Furnished short term accommodation in Bristol

Where to stay while you wait for your next home

A gap between homes might mean three nights while you collect the keys or six weeks while a kitchen is rebuilt. Search furnished Bristol apartments for the whole stay with everyone who will be staying. For six weeks, check whether the same home is available throughout, what laundry facilities it has and whether you need to arrange cleaning during your stay.

For a few nights, a space to unload and somewhere to park may matter more. If your moving date could slip, compare the cancellation terms for your dates before choosing a rate.

Choose a base for the days you will actually spend here

If you are house hunting after starting a new job, choose a temporary base that works for both the commute and property viewings. Check the workplace route at the time you will travel, then consider how you will reach the areas where you want to live. A familiar city centre postcode is not always the most practical choice for a daily journey elsewhere.

For a family staying during building work, the school run, visits to your own home and room for everyday routines may matter more than being near the sights. Compare the individual property location and bedroom layout with those journeys before choosing.

If you will work from the accommodation, look at the actual workspace shown and whether you need somewhere separate for calls. For several weeks, laundry and a kitchen you will use every day deserve as much attention as the number of beds.

Our Bristol area guide compares central, Clifton, neighbourhood and countryside bases. Once you have chosen an area, check your complete date range and guest count to see which homes are available.

Choose the layout for everyday life

For one or two guests, the flat near Castle Park has a kitchen, washer dryer and lift access. For up to four, compare the Clifton Village apartment, which has two double bedrooms and laundry facilities. There are several flights of stairs to reach it and no lift.

For a larger household, the Emersons Green home sleeps six across three bedrooms and has a garden and driveway parking. Its beds are one king and two doubles. Read the sleeping arrangements as carefully as the total capacity, and check any accessibility needs with the team before booking.

Plan for belongings and vehicles

A furnished apartment does not automatically have space for the contents of another home. Contact the team before booking if you need to bring bulky belongings, several vehicles or a moving van. Check parking arrangements separately from unloading access. Our Bristol parking guide explains the differences between an included space and paid parking nearby.

Bring the essentials for the stay and arrange separate storage where needed. Do not assume the property can receive furniture deliveries or hold belongings before arrival or after departure.

Keep uncertain dates manageable

Say you expect to move in six weeks, but the keys might be ready in three. Compare the full six week stay with a shorter booking before you choose. For the full stay, check what the rate allows if you leave early and which nights you would still pay for. For the shorter stay, ask what an extension would cost and what happens if someone else books the following week. An extension depends on availability at the time.

If you need one address throughout, check the apartment for your whole date range. If your dates are still moving, contact the team with the earliest and latest dates you may need. Ask separately about changing the booking before arrival and shortening it once you are there.

Compare the whole cost

Allow for any overlap with your existing home, parking and storage as well as the accommodation total. Compare a home’s cooking, laundry and workspace facilities with what you will use during the stay.

Check Bristol dates and prices, or contact the team if you need help comparing suitable homes. If the move is for a work assignment, our Bristol work stay guide also covers choosing around a workplace and travelling team.
