The staff are the highlight, so lovely and really make the experience good! I feel looked after and happy. The value for money is not good though, as I feel like I am paying an extortionate amount!

Rly nice Chinese new year celebration with amazing food.
Thank you for your review lovely to hear feedback from our students, wished i had been their to try the amazing food on offer :)
WiFi went down for ten days in our block and we have very little communication about whether it would be resolved or not, and took ages to resolve. We have still not received compensation despite paying for a service we don't have access to.

I've spent the summer stay at Rushford Court and overall, it's been a pleasant experience. The rooms are clean, modern, and come with all the necessary amenities for student living. One standout feature of this accommodation is the wonderful staff, particularly Irma. Always friendly, and ready to help with any questions or concerns, Irma makes the living experience here that much better.
It’s a nice place. Really good for its price. The room layouts can be better though. Some rooms have an odd layout.
Beautiful place, excellent staff, really nice people, very convenient to school and railway station
