"After booking a course at UWE, I needed accommodation that met certain criteria: affordable pricing (the course was expensive), parking availability (to avoid lugging equipment on the train), Wifi access (for Yelp reviews), and proximity to local restaurants. After a unsuccessful search, I asked UWE for recommendations and they suggested the Greenhouse BnB. While slightly more expensive than I had budgeted for, it was conveniently close to the university, offered free parking and Wifi, and was near the harbor area. The website showcased beautifully decorated rooms and promised organic, fair trade breakfast. I quickly inquired via email and was fortunate to secure the last available room for my required dates. Fran, the owner, was very helpful with my queries about the area and getting to UWE. Upon arriving from London, I found the Greenhouse, although parking was a bit tight. Fran warmly welcomed me at my scheduled arrival time, showed me around, and made me feel at home immediately. She even introduced me to other guests, one of whom was also attending my course. My double room (for single occupancy) had an ensuite bathroom, TV, tea/coffee facilities, and a desk. The entire Greenhouse was elegantly decorated, with a lounge area and a TV leading to the breakfast room. There was also a peaceful garden where guests could relax. Overall, I had a pleasant week at the Greenhouse, feeling like a home away from home. I highly recommend staying here when in Bristol."

"As we ventured into San Carlos in Birmingham for a delightful family birthday lunch, the atmosphere was alive with anticipation. The restaurant 's elegant yet comfortable setting was the perfect stage for our midday culinary adventure. The lunch was headlined by the 'pizza of wonder ', an extraordinary creation that reimagined the classic pizza. With its impeccably charred crust and a medley of exquisite toppings, each bite was a symphony of flavours, making it much more than just a pizza it was a celebration of gastronomic artistry. Next came the rib eye steak, which was the epitome of 'melt in the mouth '. Cooked to perfection, it was a tender, flavour packed delight that tantalised our taste buds. It wasn 't just a dish; it was an ode to the sublime joys of well prepared meat. The lasagne, staying true to its Italian heritage, was a culinary masterpiece. Its layers of al dente pasta, rich ragu, and silky bechamel sauce combined to create a dish that was both comforting and sophisticated. This lasagne was a charming mix of rustic and refined, capturing the essence of Italian comfort food. Then there was the chicken in white wine sauce, an absolute sensation. The chicken, tender and succulent, was bathed in a heavenly sauce that was both light and richly flavoured. It was a dish that showcased the perfect balance of ingredients, each mouthful a testament to the chef 's skill in harnessing and elevating simple flavours to create something truly memorable. Amidst this feast, the staff of San Carlos were the unsung heroes. Their attentive and genuine service added a layer of warmth to the dining experience, making us feel both valued and well looked after. The meal culminated with a Tiramisu that was a dream come true for the connoisseurs among us. It was an impeccable mix of coffee, mascarpone, and cocoa, a dessert that spoke of Italian elegance and indulgence. In summary, San Carlos in Birmingham is more than just a restaurant; it’s a midday retreat into the world of fine Italian dining. From the mesmerising pizza to the sensational chicken in white wine sauce, and the unrivalled Tiramisu, each dish is a testament to the beauty and depth of Italian cuisine. For a memorable lunch experience, San Carlos is a beacon of culinary excellence."
