Sunny Peterson Hall, is hands down the best student accommodation I have resided in. Shayne and Wendy are lovely, nothing is ever too much trouble. Always make me and my flatmates so welcome. The feeling of being safe in a clean welcoming environment really is refreshing. The location is perfect for uni, walks, bars, and restaurants. Everything is on the doorstep. Knowing I can rely on coming home to a happy friendly place is definitely up there with how much I appreciate living here. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Can't recommend this place and it's staff enough *****

I am currently staying at Mansion Student, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The rooms were not only spacious and well-furnished but also meticulously clean, creating a comfortable living environment. The staff members were incredibly friendly and always willing to assist with any inquiries or issues. Additionally, the location was perfect, with easy access to campus and nearby amenities. Overall, I highly recommend this accommodation to any student looking for a convenient, safe, and enjoyable place to live during their studies.

The property is located very close to the University of Leeds and has a lot of food options available at a walk of mere 5 minutes. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Tracy. She is a sweetheart! You can go to her for any issue and it will be resolved immediately. A nice and safe place to live.
Resident, Woodhouse Flats, Leeds

Stayed here for 3 years running, the staff are excellent and the amount you get for the money is amazing. The en-suite is sizeable and the whole room area has plenty of space and storage. The kitchen is spacious with plenty of cupboards and bench space. It is close enough to town and Northumbria Uni where you can walk with no issue, the accom faces the quayside. Overall, a positive place to live with many benefits.
Resident, Mansion Tyne, Newcastle

I rebooked to stay here, and I must say the change in management has been a game-changer. The new manager has truly gone above and beyond to make the experience exceptionally smooth. One of the standout improvements is the fantastic new refurbishment. The flats now have a modern look that's aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. The location is incredibly ideal and convenient. I look forward to my continued stay.
