    Being in the basement means light is very limited. Being next to the kitchen and a bathroom means it can be a bit noisy at times, but you do have the floor for yourself. Very limited storage.

    It's a good size and cosy but right on Emmanuel Rd, which is a bus route, although they stop overnight so during the night they don't disturb, although I wouldn't want to work in my room during the day. It is also above the kitchen so sometimes you can smell the food, and a little dark, but with the right lighting it is very confortable and convenient for college.

    This is a large, nicely decorated room overlooking Christ's pieces with some separation between a sitting area and a bedroom. The house is near college, the city centre and Grafton centre. Disadvs of the room are noise from buses and distance from kitchen.

    Very good room, biggest in the house. It goes to the road, and there are exceptionately many bin lorries and other lorries that can be noisy in the morning, but otherwise fairly quiet. Wardrobe is a bit too small for girls, but the rest of the furnature is very good. Very close to one of the bathrooms, so lack of sink is no issue. The house has two bathrooms each with showers, one also with a toilett, and two separate toiletts. It has two kitchens, one quite small and thin one on the top (second) floor with hobs and oven, and one big one with a nice table in the basement, but it doesn't have hobs, just a combi-oven and a microwave. There is also a small garden with grass and place to put bikes, and the back door opens directly onto the Free Press.

    One of the smallest rooms in the house but lots of cupboard space and it looks out over the large garden. High ceilings and two windows but not a bay unlike lots of the rooms in this house. It's the only room the other side of the main kitchen and you have to walk back through the kitchen to get to the bathroom, though this is less of a nuisance as there is a sink. Close to the laundry though and it even has it's own front door!

    This room is lovely - it has sloping ceilings that I think are cosy but some people wouldn't like so much. The bathroom is shared by 3, and the kitchen is downstairs. The room can be a bit noisy with traffic, but is only grade 3 so is better value than others in the house.

    some might find the "noise" issue is "annoying" rather than "some", but that's your preference. All in all it's very close to college, but you're only living with three other people.

    Nice room:lotsa space. Great house with only 4 people in all. The only problem is that the room is on the ground floor looking out onto Parker street. The noise of the buses thundering by can get on your nerves sometime. Kitchen is a bit cramped but its next door to the college.

    Room is a good size, with good shelving space but limited wardrobe space. During the day, you can here English lessons from the house next door, and there is sometimes a little noise out the back. There is no traffic noise. There are 2 kitchens in the house, but no real communal area and only 1 shower between 7. As yet there is no washing machine (one is promised). Overall a good room and handy for Mill Road shops, station and swimming pool.

Some noise in daytime from language school. (House) Room 6 shares a small kitchen with room 7, with no cooker, just a hob. No freezer or washing machine in house. 1 shower between 7 people.

    Decent size. Reasonable location. Heavily blue-tac marked. The house is a bit dilapidated. Lack of laundry facilities closer than Glisson Road gets to be a pain. Fire door onto room 6 - if your neighbour is noisy (mine isn't) this may be an issue.

Quite spacious for the price of grade 2. Reasonable storage space. Right next to a clean washroom, sharing a kitchen and bathroom with people downstairs. Garden is lovely and useful to hold any party. I stayed there for 2 years.

    This is a nice room in a newly refurbished, clean house. There is a well-equipped kitchen with plenty of cupboard space but no table or chairs. This gives the house a rather antisocial touch even if there is a common room with four arm chairs and, again, no table on the first floor. Nice bathrooms and washing machine / dryer.

    The floor space is quite a lot, but the room is deceptively small with the sloping ceilings. Blantyre is kept clean and has lots of kitchens and bathrooms. Unfortunately the cooking facilities are basic- hobs and microwaves only. There is no running water on this floor, which is a bit irritating, but the room is fairly cheap.

    Cutter Ferry is generally great. The whole place is brand spanking new. Rooms 1, 2 and 3 are on the ground floor. They share a shower and very small kitchen which contains a fridge. Room 1 is front facing. Only one minor problem. College have recently fixed a rather bright light to the cycle shed which shines directly into the room all night! The house has a great big kitchen (with oven and table to seat at least 6) plus a laundry. Remember to put the bins out on Fridays!

    Generally, a nice room. But very noisy, due to traffic lights directly outside the window. Park Lodge as a whole is (and has been) vulnerable to intruders; this room is particularly vulnerable in that it is on the ground floor and easily accessible from the outside. After three break-ins in the last year, college as kindly installed some extra outside lighting. Last point, radiator (even after college maintenance attended to it!) doesn't work.

    This is a reasonably small room but perfectly adequate with a desk, chest of drawers, wardrobe, bed, bedside table, two chairs and mini fridge. It is on a floor with three other people who share a bathroom and a large kitchen. The room is at the front of the house so there is noise from traffic.
    12 ? 5 no no some 1 OK L 2007
    This is a great room. It is the largest room in the house and shares a bathroom with 3 other rooms on the floor. There is a large walk in closet with hanging space and shelves. Two large windows look out on Parker's Piece, and the only downside is there is some noise from bus traffic down Parkside. Plenty of room for a bed, two desks, dresser, sofa, two chairs, and a mini fridge etc. Kitchen is a bit small for all the people in the house and the whole house could do with some upgrading and a frsh coat of paint, but by and large a very good room.

    The room is long and narrow, and has a bathroom with a shower. The wallpaper is flowery, but it's not too bad. There can be slight problems with damp, especially when the bed is right up against the wall. This is probably because the extractor fan in the bathroom doesn't work. Central heating and regular airing of the room seems to prevent this. The road is noisy, lots of lorries and buses, and the curtains are a bit thin given that the sun rises directly opposite the window! But on the whole it's a nice room.

    Not a huge room but works well. Good sized fitted wardrobe with shelves. Chest of drawers, desk, bed, chair and bookshelf all fit in. Sink in room with ensuite. Shower is v good. Toilet does not always flush properly (college won't do anything about this as is 'functioning ok'). Overlook house on side but see white wall which reflects light in nicely and are not dierctly opposite one of their windows. Wallpaper is very pink but no garish pattern on it (a bonus for Suffolk House rooms)

    this room has a lovely view of the garden and is quite comfy. HOWEVER, the shower has no (and i mean NO) hot water pressure. this is a problem in suffolk, where all the bathrooms are en suite.
