Manor Park Reviews

Beautiful campus with a popular restaurant and just next to the vet school. The rooms are spacious and well kept.

So sociable lovely atmosphere and the best place to be in guildford!

Loved living on Manor Park in first year.

Amazing accommodation, abit far from uni

Over priced, like the rest of Guildford, disgusting the uni makes money off us like this.

I loved halls in first year, a little way to campus but kept it quieter at night

Peaceful and enjoyable accommodation but quality of resources are of basic standard

The room is definitely worth the money. Really nice location and good if you want to actually have separation from being in a learning environment 24/7. Common rooms are not all that brilliant, however.

It still feels like freshers are going on, best place to be during first year

Lovely rooms and decent kitchen size however not all flats are very sociable. Thankfully lots of friends in the building and pres are always a lot of fun! Love the proximity to the sports park and tesco and the walk to campus really isn't bad!

It was the most amazing time other my first year at university

Had problems with Internet connection (the issue woth wore gettinh into my room) which couldn't get fixed for the whole year. The battery was too far from the desk which wasnt great in winter when freezing.... The rest is absolutely fine - the environment is rather new and comfortable! :)

It's clean decent quite and not far from Uni

A modern and clean student village. In a great position for Surrey Sports Park and Tesco. Common rooms and large kitchens provide great social spaces.

Band E room - very comfortable and spacious. The 5-room hall meant I didn't have to worry about too much noise, many strangers, or much mess. Returning to a comfortable and clean room meant I didn't have the distraction many other students had. Although a fair distance from the campus, the location, with a view of fields, meant there was little sound pollution, and was a rather tranquil place to spend my first year.

Great room and very spacious kitchen, it is a bit of a walk from the main campus however is very close to the sports park which is great for people who enjoy using the gym

Band D, single bed en suite, shared (large) kitchen with 6 flatmate. 5 minutes walk to tescos, 15-20 minutes walk to campus, 5 minutes walk to sports park, regular buses into campus and town.

Band D room, shared kitchen with 6 people, en suite with a single bed, large kitchen space. Area around manor park is amazing dispite being off campus (however is only a 20-30minute walk) but is just across the road from tescos. Also connected to surrey sports park via a 5 minute walk. The area looks updated and clean with a road system worked around the building. Buses are readily available to go into town and uni.

WAS ALRIGHT BUT I'D RATHER LIVE ON THE MAIN CAMPUS

Not as social as living on campus, many international students, good value for money, rooms all en suite (good bathrooms), security around 24/7.

Great bedrooms and kitchen. Cooker oven is slow so don't start cooking at 10pm as you'll be there till midnight. 5min walk to the gym or a short walk/bus to the main campus, with the laundry room just around the corner from your flat. Heart and soul is a great place to eat or socialise.

Most of the flats don't have network. U can only depend on the wifi

Great on site facilities and really polite staff. The rooms are really spacious and each band (D, E, F) is great value for money!

Isolated, 30min walk away from main campus and almost 40mins away from town. The buses from the residence to anywhere are not reliable and always late

Manor Park rooms are expensive, but are much nicer than on campus accommodation. The biggest drawback is the distance, but if you plan to cycle this isn't too bad. It's a 20 minute walk otherwise.

Very convenient for sports park but a bit far from university and town. The bedrooms are comfortable to live in and the campus is quite modern. There aren't many common rooms and they aren't very equipped. They have TVs and maybe table tennis in a few.

Went for band D to be safe but would have been happier in band C as more social and would have saved money. Band D was too civilised to be a proper uni experience

It's great! I love the people there everyone is just really friendly. But it could be kinda quiet sometimes which is scary

I love everything about it except how the buses run!

The cleaning happens only once a week, there are only a few commom rooms.

The rooms are really nice and the area is lovely! Heart and Soul is cute but a bit pricey, and shuts quite early.

Its really nice and very new! Maintenance is super fast! Literally 3min walk from the gym. 7min bus ride to the Uni!

Halls are very nice just not as social as main campus

I really love MP. It's good because you're only 20 minutes away from campus and during the walk/bus ride you can socialise and get to know the people around you.

It's great to have a modern village-type community where is everyone is nearby and something is always happening

Good place to live, but far from uni

I love living in Manor Park not only because it's close to the Uni and my friends both in Manor Park and on main campus but because you're easily able to gain a sense of privacy and peace when you want.

The rooms/kitchens themselves are really quite good, but it's quite far from town/campus, and there are only two small common rooms for a huge housing estate. Heart and soul is okay, but for the only place to eat/drink on site it closes early and it's expensive.

Great to be close to the ports park and the rooms are decent

Nice facilities compared to Stag Hill. However, in terms of social bonding / social rooms there isn't much opportunity and people have to go above and beyond to make an effort.

Its so far away from University, the Student Union, and town. And the transportation to and from these places sucks. But overall, Manor Park as a residence hall is new- but the lighting in the room is awful. Its only one lamp.

Nicest halls at Surrey. Great rooms spacious and up to date. Needs somewhere comfy with a tele where you can chill other than laundry room

No real common rooms for each block just a couple across the whole site and Wi-Fi is through individual routers in each bedroom that all have separate ID's and Passkeys.

The walk from/to campus is worth it for a reallllly nice en suite room

Buss pass solves the issue of the walk to uni, however the buses are so unteliable, but being further out means that its harder to be socially involved, especially when your friends are living on campus! However the rooms are much nicer than on campus and the sports park and tesco are right next door!

Tesco and sports park near is convenient and rooms and kitchens are of a good size. Distance to campus is a drawback.

Manor park is amazing even if it is of campus, a tad on the expensive side it worth it

Really nice facilities, nice big room

Really great community feel as it is slightly further from the Uni, with a constant bus service to the uni, Guildford station and town centre.

moved in 3 weeks late but it's fab

A bit expensive with bad bus services

Lovely living space but not great for social interactions as it's difficult for neighbouring flats and buildings to come in and say hello during freshers week and beyond.

Top quality halls, very modern. There's a new cafe, and the sports park is 100m away. Bus to uni takes 15 mins, and to town about 25. Make sure you're flat is only 1st year students.

About 20 minute walk from campus, and busses can be very unreliable. Apart from that, the accommodation was great.

Some student would complain that Manor Park is 'far away' from the campus and all the student on Manor Park form a little 'bubble'. But I honestly think it was amazing. All the accommodation vary from Band D to Band F (Band A being the cheapest and Band F most expensive). When I lived there I was paying £121.50 for a Band D, which included an eu suite, cleaners cleaning your kitchen once a week, and bins being taken out for you every day! I was very lucky to live in one of the brand new accommodation which they build the summer before I arrived. The rooms were amazing - good size, lovely mutual colours (mostly cream). However this isn't the case in all of the blocks at Manor Park. The walk to campus is NOT long at all (around 15-20 minutes), and if walking doesn't appeal to you, then there are buses running every 10-15 minutes from Manor Park straight to Campus and Guildford town centre. The big Tesco, Surrey Sports Park and the Hospital are all around 5 minutes walk from Manor Park!

Living at manor park has been brilliant, the rooms are so spacious compared to rooms on campus and the kitchen is huge. Our bathrooms have proper showers not wet rooms so it's very clean and new! The only downside is being 20 minutes walk away from campus but a bus pass solves that problem easily and it's worth the trek for the much higher standard of accomodation!
