Duel-of-Bristol House is in the heart of Bristol's Old City, next to the last remaining parts of the city wall.
Other things to note Duel of Bristol House is a Grade II listed Georgian gem — her exterior steeped in history (the street is often used for filming thanks to its striking period charm), yet inside she’s been thoughtfully modernised for 21st-century comfort. One of the few places to stay in the area powered by air source heat pumps, she offers a warm and environmentally conscious welcome all year round.
She’s full of character and quirks, and if you treat her kindly, she’ll reward you with a memorable stay.
Nestled in the heart of Bristol’s Old City, right beside the last remnants of the medieval city walls, she’s surrounded by a colourful tapestry of city life. From artisan coffee shops and creperies (one featured in Doctor Who) to boutique hotels and buzzing bars, the street hums with the energy of locals and travellers alike.
You’ll fall asleep and wake to the rhythms of a neighbourhood that doesn’t just whisper history — it lives it.
My husband and I fell into hosting accidentally when we were trying to buy a home with an annexe that could allow us to take care of our elderly parents. Sadly they got too frail for us to have them live with us so we started hosting to help cover care costs. We managed to keep hold of our first home, and began hosting with it after learning the ropes with our annexe.
Our day jobs are actually running a social enterprise, tackling modern slavery and labour exploitation in supply chains (try saying that really fast!) but following the pandemic, the costs for our offices got too high to keep using them. Enter plan B: we transformed our tiny offices into a huge 6 bedroomed city centre home-from-home. We've poured our hearts and souls into making it as comfy and as eco-friendly as our budget could allow. Duel House is a work in progress but we hope you'll immediately see how unique and characterful she is.

Bristol's Old City is filled with charm, and Broad Street itself is often used in filming. Most recently we had Young Sherlock, but we've also had Christine Keeler through to Alex Ryder and Doctor Who gracing our fair and lovely corner of what is left of the Old Quarter. It has a walkscore of 100 (according to their site!) so everything you need is within walking distance.
