Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Bishopston and Ashley Down, Bristol

Ashley down is now expensive to live in so when this came up I jumped on it. I love ashley down road and always will. The local co op is sky high so go to the tescos a mile up the road instead or even the new Lidl and home bargains etc and you will save massively. The pubs are generic and gentrified but the golden lion has character and is worth a bash as it seems to be the only live music pub in the area! There's a corner shop that I grew to love in the end. Open till 2am most nights. Takeaways wise the Southern fried chicken and pizza place ( opposite Sainsbury's) is the best for pizza, very very good pizza and cheap. Dominos is twice the price and not as good! There's a few chipys and there all stingy portions aside the posh one near Sainsbury's which gives a massive portion for like 8 quid. Avoid the maxin chicken place. All the Currys and Chinese places are medium average quality i dont reccomend. There's a veg shop that's the best in bristol and cheap also! I will miss living here literally the area has it all, there's no trouble at all

Great location close to Gloucester Road. A bit difficult to park at times. Good bus links makes it easy to get to town and North Bristol.

Lovely neighbourhood, great area with everything you could need around you at all times.

Not a bad area at all, the house is a joke being run by Alberto Scanu from Mainplay Limited

Too expensive rooms for such a bad conditions and not even in city center. Once you rent it avoid asking anything because you will be ignored and your money and deposit will be in bad hands, just have a look to other reviews in google

Ashley Down Road is a great place to live. The flat was on the main road and there's a pub close by. It's quite lively and sometimes a tad noisy, but it's close to Gloucester Road, shops, gym, college etc. Great location.

A great area in general, although as it's a main road it can be a bit dirty/litter-strewn. Has some convenient shops across the road. Close to Gloucester Road.

I love the area as it's so close to Gloucester Road and easy to get into town. The road itself is quite busy and noisy but that's what you get for living on a main road. The pub opposite could sometimes be noisy at closing but this was never past midnight.

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.

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.

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

Good but horrific agency Mainplay. The house should be private and not run by this joke agency

Everything you need is pretty much within a short walking distance, bus stop outside that goes into to town or to temple meads
