The rooms are moderately sized, comparable to those in Cygnet Wharf and The Gateway, with a desirable amount of storage and access to plug outlets. The staff in the reception are lovely and always nice to talk to. The main issues with this accommodation is the same shared with Cygnet Wharf, you have no choice in the apartment (expected sadly) and will likely end up sharing with 11 other people. On the surface, that seems ok, however if you're expecting a quiet time, that's not what you'll be getting. To be expected during term time and in a student village, those coming and going from the clubs do make a racket quite early in the morning. The main issue arises from a 12 person apartment: the communal space and cleanliness. In the block I stayed in, we had numerous issues with bins overflowing and maggots. This isn't something to hold against the Staff but something to talk to your flatmates about, and something to expect sadly.

Anyone moved in and can give their experience of what this new development is like? Does it feel safe? Is it close to supermarkets? Do year groups mix and share flats? Is there a laundry? Is there a communal space? Anything you can tell me much appreciated looking for 2022

Student Review: 3.6 /5

It is quite expensive but is the perfect location if studying is your main focus. Lincoln is quite small so obviously not far from the city centre but is a bit of a walk. Luckily there are shops nearby if you can't be bothered and most shops surrounding are open until late on most days (not Sundays). Two laundry rooms and you'll almost never have a day where it's full (only happened once to me). All social spaces, however, are outside so you can't really use them most of the time you're there, but the customer service in all access is really fast and the rooms are thoroughly cleaned when you get them.

Generally not a positive experience. Immediately placed into a flat of 12, without choice. Especially for someone quieter, this is really difficult when you have no idea who you'll be placed with. Noise travels all the way through the corridor, and you can hear into people's rooms. Social space often used as a sleepover space, and not asked for permission beforehand. So this can be daunting to enter the kitchen lounge area. The blocks are very loud, particularly at night. Ideal for party students, but those looking for a quieter experience, or perhaps a bit more anxious, this probably isn't the right accommodation.

Great location being close to Isaac Newton building and met great people but not worth the money at all. Constant issues with cheap sockets and appliances having to be replaced. Had a few issues that weren't resolved for days. Great reception staff though, super helpful and nice.
