Only been here for 5 months, but I absolutely love it. 5 mins walk from Northumbria (if that), and the staff is great; any problems or queries are responded to quickly, they are really nice. The rooms are great, and the fact that there is a washing machine in every flat that is included in the bills is brilliant. I’m definitely rebooking for next year!

I spent one and a half years at Barker House and loved my time there! The accommodation is just a 5-7 minute walk from Northumbria University and a couple of minutes away from Tesco Express, so it is really convenient for students. It is located in a quiet neighbourhood which is helpful for anyone who likes to study in silence. Rooms and living spaces are decently sized and well-maintained. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. They were quick to respond to any maintenance issue we had in the flat. Highly recommend Barker House for Northumbria students looking for a place to stay!
