’s most ‘hip and happening’ neighbourhood!
The higgihaus@cheltenhamlane (#3b) is a beautifully appointed, stylish, and brand spanking new contemporary 3-storey townhouse located in a hidden no-through lane in Stokes Croft, the city’s most ‘hip and happening’ neighbourhood! The location is truly awesome with a good slug of Bristol’s best restaurants, bars, pubs & coffee shops right on the doorstep. So if you’re after hip nightlife, fiercely independent traders, awesome street art and a truly bohemian vibe then this is where you want to be.
The kitchen/diner on the ground floor contains everything a budding Gordon Ramsey and team of sous-chefs might conceivably need to cater for the hungry hordes. The tables, benches and stools can comfortably accommodate up to 10 diners.
The kitchen/diner opens onto a small, but perfectly formed private rear courtyard that contains a long outdoor table and a couple of benches on which to hang out with a beer (or glass of wine as you prefer). Close your eyes and let your imagination take over and you could almost be in Williamsburg, NY (well that might be pushing it, but you get the idea).
Between the sitting room and kitchen/diner, there's plenty of room for higgihausmates to get together, read, listen to music, watch TV (Freeview) or catch a movie (Netflix) on the two 55Inch 4K TV or just relax and unwind. The sofa bed in the sitting room is a comfortable double bed by night and a large sofa by day.
In the bedrooms, you'll find mattresses built for comfort, crisp cotton linens and a 40-inch internet-connected smart TV. Throw in the sofa-bed in the sitting room and a party of 9 can all be accommodated without having to share a bed. Alternatively, if two of you don’t mind sharing, then the higgihaus@cheltenhamlane (#3b) can accommodate 10.
In the three bathrooms, the rainfall showers stand ready to invigorate in anticipation of a hard day at work (or at leisure as the case may be). We've even included eco-friendly shampoo and body wash in case you forget to bring your own (or simply prefer to use ours). Should the shirt or blouse need a press before venturing out you will find a steam iron and ironing board in the kitchen.
The higgihaus@cheltenhamlane (#3b) is perfect for groups of friends visiting the city for an event or just looking for a comfortable, stylish and well-located house for a group of friends to get together, hang-out and experience the ‘best-of-Bristol’. At higgihaus, we're delighted to accept hen and stag parties subject to review and acceptance of the house rules. Please, however, do note that whilst we're delighted to host groups visiting the city, parties or events at the property are strictly forbidden.
The front door to the building has a keyless entry system and you will be given the entry code 24 hours prior to check-in.
The higgihaus@cheltenhamlane (#3b) is a self-contained house for your exclusive use during your stay in our awesome city. There is no need for you to interact with us but should you need anything we'd be delighted to help. #teamhiggi are a friendly bunch who love Bristol and it is worth noting that Luke (who was born in Bristol) knows it like the back of his hand (well the best bits anyway) and he and Delyth eat out a lot. Luke is thus a veritable goldmine of places to see, things to do, restaurants to eat at, bars worth a visit and how to get about. We'll provide contact numbers ahead of check-in (feel free to call and say hi).
The higgihaus@cheltenhamlane (#3b) sits in a hidden no-through lane and is a mere stone's throw from the Cheltenham and Gloucester Roads. Both are chock full of shops, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, pubs, supermarkets and all the transport options you’ll likely need when staying in our awesome city (including the train at Montpelier). Stokes Croft (famed for its street art) is a hop, skip and a jump away in one direction and the independent traders on the Gloucester Road (known locally as Bristol's Indie Shopping District) a couple of minutes in the other.
Transport
Transport options are numerous and include buses, taxis and the Montpelier train station just a short walk away. Buses are frequent and the Centre is only a few stops away. The train will get you access to Whiteladies Road by way of Montpelier Station (Clifton Down is two stops away). If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, and fancy a trip to Bath, then the train from Montpelier goes direct to Bristol Temple Meads (the city’s mainline station).
Parking
The higgihaus@cheltenhamlane (#3b) is right in the heart of the city and as such parking is always going to be a challenge. If you are coming by car then there’s space outside to drop your luggage before locating a parking space on one of the residential streets off the Cheltenham and Gloucester Roads. On-street parking is generally free on the weekends (watch out for those streets that are designated pay-to-park). Between the hours of 9.00 am and 5.00 pm Monday to Friday it is resident or pay-to-park only. Alternatively, Justpark .com has several nearby resident’s driveways that can be rented for the weekend. The nearest NCP car park is Bristol St James Barton which is about 5 minute-drive away and provides secure and overnight parking at a reasonable cost and can be booked in advance.
Check-in is anytime after 3PM and check out by 11AM.
