Although obviously, my daughter's time has sadly been cut short in her lovely room at Oxford Point, the staff have been absolutely wonderful and so very helpful during this hideous time. Nothing has been too much trouble, and it was lovely meeting the team in person, having spoken on many occasions (it has also been incredibly hard for the staff at this time). We were so very pleased with the room, kitchen and communal areas in this accommodation. Thanks for everything again, and I would recommend staying in this lovely block.

Rooms are nicely set out, staff are great and always there to help and nothing is ever too much to ask. I like the social events that are put on. Noise is to be expected with many students but totally beats living in a run down shared house. Great location as has all bus routes to uni, close to town center and supermarket.
