#LiveTheCothamLife

Call one of our serviced apartments in Cotham home and be just a short walk from some of our favourite things to do, see, eat, drink and shop…

Cotham has become in recent years one of the most popular places to live. Nestled not too far from Bristol University and bordering the thriving Cheltenham Road, it has made it a seriously aspirational neighbourhood.

Whether you are looking to explore the City, on business, or visiting friends or at Bristol University, Cotham is the perfect location to do it all.

The quiet suburb in Bristol is an ideal location for the modern traveller. It delivers peace and quiet, leafy surroundings, and lots of independent shops, bars, pubs and restaurants.

It is also only a mere 10-minute walk to the City Centre meaning you truly can really have your cake and eat it.
