This is now my second year staying in Luneside and will definitely be staying again next year. Firstly, the staff are incredible, management are always up for talking to you when you walk past the office, very polite and up for a laugh, they are ready to help with any issues and help in any way they can. Next, maintenance, the maintenance guys are fab they are there to fix any issue ASAP usually within 24 hours and they themselves have a good laugh with you and try to get to know everyone. Luneside also provides with 24 hours on site secure, the security guys are always playing pool with the students and are helping if anything is needed. The rooms at Luneside are fantastic, they are big, have an en-suite, modern, big windows which most student accommodation doesn’t and finally amazing working and social spaces for students to use. Luneside is amazing value for money and I would highly recommend staying here if you are attending university in Lancaster! Chloe

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.

Thank you Chloe for the kind words we love that you have enjoyed your stay with us at Luneside. We really apreiciate your positie feedback it is always nice to hear that our residents are enjoying their stay here at Luneside. Kidn regards Accommodation Team
I’ve been living in Luneside for over three years now and have experienced both a shared flat and a premium studio. Both are finished to a high standard, well-designed and comfortable. The staff here are incredibly friendly and always willing to help—there’s always someone available when you need assistance. If you have a car, it’s perfect. The permit parking area has plenty of spaces, making it super convenient. For those without a car, the bus stop is right outside, making it really easy to get to uni or anywhere else. It’s only a 5-10 minute walk into town, so close but far enough away to avoid the noise from late-night outings. Currently, I have a room overlooking the river, and the view is fantastic. The floor-to-ceiling windows let in loads of natural light, which makes the space feel bright and airy. There’s also plenty of study space and communal areas for socialising, which are great when you want to step away from your flat or room. Would definitely recommend!
We have loved having you here at Luneside it has been a pleasure getting to know you over the years. It is so nice to hear positive feedback from our residents I will make sure your comments are passed on to the staff. Kind regards Accommodation Team
Emma and Kirsty are amazing they Accomdation is really great
Thank you for the kind words I will make sure these are passed on to the team. Kind Regards Accommodation Team
The accommodation staff are so lovely, they always say hi and ask if you need anything. The maintenance is not only attentive but friendly and they love a chat. For the price, I think the studios could include a kettle or/and toaster. The free gym and pool tables are great too. The area itself is brilliant, the bus stop outside means you can leave your room within minutes of the bus and also a 10 minute walk to the bus station, supermarket and town centre.
Thank you for taking the time to review Luneside we really appricate your feedback and are so happy to hear that you are happy here. We will take onboard your comments on the kettle/toasters being supplied in Studios as we are always lookign at ways to enhance the student experience. kidn regards The Accomodation Team
Luneside is great value for the price. Although it is a bit of a walk from cable street due to the one way system and the 4 bus stopping at 7 it is hard for people that take part of social activities and sports to get home in less than 40 mins.
Thank you for leaving a review on your experience so far at Luneside. If you have any suggestions for events on site we would love to here them as we are always looking at ways to bring people together on site. Kind regards The Accommodation Team.
Friendly staff and various facilities

Luneside is a perfect place for me to live. I feel safe in my accommodation due to the incredible level of security for getting in and around the buildings. The rooms are a perfect size and I love having an ensuite bathroom. Excellent quality for the price.
the staff is extremely helpful as they would respond immediately to any doubts such as maintenance, they are very quick. the location is just a 10 minute walk to sainsbury’s and the bus station, which is quite convenient. i would highly recommend to stay at luneside as everything is available here such as a laundry room, gym and even a cinema room.
Good value for the price. It’s newly built about 2-3years ago so everything is very new and clean! Water and electricity bill included which is a big plus for me! Staffs are super friendly and helpful too.
Best student accommodation in Lancaster. What makes it great is the staff. Kirsty, Emma, Kirsty, and in particular Warren, he is such a kind soul❤️

Thank you for your review, we miss all our residents when they leave as well. kind regards Accommodation Team
Luneside has by far been my favourite accommodation throughout my 3 years in Lancaster. It’s in a quiet location, close to town, affordable, clean, modern, and very calming. My friendship group live in 3 other similar halls in Lancaster, and we always meet at luneside because of how nice it is in comparison to the others. Alongside a beautiful room, there’s amenities such as a Gym, study area (with bookable rooms), pool and table tennis, cinema room, Nintendo switch, vending machines and private dining! In my two previous accommodations, I didn’t have the best experience with management - However, at Luneside, Kirsty, Emma, and Aimee have made my time here really nice; they’re friendly, approachable, and are quick with sorting out enquiries. Overall, I can’t fault luneside in any way! If I decide to take my masters in Lancaster, I will definitely be staying at luneside again. Thank you to all the staff for everything you do! - Raman 🤍
Thank you Raman for your kind words. It really means a lot to to the team who work hard to make Luneside a welcoming and safe place to live for everyone. If you do decide to do your masters in Lancaster we would love for you to stay with us again. kind regards Accommodation Team
Loved leaving here in my final year of uni!

Luneside is somewhere as soon as I applied to university, that I knew I wanted to live. The facilities, the staff/managers, the site security team, the accommodation, the communal spaces - all are incredible and I feel so unbelievably lucky to live here. Big thanks to Kirsty, Emma, Aimee, Dave & Warren 🩷 -Aimée

Thank you for your review we think the bus stop directly outside the accommodation is a definate plus to living at Luneside. We are happy you are enjoying your stay with us. From The Accommodation Team.
I have really enjoyed my time here. The study space is sometimes cold which would be my only complaint about the social areas. Best bathrooms out of all student accom i’ve stayed in really nice. Fridges are not the best quality but anything we’ve had a problem with has been fixed
Thank you for your review, we will make sure the social spaces are checked to ensure this doesnt happen again. We are happy that you are enjoying your stay with us at Luneside. From The Accommodation Team.
Really nice decorated rooms, staff are absolutely lovely! Bit expensive yes, but totally worth it
Thank you for yur review are happy that you are enjoying your stay with us at Luneside. From The Accommodation Team.
Luneside is certainly the best student accommodation in Lancaster. It is located a short walk from the city centre along the picturesque River Lune, so you are never far from the shops, but you are away from the noisy streets in town. There is also a bus stop just outside the accommodation that goes to the bus station and campus. The building itself is modern and clean, making it a great environment to be in. There are often events held within the social spaces, which provide the opportunity to get to know your neighbours. The rooms in Luneside are brilliant. I stayed in a standard ensuite in my first year, and am now staying in a standard studio for my third year. The rooms are also very modern and have a clean look, with large windows and a great amount of storage. The staff at Luneside are wonderful and always a joy to talk to. Maintenance is carried out quickly and issues are easy to report. Overall, I highly recommend Luneside and couldn't imagine a better place to stay for uni!
Hi Rian Thank you for your 5* review. We are so glad you came back to us for your 3rd year it is so nice to welcome returning residents back to Luneside every year. Let us know if you are doing your masters we would love to have you stay with us for longer. :) kind regards Luneside Accommodation team.
It’s a very nice and neat place to live. Not that far from city centre, and people are very accommodating too.
Security staff is the highlight of the accommodation they always make me feel safe and secure being here at all times and are very approachable and helpful. Please pass this feedback onto them and reward them for their work as I’m sure many others share this view.
Good place to live, happy with the place
Luneside student accommodation is in the perfect area, a short walk into town and the bus station (making it a short commute to university).
Enjoyed living here. Would recommend it! Great management (Kirsty & Emma) If you decide to book, mention Promo Code HARRYG and you’ll get special treatment. A*
Great staff, great spaces, amazing social spaces and an all round nice acrea

Luneside is great clean and modern accommodation!

Whilst the social spaces have been used limitedly this year I look forward to using them next year! Luneside staff are always so friendly and willing to help with anything!
Thank you for your review. We are glad that you are using the large spaces at Luneside to study. Don't forget if you want to book the private meeting rooms for group study sessions just ask at reception for more details.

Brand new student accommodation with top quality facilities and very friendly and supportive security/staff like mirza who has handled situations in a very professional manner.

Great Staff, and lovely team that makes everyone feel at home
Thank you for your review we really appreciate your feedback. It will enable other students to make an informed choice when they look to book their accommodation. kind regards Kirsty, Emma and Warren Luneside Accommodation Team
The Luneside Team go above and beyond for their tenants. My car broke down and handyman Warren sacrificed his lunch break to help me take off my old tire and put a new one on. Not to mention the accommodation managers; Kirsty and Emma, who always have an open channel of communication, where you will always be welcomed with smiles and a hello. I couldn’t ask for more from an accommodation team.
Thank you for your amazing review. We want every resident to feel like this is their home from home and all the Accommodation team are here to help with anything they might need. Glad you got your car up and running again :) kind regards Kirsty, Emma and Warren Luneside Accommodation Team
Super accommodating, the ladies (Kirsty and Emma) and all the security staff are so friendly. Build a rapport with all their tenants, very approachable. Lovely place, very modern & the location is unmatched.
Hi Madison Thank you so much for the 5* review. It really makes our day when we hear such lovely words. We are so glad you have enjoyed your stay with us and we are always here for you should you need us. Kind regards Kirsty, Emma and Warren Luneside Team
Great accommodation staff are great study areas are always clean and same with corridors, staff are really polite and always on hand for any help 24/7, after 5 security are always around for any help or for any issues. In a great location which isn’t far from the town centre and both bus route is outside for university route. Staying here again next year so everything is just great and staff have always helped me when I’ve needed it. Also perk is the gym and pool table nice area to socialise with friends. And the gym is a advantage as it comes along with the price you pay weekly which is great to save on membership fee at gym. Staff always give you welcoming smile and will always have a chat with you when you go to reception. Including maintenance and Cleaner. Big thanks to Warren.
Hi Thank you for your 5* review we are so glad you are staying with us again for next year. Your review will help other students learn what it is like to live at Luneside. I have passed on your thanks to Warren he is over the moon as we know he works hard to ensure any issues are resolved quickly and he is always there to have a chat or help out with anything you may ask of him. Kind regards Kirsty, Emma and Warren Luneside Accommodation Team
Staying at Luneside has been a wonderful experience. I have a great view of the quay, met some amazing people and the staff are so welcoming. As an international student, I love that it feels like home away home.
Thank you for your kind review it really is nice to hear that you view Luneside as your home. We are so happy that you like the view you have of the River Lune. If we can help you with anythign during your stay with us you only have to ask. kind regards Kirsty, Emma and Warrent Luneside Accommodation Team.
Great location, great facilities, and super friendly staff. Unfortunately not much chance for socialising this year but fingers crossed that can change soon!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. As we come out of lockdown more facilities are opening on site. The gym is now open and we are looking forward to welcoming residents to use the games area and private dining. kind regards Kirsty, Emma and Warren Luneside Accommodation team
Don't rent from here. I have been forced to pay full rent for an accommodation that I'm not living in, and I'm not alone in my situation. CRM students only care about money and will ditch you under the bus when they have the chance!
We are sorry that you have not been able to have the full experience of Luneside due to the global pandemic. We have been in touch with you regarding your concerns and believe these to be now resolved. As always we are here to answer any questions you may have, please get in touch if we can help in any way. Take care Kirsty, Emma and Warren Luneside Accommodation Team.
