I’ve booked the same room for 2 years now and love everything about it: size of rooms, how management deals with issues efficiently and effectively, and the amount of social areas provided to everyone.

It‘s a really nice place！pretty safe and really beautiful, everyone’s kind and friendly.
Really lovely staff. Great studio with lots of space and facilities. Everything is on site and easy to access. Clean and well explained.
Could have been cleaner when I first arrived as there was a build up of dust however staff, facilities and the location are amazing and I am so glad I chose here!
The most friendly of staff who are always there to make sure you have the best experience!
Quite pricey, for the money the rooms and kitchens aren’t amazing, but you’re paying for the the social spaces, and gym, things like that, so it’s not too bad
Amazing staff who take really good care of us and also interacts with all the students. Great atmosphere to study in and also great students.
Thank you for your review. The staff are great and always here to help. We are lucky to have such a great study space. Your Clifford House team
Clean and modern with good study and social spaces. Probably the nicest student accommodation in Exeter.
Thank you for your kind review. We try to be the best student accommodation in Exeter. We are very lucky to have such wonderful spaces. Your Clifford House team
So pleased with my overall experience at this accommodation since I arrived. All members of staff are extremely kind and welcoming. The property is very well maintained. Cannot say a bad word about it!
Thank you for your review. The staff will always do what they can to make you feel welcome and are always on hand to help. Your Clifford House Team
Really nice place to live, the staff are all really friendly and helpful. There’s a lot of opportunities to socialise and meet people in the building. one of the nicest student accommodation in Exeter imo, and good value for money
Thank you for your review. We are very happy to see you have been making the most of our wonderful spaces and meeting new people. Please keep an eye out for up and coming events. Your Clifford House team
Not only is the accommodation itself impeccable and great value, but the team of staff are also superb: friendly, welcoming and efficient- there really isn’t a better place to stay.
Thank you for your review. The staff are fantastic and we always welcome feedback. We are please to see you feel it's great value. Many thanks, Your Clifford House team
All you could want out of an accommodation. Far better than any of the university ones. Come here
Thank you very much for your reply. We hope your check in experience was a good one. We are glad you are enjoying your time here. Your Clifford House team
Highly recommend this accommodation
Thank you very much for your review. That is very kind of you to say, if you have any other feedback it would be greatly appricuated. Your Clifford House team
lovely modern building with lots of social spaces, study space is really helpful and will be missed when i leave next year. movie rooms are also really nice in the evenings. the staff are the best, always so lovely and chatty ! can’t comment on social aspect properly due to covid, but what i have experienced has been good despite the circumstances
Very friendly staff, there’s someone at reception 24/7. The social areas are lush, and it’s in a great location near town and both of the uni campuses. Would highly recommend this accomodation!
Very modern and clean, amazing social spaces (movie rooms, pool, table tennis, common room), and very kind and approachable staff.
Very nice place for a student. Met some great mates. Good location.
Really good accommodation for international students as you get to meet lots of different people from all over and it’s not just all year one students. Amazing staff that care about your well-being and good opportunities to socialise.
Such a good location, very easy to get to any shop and coop is right next to the gate!! The staff is very friendly and I’ve had no issues with this accomodation. It’s also very modern and nice would definitely choose it again. :))
Really friendly staff who were welcoming from day 1. Social spaces made it really easy to stay at the Accomodation during the lockdown. Great location near to town too.
Clifford house has been so amazing! The staff are so helpful, 24hour reception, a great gym and it is so social! I would definitely recommend Clifford House if you are looking for a fun accommodation near town and the University.
Lovely staff and amazing facilities! They have made a hard year so much easier! Thank you :)
I’ve received the best support in Clifford. I’ve been staying in this accommodation since 2019, when they first opened. I live in a studio and everything is well equipped. Recently, I need to quarantine for 10 days due to international travelling and the staffs here have supported me throughout the period. They will send my online groceries and parcels up to my door. Thank you!
Cheerful and helpful team that are always on hand. Social spaces make all the difference in accommodation and Clifford House has plenty. Highly recommended!
Extremely modern and well structured accommodation! The staff are so lush and are always there if you need help. Would 110% recommend to anyway looking to live in students halls for university.
There is no other place I’d rather be stuck in during lockdown. Too tear furniture and space organization, but the absolute best part is the staff. They are all gems and so willing to help. The place is always clean and there are clear rules to avoid COVID spread.
Clifford has been great for my first year, due to covid the social experience hasn’t been the best but the location would be great for going out as it’s close to town. In terms of value for money it’s great- I know people in uni halls that pay the same amount and the quality of accommodation isn’t anywhere near as good as the standard of Clifford. The building is always clean and staff are friendly and helpful.
Amazing staff! And great environment.
Although I can't comment on the social experience because I lived here during COVID lockdowns, the building is lovely, the flats are lovely and the staff are amazing. 10/10 would recommend living here. Also, the building is only a 10-15 minute walk from city centre which is much better than the accommodation I had last year.
Clifford house has been great for first year, staff are very friendly and helpful and social spaces are great and the study area is so useful. I recommend Clifford House.
This accommodation has all the bells and whistles that make for a great year at university, making life as stress free and convenient as possible. The accommodation has different room options for different needs and budgets. This isn't a "cheap" accommodation. But, in a normal year (Not COVID) there's a gym, near by shop, 24/7 reception staff and laundry room. Which make up for the premium cost associated with this property. This has to be one of the cleanest places I've been in. I'll be surprised if you find dust or dirt on the floor, its spotless! The clifford house team are friendly and welcoming and can answer all the questions you have and help you in every way. They went above and beyond during a COVID outbreak to ensure the highest safety measures where met for everyone in Clifford House. If you or your family have the extra income to ensure a pleasant first year at university, then I'd recommend Clifford House! 100%
Spacious living areas, great wifi speed as well as modern bedrooms. The location is great, close to town and not too far from the Uni campus. The staff here are great and would definitely recommend any potential students to stay here!
I love living here! the staff are so lovely and helpful and make it feel so welcoming! great rooms and location is amazing!! 10/10 recommend
The accommodation is amazing! I have some health problems and the accommodation staff makes sure to check up on me and takes really good care of everyone. The social spaces are really amazing and it’s really easy to socialise with people you live with in a variety of ways :). My favourite spot in the accommodation (apart from my bedroom!) must be the gym - it’s so well equipped and always free to use
Clifford house is a nice, new building close to the city centre. It is a bit of a walk to the campus but it is in a nice area close to shops and social venues. Additionally, the on-site staff is super friendly and helpful.
Living in Clifford has been the best! As a final year student, I have tried different housing experiences but Clifford House is by far the best! Not only is the staff absolutely amazing but the social spaces and the gym are definitely one of the best perks! So happy to be here
Loved living at Clifford House for my first year, the social spaces have been incredible and really feel I get my money’s worth with them. The staff are always so helpful and friendly - really appreciate the fact they are not just a “landlord”. Would definitely recommend.
Although not one of my choices for accommodation this is honestly the best option, not only are you a short walk from town but also located halfway between St Luke’s and Streatham campus. The staff are all so caring and helpful ready to chat at reception whenever you see them and with high quality facilities such as the TV lounges, the gym and study room ... this really did make my first year even better at Clifford. Would recommend 100% :)
I stayed at Clifford house the year it opened in the 2019/20 year, overall I really enjoyed my stay at Clifford house. I did not opt for Clifford house in my selections and was concerned about being off campus, after staying there for a few days, it was clear that this wasn't really a problem. The location is okay, it is a 15-20 minute walk to campus, depending on the part of campus you are going to. Importantly, Clifford House is located virtually in the centre between campus and the city centre, so going out was much more accessible for me living in Clifford House than my friends on campus. The rooms and kitchens were probably the nicest I have seen on campus, and the common room and the study space were extremely useful and seem somewhat unique to Clifford House, along with the cinema rooms that I also ended up using all the time.
Don’t be out of that it is “off-campus”. Perfect location as you are between town and campus! Social spaces and gym are great :-) Staff are amazing and will miss living here.
The staff are very friendly & helpful. They host different types of event nights to get everyone involved and make sure we have things to do. The location is a good distance inbetween uni & town. The building itself is probably the nicest accommodation I’ve ever seen! Would recommend 100%.
I could not be more happy that I ended up in Clifford House as it truly made my first year university experience that much better. Everything about the accommodation was incredible and it was clear from the outset that the Clifford team really cared about ensuring the best possible experience for all of their students, even knowing us by name. I’ve had to summarise my praises as I hit the character limit but essentially everything from the building itself, to the amenities available, to how clean the building was kept, to the number of people in each flat, to the quality and size of the rooms, bed and shower, to the storage space available, to the activities organised, to the support in place for fixing things and and most notably to the care and dedication of Matthew and his team, made my first year experience incredible. Thank you so much 😊
Staff are very friendly and accommodating, lots of social spaces and opportunities to socialise. Only a 15 minute walk from campus and a 10 minute walk from town (if that).
Nicest staff, spacious It was a memorable time living here!
Amazing modern accommodation in a perfect location. 24 hour team and the best social spaces
Clifford House is easily the best accommodation in Exeter. I live in a flat and the rooms are a great size, beds are so comfy and the kitchens are really nice. The staff are very helpful and you can collect your parcels at any time as there is always someone there to pick them up! There is also lots of communal space e.g. the study lounge is well equipped and spacious and the TV lounges make the perfect place to chill with your friends in the evening. Overall I would definitely recommend this accommodation to any students coming to Exeter!
6 flats to one large kitchen, plenty of cupboards for everyone and a large table and smart TV in each kitchen. Good location for both campuses and close to town. Gated off so feels really safe. Football stadium is right next to building, can be loud, but usually only every other week on a Saturday. Kitchen isn't cleaned which is one of the main downsides I find. The staff are amazing, so lovely and always have quizzes, activities, pancakes etc. for us so it really feels like home. There's a massive social area on the ground floor with table tennis, shuffleboard, games and a TV, a TV room on floors 2, 3 and 4, a communal kitchen on floor 1 and a study space on floor 1. There's also a gym and the staff have free yoga/circuit classes there every week. The other only issue I have is that if your room faces the courtyard/smoking area it can be loud in the evening and smell like smoke. The positives well outweigh the negatives though and it's such a great place to live.
Easily the best halls! The people who the run the halls are absolutely amazing holding weekly social events like making us pancakes in the morning. In terms of the location, its a quick 10 minutes from the centre of campus which is the same as some of the halls on campus and is right next to all the night clubs because it's 5 minutes from town :)
