About the Property
Welcome to Polhill Park, A fantastic student accommodation located inside the University of Bedfordshire campus. You can roll out of bed to get to your morning lectures as late as you wish. The property is only a 20-minute walk away from the centre of town so in your free time get ready to explore all that Bedford has to offer.
There are a variety of modern rooms to pick from, which offer a lovely view of the campus surroundings and its green spaces. In our spacious apartments you’ll share with other like minded students and have a fully furnished living and kitchen area to socialise in. If you’re keen to have more space to yourself then choose one of our studio rooms. It comes with a cosy bed and a fully equipped kitchen including a hob, oven, fridge freezer and a breakfast bar. You’ll have the perfect set-up for when you invite some friends over for the evening!
Each en-suite room features a comfy bed with storage underneath so you can keep your belongings packed away, along with a desk space and chair for studying at home.
If our room choices are not enough to tempt you, then our large common space just might. Within our dedicated social area, you’ll find pool tables, ping pong tables and a TV for you to get competitive in a game with your friends or meet new people. Head outside and relax in our courtyard area when the weather’s nice, or when you’re just feeling like some fresh air. Our on-site gym is free to use and is open 24/7 so you can work out whenever you see fit!
Due to its campus location, you’ll find the University of Bedfordshire student union bar, The Hub, right on your doorstep. It's the place to go to take a break from your studies, play table tennis, socialise and watch live sports games on the TV’s.
When you make your way off campus, you’ll find several restaurants and cafes where you can grab a bite to eat and a drink. Venture off into the vibrant town centre in under 20 minutes or if you’re a big walker, why not take a walk at Bowhill Park or Priory Country Park? Both green spaces are within walking distance from the accommodation and offer a great place for a stroll, with friends or solo!
