Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

I am a National Trust Member and having visited Blaise Hamlet many times in the past, I chose to visit with an elderly friend who had never visited the National Trust venue. I was extremely disappointed! Firstly, the gate to enter the Hamlet was broken and difficult to open. The pathway around the communal area was practically non existent. The communal area was untidy and unkempt and the individual gardens were mostly overgrown and neglected. Altogether a very disappointing experience.

Hidden gem, well worth 10 minutes of your time. Delightful architecture with some thatched cottages. Homes are occupied so just a little look around at the outside.

National Trust - free to the public to enter.
The cottages were originally built for servants of the Estate. Now modernised and are homes, so do not expect to go inside. There’s a peaceful atmosphere to soak up the beauty of the buildings.
There’s parking close to the entrance which is through a metal gate, easy to miss, just be observant walking along the wall/hedge.
A National Trust sign, which is in a triangle of grass on the B4057 close the Blaise Castle Estate, directs you down the one-way road. There’s a metal NT sign next to the gate.

This was the tenth National Trust property that we have visited in the last six months (further justifying the cost of our membership), and this one was just stunning!
Henbury is a district of Bristol, located about 5 miles north-west of the city centre out towards the Severn Estuary. It is the location of Blaise Castle. The castle, which dates back to the mid-18th century, and the 19th century mansion house, sit together in the extensive landscaped grounds of the Blaise Castle Estate (now owned by the Bristol City Council). On another day, maybe next summer, we do intend visit the castle and the house, but today it was all closed down for the winter. The mansion house encompasses a (mostly) art and costume museum.
We had not visited specifically to see the Blaise Castle Estate, but to visit Blaise Hamlet. The hamlet is a 19th century retirement development: having been built at the time that Napoleon had already suffered defeat at Waterloo, then escaped exile, and proceeded to regain the French Crown. In 1809 (three years before Trafalgar), when these 9 cottages were being built, Napoleon was defeating the Austrians to take Vienna.
Tha hamlet comprises of nine cottages encircling a central green (one cottage is a ‘double cottage’ with two residences). The cottages were built, by the Quaker, banker, and philanthropist John Sandrell Harford (who owned Blaise Castle and mansion) to provide accommodation to his retiring employees. These very picturesque cottages, designed by John Nash, are extremely well preserved, and are simply stunning in this setting. This almost secret hamlet is so at-odds with the newer local developments, but being surrounded by woodland and walls, it is so peaceful, and all-but invisible to the passing traffic.
The entrance is best approached on foot, and I strongly recommended you park in the village carpark, to avoid taking spaces that residents need to use. As you walk along the B4057 there is a turning into Castle Close, further down the hill there is a gate into the hamlet grounds with National Trust signage to confirm. Step-through, and you are turning back the clock by over 200 years.
You cannot enter any of the, mostly occupied, cottages; but you can walk around and look at them. Well worth the visit for us, as this is ‘living history’.

Just 6 miles north of the Bristol CBD, but found Blaise Hamlet difficult to find on a quiet Sunday. We could not not find any signage to this National Trust location, though I'm sure it must have been there. I had a voice in a TomTom telling me where to go, but the GPS is not alway right, as occurred on this occasion. Yes it was visually very English and we would had enjoyed more time to wander, but did not want to intrude on looking too hard, as residents live in the homes. Visually impressive.

Was a little bit hard to find, but so worth it! Beautiful houses that are currently occupied, we ran into a sweet old couple who showed us how to get in. They knew people who lived there and shared with us that no homes front door faces each other to give the upmost privacy within close quarters. Took some amazing pictures.

A set of designer cottages purposely built to look rural and cute. They are, but they are privately owned and although you can look at the outside, that's really it. Interesting to see, but not an afternoon out.
