Bristol city scout

We've taken over Kid & Coe's instagram!

A few weeks ago, we were asked by the very cool Kid & Coe to share a few of our favourite spots in Bristol. Kid & Coe is a bit like Airbnb but they are very selective with the homes that they feature and each of them is not only stylish but also super family-friendly and is equipped with cribs, toys, books, high chairs, etc. Here are some of our favourite spots in our hometown Bristol.

We're setting the bar high for this week's #takeovertuesday. One of our favorite photographer/artists and all around bon vivant, @vivyapp , is taking us on a tour of her hometown, Bristol, England. Voted the "best place to live in England" by @thesundaytimestravel three out of the past four years, it's easy to see why this "small big city" is a must-visit for families in the new year. #kidandcoe #bringthekids #bristol 📷 @vivyapp @vivyapp_photography

"Hello I’m Viv, an art director, photographer, illustrator and mother of two boys. Three years ago my husband and I left our little flat in London (having been there for over a decade) and moved to the vibrant city of Bristol with our young family. We love how quirky and arty this city is but at the same time so close to the beautiful countryside as well." #kidandcoe #kidandcoecityscout #takeovertuesday #bristol 📷: @vivyapp, @vivyapp_photography

"First things first, brunch. We like to head to Katie and Kim’s kitchen at Montpellier for their bacon on sourdough with greens, aioli, date chutney and tarragon oil. Mmm, and a flat white. That’s how you start a day." #kidandcoe #kidandcoecityscout #takeovertuesday #bristol 📷: @vivyapp, @vivyapp_photography

"The boys like their eggs on toasted cheese scones at Katie and Kims Kitchen. Obviously, all washed down with a babyccino." #kidandcoe #kidandcoecityscout #takeovertuesday #bristol 📷: @vivyapp, @vivyapp_photography

"Bristol is famous for its graffiti and as we walk down the road to Stokes Croft, you can spot a lot of @Banksy’s early work. (This isn’t Banksy, but the boys love this quirky mural on this door.)" #kidandcoe #kidandcoecityscout #takeovertuesday #bristol 📷: @vivyapp, @vivyapp_photography

"Let’s head down to the harbourside, shall we? We love the Arnolfini, a contemporary art gallery in the heart of Bristol. They recently had a very interesting Grayson Perry exhibition on, but let’s face it, the boys just love running around this massive space. We also love sitting outside @arnolfiniarts for some boat watching in the summer." #kidandcoe #kidandcoecityscout #takeovertuesday #bristol 📷: @vivyapp, @vivyapp_photography

"While in Clifton, I always pop into @paper_smiths, my favourite shop in Bristol. They sell gorgeous paper goods, quality magazines and books, and if you’re a paper addict like me you’re in heaven. My boys love the children’s book corner and they also enjoy rearranging all the coloured pens and pencils too (sorry @paper_smiths!)." #kidandcoe #kidandcoecityscout #takeovertuesday #bristol 📷: @vivyapp, @vivyapp_photography

"We end the day with a treat for everyone at @annacakecouture, a beautiful cake shop selling delicious cakes and macarons. They do cake flights which are cakes in small cube sizes so that you can share with friends and family and try a few more different flavours. My boys love their macarons, although we’re still working on their sharing capabilities!" #kidandcoe #kidandcoecityscout #takeovertuesday #bristol 📷: @vivyapp, @vivyapp_photography
