During my first year of university, I had an amazing time living in this residence. The place is ideal; it's only a short stroll from school, which makes attending lectures quite convenient. The rooms are spacious, contemporary, and furnished with all the necessities, such as a cosy bed, lots of storage, and an excellent area for studying. The common spaces, like as the kitchen and lounge, were excellent places to hang out with roommates because they were consistently kept clean and well-maintained. Some of the on-site amenities, including the study areas and laundry facility, were really helpful, and the common area was a terrific place to meet new people and socialise. When there were general questions or maintenance concerns, the staff was always accommodating and friendly. The lodging also seemed quite secure, with key card access and round-the-clock security. Overall, first year in this accommodation was very pleasant hence I will be staying there again for second year.

Thanks so much for the review and we are delighted you have made so many friends by utilising the social spaces and areas ithin your flat. Thank you for choosing us for your second year.
Great location, which is close to both university and city centre by either walking or bus.
Thank you - we love the location too. We're glad it is so convenint for you.
This is a great location for students at Lancaster university as this accommodation is a 15 minute walk to the main campus and great for medical students as the HIone building is right opposite! The building is safe and the reception security are very reliant for receiving parcels and for security reasons. The rooms have all that a student would need and the kitchen is nice and modern with great views of the lancaster countryside if you face west. The staff are good and managing the building and reply promptly to emails. The newly refurbished social spaces on the ground floor such as the living room and the movie theatre are well designed and good for having other friends over! Overall I’ve had a good student experience living in bailrigg and this will be my third year living here as it is so convenient.
Staying with us for three years is testamanet to how happy you have been at Bailrigg, so thank you. The countryside views is one of our favourite things about the location to, yet close to campus and an easy bus ride into teh city centre. Thank you for your review.
I had the pleasure of living at Bailrigg Student Living for two years, and I can confidently say it was an excellent experience. The rooms are of really high quality and incredibly spacious, offering a comfortable and inviting space to relax and study. The staff are fantastic—always friendly, approachable, and quick to assist with anything you need. Whether it was a maintenance issue or just a general inquiry, they were always on hand to help and got things sorted without any hassle. The common rooms are another highlight, consistently kept tidy and well-maintained. On the rare occasion when there was an issue, it was resolved quickly and efficiently. Overall, staying at Bailrigg Student Living has been an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality accommodation excellent service.
Thank you for staying with us for the past two years and we are delighted you had such a positiv experience and for sharing your views.
A great location for uni accommodation, everything is only a few minutes away and the management team are very flexible and helpful. Looking forward to stay again for my 2nd year in a row!
We are delighted you have chosen Bailrigg for a second year, it means a lot to us!
Have really enjoyed staying here for a year so far and I am looking forward to spending the rest of my degree years here. Location is perfect and the modern look is very appealing! 👍
We love our residents staying with us for more than one year - it really is testament to how happy you all are at Bailrigg. Thanks for a great review and for rebooking.
I cannot fault this accommodation !!! it is conveniently located, well managed and very safe. I feel very comfortable living here as I know the security staff are always happy to help at any time of the day and any problems within the flat are always efficiently managed by the site managers. The cinema room and game room are perfect social spaces that can be booked out for special occasions and the study room is a great space to focus when a change of scenery is required. The bedrooms are spacious and the kitchen/ living area is well designed and there is enough space for every flat member.
We love that you love Bailrigg as much as we do! We love t hear you are using all the social spaces as well - they were designed especially for our residents. Thank you for your lovely feedback.
I am about to live here for my 3rd year and have enjoyed my time here so far. All the staff are lovely and always willing to to help. The shared spaces are always a good space for breaks from work with good facilities to enjoy time off with friends.
We are so happy you have chosen us again, it is testament to how happy our residents are at Bailrigg and we will aim to give you an incredible third year with us.
An excellent location and a great accomodation building. Bailrigg Student Living is a safe and organized place to live just on the doorstep of Lancaster Uni. The managing team is very helpful and try their best to make everything comfortable for you.
Thank you for your review. We are delighted you enjoy living at Bailrigg so much.
I’ve lived her for two years now and I can’t say I’ve been disappointed. Everyone in the team have been understanding at times and enjoyable people to talk to. (Especially when I lose my key) - thanks George and Amy. Also a big thank you to the security team here, Mike and Irfan. They have been helpful plenty of times and always willing to have a conversation - even with all the patrolling they do they make time to get to know you and feel welcomed right away. I’ve shared plenty of laughs with them over time. Fun fact did you know Mike owns a bus stop 😂. Anyways enough of my rant! Just wanted to say thank you for being my university home these past two years it’s been fun and enjoyable seeing the site getting better and better each day.
We are delighted the team at Bailrigg have made you feel so at home - and thanks for sharing your fun fact...we must find out more! It is great you have spent two years living here, thank you for choosing us!
I've been living at Student Bailrigg Living for about two academic terms. It takes about 20 minutes of walking to get to campus and has access to a bus stop nearby. The rooms are quite nice and spacious and you also get access to a study room, recreational room and small gym (which is often too busy,) The staff members are very nice and will sort out any issues as quickly as possible. However, I am convinced there are no cleaners as the hallways and lifts remain dirty. Furthermore, there have been continual issues with showers being cold, earlier in the year, they were cold for at least a week straight and still occasionally are cold. The radiators are weird, they are either the hottest thing on the planet or completely bone cold, which makes controlling the temperature of your room quite difficult. Furthermore, if you're a light sleeper you might struggle to put up with the constant noises of cars going by on the road or the train. Plus the photos on the website are not real images.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are very pleased the location suits you for your studies and you are satisfied with the flat. We will certainly look into the water and heating issues as well as cleaning for you. However, please can I assure you the images on the website are indeed real - we had all the spaces dressed and photographed so students can see what the spaces look like.
Mike and Gurfan, exceptional security guards, are always friendly and helpful. George and Amy contribute significantly, ensuring a fantastic accommodation experience.
We are delighetd our team has made your time living at Bailrigg such a happy one.
For me, it was the best option for accommodation in Lancaster for my degree course and for my other needs.
That's great to hear and we are delighted to made Bailrigg your home.
Location is great since I’m not going to the city too often (1x a week) and mostly go to uni. Amenities are provided well enough, the laundry is also good (all machines working perfectly fine & it’s almost empty all the time so I don’t have to wait or race other people)
Thank you for your review - we are very happy you find Bailrigg to be a good home for you during your studies.
Apart from the management letting out the premise while it was still in construction, no repairs are carried out and the amenities are nothing as shown in the pictures on the website. Further, we were left with no heating during the winter months. To make matters worse, there are frequent water leaks and some of the tenants were left with no water in the bathrooms. I have had hot water in the shower just a few times. I mostly bathe at the university because of this. The gym floor is full of mud because the construction is still ongoing. None of the amenities are maintained.
I am sorry to hear you have been unhappy at Bailrigg. When we opened, we made it clear all of the construction wasn't complete and gave everyone who booked the opportunity to be released from the contract and find somewhere else to live. Those who chose to stay had a 50% discount off their rent for the first few months. Happily, we only have landscaping still ongoing which will be completed in Spring and all areas of the building are being fully used. Unfortunately a few residents were flushing items not suitable for flushing down the toilets whch blocked the waste pipes on the floor above and below them. Those who were impacted by this were given access to empty rooms to use the water in there whilst we carried out repairs. There are a small number of tenants still have issues with heating which we are looking into. We have cleaners on site attending to the communal areas and no maintenance issues. The common rooms are still to be decorated fully but the residents are enjoying using them in the meantime. We are available at reception if there is anything further you would like to discuss and report.
I signed up last year to contract and was told it would be ready by September 2021. It is still not ready in 2022 and gave us less than a month notice to find alternative accommodation I have left me having to pay out extra rent. I have put in a complaint but the manger just keeps fobbing me off and not sorting it. I would not recommended this company and would be very careful signing any contracts with them.
We are sorry you have experienced this and would urge you to get back in contact as we are proactively supporting the students who booked with us last year and have refunded everything. If there are still monies owed, we will happily rectify that with our accounts department.
The building… is a building site. It was supposed to be ready 6th September, it’s currently mid October and the residents are living in a hotel. They have no set date for when they’re moving in and there is no building manager anymore. They have been left alone.
We are sorry you feel like you have been left alone, that certainly wasn't our intention. The last year has been challenging and whilst progress was steady in the build process, the construction team had to overcome many obstacles. Just when we were so close, the latest obstacle means that regrettably, the building was not finished as early as previously anticipated. We acted quickly to offer a solution and rehome everyone into a hotel, communicate a rent discount and free laundry or agree to release you from your contract and refund your deposit - which you are still able to do. Bailrigg will be ready in the next few weeks and we can't wait to open the doors to students who choose to stay with us for this or next academic year. We are happy to give you a call to clarify anything you are unclear about from our email communications if you can contact us with a phone number. Sarah
