Stoke Gifford Retirement Village

Nice place to book for events. The only letdown is the absence of a kitchen area in the hall.

Very large residential home good facilities including shop hair dressers and restaurant seemed a friendly place

Seems like a nice place, very large residential home, good sized car park with shop, library, hair dressers, restaurant, and Laundry

Had a day working here. It looks like the retirees have a fantastic facility here, with a library, arts and crafts room, what appeared to be crèche, a bar and probably a lot more that I didn't see. All the old folks seemed to be really happy, which was great to see.

Wow! We were looking for a retirement home for mum with independent living and came across this little (although big in size) gem. Expensive - yes, but luckily Bristol house prices meant that it could be afforded. Mum deserved it, having worked hard all her 9+ decades bringing up a family! It has a gym, hair salon, arts and crafts room, bistro, bar, games room (with full size snooker table), large room with an electric mini grand piano on its stage, library, small shop and so on. A full programme of events . . . I could go on (and on!). 9 months on . . Mum still absolutely loves being here (she frequently says how lucky she is, living there - part of the reason is that she has a lovely outlook overlooking the small grassed (council) play park) with all the activities on offer and other facilities available - but she is a sociable person so makes good use of them as a way to meet with, and chat to, others. I noticed on one review that it said that the apartments are packed in but I disagree - the apartments themselves are spacious and the corridors are easily wide enough for two large mobility scooter to pass side-by-side, all adding to the sense of space . The biggest downside, I would say, is the lack of a lovely communal garden area where residents could sit outside in attractive surroundings.
