From Dundry I returned to Bristol when at last it stopped raining. My next port of call was a 15-year-old house right on the dockside.

Security is good too, there's an electronic gate, numerous cameras and the burglar alarm system. A pleasant place to be, inside when it's raining and outside when it's not…   more »
