"It's a quiet neighbourhood with a sense of community. People are friendly and will say hello which makes it a really great place to live. We are close to amenities like a gym, park, shop, and easy access to the city centre with a bus stop at the top of the road. It's been really special to live here, particularly as it's where we got our puppy and spent years growing up with him there. He was friends with people in the neighbourhood and ruled the roost at the parks nearby!"

Living in Horfield
Bartholomews Square is a modern development largely completed in 2004, situated just off Gloucester Road, opposite Horfield Leisure Centre. Residents benefit from its proximity to many highly regarded independent shops, cafés and pubs. The Inn on the Green, The Drapers Arms micropub and the Bath Ales Pub, The Wellington, offer locals a good atmosphere and choice of food and drink. Local butchers MJ Dalton is nearby, famed for its traditional and exotic meats. For sports fans both The Memorial Stadium and The County Cricket Ground are within walking distance. The area benefits hugely from its proximity to major areas of employment, such as Southmead Hospital, Airbus and Rolls-Royce. Bartholomews Square is a highly convenient residence for anyone who needs regular access to these places, as well as to Bristol City Centre, a short journey down the A38. Despite holding its convenient position it is still very quiet in the flat, even with the balcony doors open.
