Cherry View House offers the perfect base for exploring the vibrant and diverse local area of Bristol. When you stay with us, you’re not just getting a cheap city break; you’re stepping into a neighbourhood filled with fantastic parks, a thriving independent food and drink scene, and excellent transport links that place the whole city and beyond within easy reach. Forget the car for a while and discover the charm of this corner of East Bristol.

Just a stone’s throw from your front door lies St George Park, a true Victorian gem. This family-friendly space is ideal for unwinding, with a large play area for children, a skatepark for the more adventurous, basket ball/football court, and tennis courts for a friendly match. Take a leisurely stroll around the picturesque lake, where you can watch swans glide by, or simply relax on the grass with a good book. There’s even a café kiosk for a coffee or ice cream on a sunny day.

For a more rugged, scenic escape, Troopers Hill Nature Reserve is a must-visit. With its unique geology and fascinating industrial past, the reserve offers spectacular views over the River Avon. Hike the hill to discover the old listed chimneys and rare heathland, and be rewarded with a panorama that shows Bristol’s beautiful landscape. For those preferring a flatter route, the adjacent Troopers Hill Field provides level access. The Friends of Troopers Hill, a dedicated volunteer group, offers a wealth of information for those keen to learn more about the area’s rich history.
