5.0

Stayed here in my 3rd year and would love to have stayed again! My room was an attic room on the 4th floor and had a beautiful view of the whole of Lancaster. Spent some time each day with it fully open enjoying the fresh air and view. The kitchen had a balcony with a massive window which was great for light and fresh air. We also had a view of the castle. The staff were absolutely lovely and any issues we had (such as with showers or lighting) got resolved very quickly. The extra events they host year-round (Halloween, Christmas, petting zoo, BBQ, and others) made living here so much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend it.

5.0

This is an excellent student accommodation in terms of location as your locally renowned bars, restaurants and shopping centres are just a small distance away from here which is a great way for students to catch a much-deserved break. The University of Cumbria is also close by if you are someone who cares a lot about convenience issues.
