I absolutely adored my time here! I had the pleasure of meeting some of my closest friends and I can't find a single fault with this place. The staff and security were exceptional, making me feel safe and welcome at all times. It's conveniently located just a 10-minute walk to town and a 15-minute stroll to the beach. The university shuttle runs every 20 minutes, making it super easy to get there and back, with the bus stop conveniently situated right next to Home Park. Additionally, there's a Tesco and Co-op just an 8-minute walk away, as well as an Asda and Lidl 10-15 minutes away. I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend my first year!

Home Park Biography

Bournemouth University’s Lansdowne Campus is just a two-minute walk away and there is a bus to the Talbot Campus every four minutes. With local shops, the beach, and the train station all within a ten-minute walk, it really does offer the ideal location for students in Bournemouth.
Whether you choose a studio or an en-suite room in a cluster flat, which you can share with friends, you can rest assured that all rooms offer stylish interiors and comfy furnishings. Home Park also has secure bike storage, on-site laundry facilities and high-speed WiFi throughout the building.
When it comes to taking a break from university work, there’s a large communal lounge with a TV, lots of comfy seating, and a games area to chill out in with mates. However, if you do need to focus on your university work, there’s also a quiet study room for residents to use any time of the day.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Perfect place for both local and international students. Great location, great facilities, clean and tidy place. Includes a Gym, which is very good. Everything like supermarkets, train station, coach station, is in walking distance. Good internet and Wi-Fi. Friendly staff. Everything is well looked after. Rent may be little bit high, if it can be reduced it would be great

My time at homepark so far has been amazing, the facilities are unreal, the space we have access to is spot on and the staff are nothing but lovely. The staff are always to hand if anyone is having any issues with mental health I’ve experienced it first hand when one of the staff came to my flat to check up on me and to see if I was okay, (yes she was instructed by the uni, but she was nothing but caring kind and understanding about my circumstances). The staff also take care in how they deal with us students, even when conflict happens they are always professional in how they deal with problems. They always have a smile on their faces and brighten up your day when you’re not quite feeling okay. They seem less like staff and more like friends in their friendly approach. The cleaners are thorough and pay attention to each detail. The social spaces are always spotless. As a designer I feel it’s important to work in a nice environment… homepark is my home, and I wouldn’t change anything.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are very pleased to hear you've found our team members to be caring and helpful during your time living with us. It’s wonderful to know so many aspects of our accommodation have positively impacted your university experience. We really appreciate the incredible feedback. Many thanks - Student Roost
Home Park exceeded all my expectations for student accommodation. The facilities are modern, clean, and well-maintained, creating a comfortable living environment. The receptionist, whose warm demeanor and helpful attitude made every interaction a pleasure, truly adds a personal touch to the experience. From the spacious rooms to the convenient location, Home Park provides everything a student needs for a successful academic and social life. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch place to live during their university years
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate this valuable feedback. It’s wonderful to know you’re enjoying everything our accommodation has to offer our residents. Many thanks – Student Roost
where do I even begin... they don't call it HOME park for nothing! It really does feel like a home away from home. From the moment you walk in and are greeted my Jade and Emily's smiling faces you know you are welcome. When I was moving in they were super helpful and answered any questions I had. Also all of the different decorations for the various holidays (Valentine's Day, easter etc) are adorable and such a nice touch. Easy to collect mail and the receptionists are always down for a chat about life. They care about the students and it shows! Great location, no complaints. Close to beach, train station, grocery store, and bus to go to school. There's also a cinema, gym, ping pong table, and activity room. It's great. The staff are also super chill about parties and as long as they don't get too rowdy let them go on. Kitchen is great although there could be way more fridge space but now I'm just getting picky. Overall the people who run it are superstars and it's a nice place to live

Welcoming stay, staff is willing to help with anything
I’ve really enjoyed my time at Home Park. Would recommend
Any problems often take a few days to be fixed, even if it’s an emergency
General cleanliness isn't great, and the property manager doesn't always come. But a nice modern accommodation with lots of space.
Really good Wi-Fi, rooms are lovely Double beds has gym and cinema room good social spaces
I have lived here for my first year at AUB. It's situated in a great location. The staff are very helpful and the beach is just 10 mins walk away.
- ground floor: all old appliances/mattresses sofas dumped outside by windows. A lot of rats and smoking area, noisy at night. - have to ask staff multiple times in person to get anything done, sometimes rude depending on who you talk to. - good location and decent sized rooms, but maintenance takes a while and often turn up unannounced, or give you a date/time and don’t turn up. - room wasn’t very clean when I turned up, left it cleaner than I found it. - doesn’t feel very safe, doors left open most of the time and only one locked door to get through. - quite overpriced for what you get, best part is location. (Good bus links/supermarket & train station)
Clean, good value for money, helpful staff
The accommodation was really nice
Price, room design & size, location, facility were all superb to me. Most of the staff were very lovely and helpful except for this one staff who was always kind of rude to me for no reason. I don't know their name, but I guess it doesn't really matter. I did a lot of online shopping, which means the staff always get to keep my parcels and I often visited the receptionist to get my parcels. Every time I asked this one staff for my parcels (when they are on the receptionist) they always looked annoyed as if they were judging me for having too many parcels?! I mean, what's wrong with that? Isn't that your job to give me my parcels? Geez. I understand they probably are having a bad day or maybe it's just their attitude/personality? But you shouldn't do that to a resident. It's rude and it's giving me the impression that you don't like me, and I don't even know what I've done wrong. I'm not bashing, just giving an honest review & experience. I hope you can improve on that.
My first year at university was spent in home park since most of the time we were in lockdown. I cannot express how grateful I am to have come here. I meet people that I am taking for life and also living with next year, and the staff helped me through my darkest times. They helped me when I had no hope. And for that I am eternally grateful. I highly recommend home park and all its lovely people and environment.
The staff in Home Park is so lovely!
Thank you for your review! It's always great to hear such nice things about our wonderful team :) Have a great summer!
The room is very tidy and neat, modern design. Kitchen and social space is great, common room is comfortable along with pool table and comfy couches. The staff are exceptional, really friendly and helpful. Overall it’s a great experience to stay here
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are delighted that you have enjoyed your stay at Home Park, and that our team has been able to make your experience even better! Best of luck with everything, and enjoy your summer!
Not so great experience this year. When I moved in, the kitchen was extremely dirty from a resident living there all summer through till after I arrived. I arrived 3 weeks before most students did, so there was no reason to put me in a flat with someone as many other flats were empty. When I booked the accommodation with my friends, the manager told us we could request particular details for a flat (i.e. number of flatmates, flat number, floor number etc). We did this, and ended up with the complete opposite... When I tried to do something about the dirty kitchen, the manager was extremely rude to me and refused to believe that there were flies everywhere in the kitchen and made a big scene in front of the rest of her staff about coming to visit the flat. There have been many unsafe incidents this year (hiring dodgy security staff who entered flats & studios for no reason). I would recommend HP only due to the convenient location, large rooms & the 2 staff members that were kind to me.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are grateful for your feedback and happy that you enjoyed the positive aspects mentioned, such as our convenient location, spacious bedrooms and our lovely members of staff, who are always here to help! :) However, we are sorry to hear that not everything met with your expectations. We always do our best to accommodate our customers special booking requests and understand that some customers might have a preference of floor number or outlook. We do explain to customers at the point of booking that whilst we always do our best to accommodate as many of these as we can, they can’t be guaranteed, and we are really sorry that we were not able to meet all of your requests this time. We are also sorry about the issues you experienced with the cleanliness of your kitchen when you arrived in September last year. We are proud of our high standards of cleanliness here at Home Park and ensure all accommodation is professionally deep-cleaned and checked ahead of arrival. It was disappointing to learn that your flat-mate made a mess after it had been cleaned and that this impacted on your arrival experience. We know that we apologised for this at the time and offered to reclean everything for you but please accept our sincere apologies again. Home Park is staffed 24/7 by our own friendly customer service team. Occasionally, we do use the services of a highly reputable third-party local security company. We want to assure you that whilst our use of “security guards” is infrequent, the guards are always vetted and checked before they work with us. Thank you again for your feedback, please be assured we will use it to make improvements to our service and we wish you all the best and hope you enjoy your summer.
Good social experience and very nice rooms, can’t ask for much more from a uni accommodation. All staff are helpful, particularly Paula who helped my transition to halls by making it easier and an enjoyable experience.
It is always such a pleasure to receive nice comments about the team, so thank you for your kind words, I will be sure to pass this on. We are delighted you had such a positive experience and wish you the best of luck for next year.
Really helpful and friendly staff, highly recommend!
Thank you for your positive review. It makes us happy to know that you have enjoyed your time with us and that you would reccommend us to other students. Thank you and we hope you have a lovely summer.
It’s great overall, the cleanliness outside of the flat could be better.
Thank you for your feedback, its good to hear you have had an overall positive experience living with us. Thank you also for the feedback regarding the cleanliness outside your flat, we do have a full time housekeeper who cleans the common areas daily to keep them fresh and tidy. The area immediately outside of your flat is cleaned weekly and we acknowledge how this area could quickly get dirty again, especially with people using the corridors. Please be assured that we will use your feedback to make improvments to our service and hope you have a lovely summer.
The staff are genuinely lovely and have made me want to repeat the year just so that I can stay here again! I am planning on getting "Home Park" tattooed on me because this place has changed my life.
It has been our pleasure looking after you this past year and really appreciate you taking the time to share your positive feedback. The most important thing to the site team is that you feel safe, supported and "at home" whilst living with us and it makes us so happy to hear that you're happy. We wish the best of luck for the rest of yur university life and can't wait to see photos of the Home Park ink :-)
The staff here are amazing they are always here to help when you need it, my stay here has been brilliant couldn’t thank them enough for everything
We really do appreciate you taking the time to leave us such a positive review and are delighted you have had a brilliant stay with us. On behalf of the whole site team, we hope you have a fabulous summer.
Home park has been amazing. I have been given so much independence whilst living here and had my privacy completely respected. The staff have been so helpful and I’ve never had problems with noise within the building. The only problems I have experienced is with the showers constantly getting blocked up and overflowing.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us. We are delighted to hear that you have enjoyed your stay with us and that you found the team helpful. We are are sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with your shower trap gettng blocked. We have a wonderful Caretaker on site every day who responds quickly to any maintennace requests that arise so I trust he was able to help you with your shower at the time. Once again, thank you for going out of your way to leave us a review, it is much appreciated. We hope you have a lovely summer and wish you all the best for your studies next year.
The staff are really friendly and if you’re having a problem ( like I had as a student nurse) they make sure to check up to see if you’re alright and will always talk to you no matter what. It’s been a good year here and I will miss the staff.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are delighted you have enjoyed living with us and thought we were a friendly bunch. So glad you had a good year and we will certainly miss you too. Hope you have a lovely summer and good luck for next year.
I have been there ,it was every a clean place and the staff was very helpful. I had a great experience
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are very happy you have enjoyed your time with us and found the team helpful, knowing you have had a great expereince is important to us. We will be sure to pass your lovely comment about how clean the building is to our housekeeper, she will be delighted to hear this. Enjoy your summer and good luck for your studys next year.
Great accommodation. There isn't anything to fault really - location good, staff helpful, affordable, facilities good.
Thank you for your review, we are delighted to hear you have enjoyed living at Home Park and found the facilities, location and staff good. We wish you the best of luck for your studies next year and hope you have a smashing summer.

I will pass your kind comment about the efficient repair service to our caretaker, he will be very pleased to hear this. On behalf of the whole team at Home Park we wish you a wonderful summer and the best of luck for your studies next year.
Home Park and student Roost have helped me so much during this pandemic! All of the staff is lovely and they support you with everything! Rooms are cozy and nice and the locations is near everything (supermarkets). I would totally recommend living in Home Park! :)
Thank you for your review. we are pleased to hear you have enjoyed your stay with us. We know it has been a challenging year for you and the rest of our students and it's so good to know that you felt supported by us. It certainly makes us smile to hear about your cozy room and how much you enjoyed the great location. Thanks again for choosing Student Roost and we wish you an amazing summer.
really nice accommodations, staff are great and friendly
Thank you for your 5 star review! The team take great pride in providing the best experience they can. On behalf of the whole team at Home Park we wish you a wonderful summer and the best of luck with your studies next year!
First year experience at Home Park was amazing, honestly loved spending my first year in bournemouth in such an amazing environment with such amazing staff, defo recommend!
We're happy to hear you had a fantastic time living with us at Home Park. The first year of university can be quite daunting can't it so it's relly important to feel safe and supported where you live. We're happy to have helped make your first year amazing. Good luck for next year - you've got this!
I lived at my parents during the time i was at aub
Don’t be fooled by previous good reviews. Where do I even start? The staff are useless and really don’t care about you. Begrudgingly give your parcels or reply to important emails. Make you feel like an inconvenience. Want somewhere clean to live? Don’t live here. 2 hoovers for hundreds of flats, corridors always manky. Things stolen and nothing done about it. Very expensive for the small room you get. Residents allowed to ruin flats and nothing is done. The noise... well that’s made worse because of the paper thin walls, meaning whenever a door is shut anywhere in the building it makes your room shake. If you’re unfortunate enough to end up living here, good luck. You’re going to need it.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It's always hard to learn that one of our customers has had a disappointing experience at Home Park. Please rest assured that our team is always working hard to deliver the best customer service possible. We are always grateful for our customers' feedback since it helps us improve our services and better understand our residents' needs. Regarding the cleanliness of our accommodation, our housekeeper works very hard to keep the common areas clean and tidy at all times. However, sometimes these areas can become untidy within a few hours our housekeeper's attention, which is why they are attended to daily. Finally, we have a night owl team who perform regular patrols during their shift to make sure that there are no noise disturbances or any other type of antisocial behavior taking place during the night, and you can always contact them with any concerns by calling directly to reception or on our emergency number, which you can get by visiting us anytime. For any further feedback, please do not hesitate to contact us or visiting us in reception. Kind regards, The Home Park Team
The staff here are honestly a joke. Three people have had bikes stolen because the gate has been broken since September and the staff have said it’s their own fault because the gate is unlocked, they are so rude and think just because it’s a student halls they can speak to you however you like. There are two hoovers for over a thousand flats and they are always obviously taken. They really just do not care.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We want you to feel comfortable sharing good or bad news with us. I'm so sorry to hear that your stay with us fell short of expectations. We have used your feedback to make some important changes; I’m pleased to say that we have improved the speed in which we get specialist equipment repaired, such as the side gate you have mentioned. Because Home Park is a self-catered accommodation, customers generally provide their own cleaning equipment but we do recognise that not everyone can or wants to do that and so we have some vacuum cleaners which can be borrowed from reception. We appreciate how frustrating it is when you find all of the vacuums are out on loan when you need one. We have taken your feedback on board and have ordered a few more to make things better.
I ended up being transferred to Home Park but I wish I had picked it from the start. in a strange way, the name is oddly correct as Home Park really felt like a home away from home. the people I met here shaped me into who I am today and because of the environment plus how chill the building is on a whole, it's easy to make a spark a connection with anyone in this place. the staff really look out for you to giving out any help or advice they can or they'll even come out and have a smoke with you so you can have a chat. you'll normally see Natalie on the front desk giving everyone smiles if you're lucky (shes pretty good at that).
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this glowing review with our team! We love hearing how much you enjoyed your time with us. It’s wonderful to know we had such a positive impact on your university experience and that you found our staff team to be warm and friendly. We know that university students coming to Bournemouth have many choices when it comes to accommodation and it means the world to us that you put your trust in Student Roost and chose to live at Home Park. Thank you again and we hope you’ll stay with us again in the future
Staying at Home Park was a great decision for me. At first I was sceptical because I was worried about leaving everything I knew, but Home Parks team made the stay amazing. Lovely rooms with lovely staff members that make walking in and around the building feel like home. Always greeted when you walk in. The location was perfect for someone like me as we had everything around us in walking distance. We have a total of 4 supermarkets near us and the beach is so close you can walk it no problem. I myself have enjoyed my first year so much that I have already rebooked my room for next year. Lovely environment and lovely people. Well worth the price.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! It’s really important to us that residents feel “at home” here. We’re delighted you have enjoyed your stay and that Home Park offers good value for money. We look forward to seeing you again next year and we’ll be sure to give you a wave as you walk through the building.
Amazing place to stay although probably would get more for your money in other halls as Homepark has no gym
Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Although we don't have a gym on-site, we do offer value with our communal spaces: a social lounge, study room and active social calendar. All the best!
Homepark is the place to be! Receptionist and staff are very nice and welcoming. So far it’s been a pleasure staying here. The location is very good as it’s walking distance to restaurants, clubs and the beach!
Thank you for the great review. We are thrilled you are enjoying living with us and that you find the staff and location to be good. Remember, you can book for next year too, we'd love you to stay for another year! Thanks again
Absolutely adored being here so far, five weeks today and my experience is going well so far! The staff that work here are friendly and are so helpful. The placement of the building is in the right area for whatever you need, I mean spoons is basically a two minute walk away and who doesn’t love that?? Asda is nearby as well making it easier for you to do your shopping. The layout of your flat is also spacious and perfect. Love it love it love it
Wow! Thank you for such a lovely 5 star review. The team really do try and do their best for residents, there's always someone on hand to help you, 24/7 and the social activities are designed to help residents meet new people and make friends. We're taking bookings for next year now, so if you'd like to stay for another year (and who wouldnt!) then you can either book online or pop in and see the team in the offce. Oh and yes we agree..... gotta love a "Spoons"!
Amazing place to stay, near everything but you do not get much included e.g. no mop, no kettle, no toaster.
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We're so happy you like living at Home Park and you find the location convenient. We don't include kettles and toasters, just because we have found that many students like to bring their own (beleive us no flat needs 6 kettles :-)) As for mops and buckets, if you'd like to you can borrow these from reception, along with vacuum cleaners. Thanks again for the review - much appreciated x
Home park is modern and clean as it is a new building, some of the door handle are broken and sometimes the lifts Are broken but are fixed promptly. My shower leaked but maintenance came and quickly fixed it. When it is raining the windows leak water on the floor which other people have told me they experience too which is annoying. The facilities are very good and the room and kitchen is lovely and the communal room is awesome.
Hi and thank you taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased you enjoy the facilities and that you find the accommodation to be clean and modern. We are also pleased that our in-house maintenance team have been able to quickly sort your shower out - we try very hard to respond to maintenance issues as soon as they are reported to us. We are really sorry to ready about the problems with your window though, do you think would be able to pop along t reception so we can take a note of your room number, we'd really like to look into it for you straightaway - or you can email us home.park@studentroost.co.uk
I have loved every minute of being here, it makes leaving home less of an awful experience because you feel welcomed and relaxed here, there’s a lovely team who look after you and I feel very safe as there is always a security guard and they too are very friendly. The location is perfect as there are three different supermarkets within close walking distance and the beach is very close too! I’ve been very happy here for my first year!
We are deligted you enjoyed your stay with us and that you felt safe in your "home-away-from-home". Really hope you'll come and stay with us again soon.
Home Park is pretty great as far as halls go. In terms of the expected problems and traumas that supposedly occur in halls accomodation, I didn't really experience anything like that and my stay at Home Park has been great, I plan to stay again next year infact. The good: AMAZING fire alarm system. The flats alarms are individually triggered until they have being going for a certain amount of time, At which point the whole building is evacuated. Needless to say we have had 1 evacuation for the entire year and it wasn't in the middle of the night. As far as halls go, I'd say that's outstanding. The bad: Random liquids / food / other things do regularly show up in the elevators, for whatever reason it's ALWAYS the elevators that are an absolute state and never clean. Really, These should be looked at DAILY. People are dirty and while unfortunate this should really be an expected thing at this point and not just something people have to put up with.
Thank you for your review, it's great to hear that you have loved living with us so much that you are interested in booking for another year! We have taken your comments on board regarding the lifts, we do have cleaners every day but will certainly use your feedback to see where improvments can be made. Thanks again for taking the time to write you reveiw.
Best accommodation for BU students BY FAR! Lovely rooms and amazing location, walking distance to all shops and clubs and right next to 4/5 bus stops into uni and to the beach. Reception staff are lovely
Hello and thanks for the review, it is great to hear you have loved your time living with us and that you found the location super convenient. We are very proud of the accommodation we offer and are delighted you were impressed with the standard of the rooms at Home Park and really hope you will come and live with us again.
The staff at home park are wonderful, always have a smile on their faces and are more than happy to help with anything. This is one of the nicest student accommodations I have ever seen, so new and clean. The bathroom is definitely a highlight compared to others. Everyone is very social here and there is always some pres you can join. Location is perfect for all nightlife in bournemouth and with the convenience of Asda, cooperative and Tesco all less than a 5 minute walk away. Would definitely recommend to any student
Hi there, thank you for the glowing review - it always makes us smile to hear how much our residents have enjoyed living at Home Park. Be sure to come and live with us again, we'd be deligted to have you for another year :-) x
Honestly I loved living at Home Park, I'm so sad to have to leave. The beds are very comfortable, there is loads of storage and desk space. The bathroom is one of the largest I've seen in student accommodation, the shower is much bigger than most. The reception team are very helpful and there are security guards at all times who are happy to help when you forget your fob. Overall I would highly recommend.
Hello, thank you for the lovely review and that you reccomend living here. When we designed Home Park, bed size and comfort were high on the list of priorities, all our beds are 4ft doubles, the mattresses are super comfy and we even include a free mattress topper. Our shower rooms are indeed spacious, with a good sized shower, plenty of storage and an enormous mirror which is back-lit and perfect for getting ready in front of. Don't be sad though, residents can stay for the whole of their degree if they want and you don't have to move out after the first year - why would you want to live anywhere else! :-) x Thanks again for the review and we hope to have you back again soon x
The location of this accomodation couldn't be better, walking distance from everywhere you need to go. Thoroughly recommend Home Park, the social life is excellent. Rooms and Kitchens are nicely designed and i would stay here again.
Lovely rooms, lovely layout overall, however the walls (as with any accommodation) are not as sound proofed as they could be and management like to be on your case about the pettiest things. Besides that, if you're not loud, don't mind a bit of noise and like to keep your kitchen literally spotless, then you shouldn't have any run ins with home park reception (really just one person). Fast wifi is also a plus, a good amount of plugs and pretty comfy beds. Plus you get to tell everyone you live in home park (currently the nicest accommodation)
Great new accommodation with all you could ever need. The bedrooms and bathrooms have all new fixtures and fittings and the beds are very comfortable. Kitchens are spacious and sofas are comfortable. The staff are also really lovely and do all they can to help you.
Nice and new accommodation. Rooms have everything you need in them and the kitchen/front room are spacious and well equipt. The front of house staff are a super friendly and caring bunch that will do nearly anything to make your stay here better.
Excellent facilities both in the flats and in social spaces, staff couldn't be friendlier, 24 hour security which makes me feel safe, the cleaner is constantly working in the communal areas and is very friendly, any maintenance problems are sorted very quickly and there is literally everything you need in walking distance... uni, Asda, co-op, Tesco, train station, bus routes, bars, clubs, shops, doctor's... Everything. Thoroughly recommend, I've already booked for next year.

Really good stay, Home Park is absolutely close to the university, making it the ideal choice of transportation without paying a dime.
Great halls with large spaces. Rooms are comfy and spacious. Study and social spaces are also of a great size with friendly staff despite the halls being a bit overpriced.
Thank you for leaving a review for us x
