I really like this place! It’s good value. Low cost with good devices and nice location (15 minutes walk to Newcastle campus). The ensuite rooms here are bigger than those in city center but cheaper! Staffs here are nice and friendly.

Amazing location of the accommodation with only few minutes of walking to Newcastle University!
I have a good experience at Barker house and look forward to moving into a different flat next year. Whenever I needed help with anything it was seen to asap, any time they required access to flats I was given at least 24 hour notice, and the security and appliances included are worth the money, ie the security and each kitchen having a washer/dryer. Also the staff are very welcoming and helpful, and greet me every time they see me. Great student accommodation to choose, I highly recommend considering it as a choice, I viewed many and this is the one that stood out the most.
We are glad to hear that you have had a good experience with us! This is a great review, but we are wondering what can we do differently to improve further? Thanks Alex, CSA

The management staff are so lovely, they have created such a welcoming and friendly environment and are always quick to help with any problems or queries we have :)
Barker House is great. I enjoyed my time here.
Great location with nice management. I call it as comfortable as a hotel
Amazing place in a great location. Plenty of shops near by and a lovely common room.
The management are excellent, very friendly and active responding to queries.
Excellent accommodation in an amazing location - so close to the centre but also close to jesmond for nice walks. Manager is lovely - puts on social events to get to know each other. Rooms and en-suites are spacious.
Excellent, I have had no issues at all. Any initial concerns were quickly dealt with and accommodated by the property manager.
Barker House is an ideal accommodation for students new to Newcastle due to its friendly atmosphere and close location to both Universities. The staff are cheerful and help with any queries you may have. I have felt safe here throughout the covid-19 pandemic. Even though social events could not happen in person, there have been plenty of opportunities to take part in virtual quizzes. The flats have spacious kitchen/communal area with enough storage space. Nearby is a Tesco Express and Morrisons is a 15 minute walk away. Also near the accommodation are parks and the quayside.
Hi, Thank you so much for your review of the property. I appriciate your kind words about the building and i will keep up the events and giveaways for everyone in the building and try to keep you all as happy as you can be in these difficult times. As always im here if you need anything. Scott.
Barker House is a great option for accommodation. It is a 10-minute walk to Newcastle University and it is really close to the Quayside which is great when you want a break from studying! The communal flat area is spacious and there is plenty of cupboard space. The staff are always really friendly and helpful. Due to covid we booked the common room out as a flat and the manager put refreshments out for us to enjoy! Barker House is a great place to stay whilst studying for both undergraduates and postgraduates.
Thank you so much for your review! I like to make the building as nice a place to stay in as possible and hearing feedback is always great. Its a shame we have not been able to use the common area and others more often this year but hopefully before the end of the year we will be able to :) If you need anything please visit myself at reception. Many thanks, Scott
Excellent management and value for money
Thank you so much for the lovely review! Always here to help :)
Great place for students to stay, there are always activities for everyone to get to know each other. The facility is clean and the common room is so homely and comfortable to spend time in. The accommodation is very close to Northumbria city campus and also 1 min walk away from the number 1 bus to coachlane campus. I’ve been here for 2 years and had a good experience especially with the lovely staff that are always there to help. The kitchen has everything ready including the washing machine which is hard to find in other accommodation with this price.
Thank you so much for your review! We always try and make your stay as good as it can be in in these difficult times. Thank you :)
Its my second year staying here and I have never looked back. It is ridiculously near to Northumbria Uni (3 mins walk). There is a tesco and subway that is just a stones throw away. What else could a student want? An ever friendly accommodation manager as well. The kitchen is amazing and every flat gets their own washer and dryer, so thats a chore less. Perfect place to stay in my opinion. Rent is reasonable too. Youre losing out if youre not staying here.
Thank you for the review :) You know we are always here to help with anything you require. Stay safe and keep enjoying your stay
It’s a great place to stay , city centre is jus few miles away , can talk a walk and the university is quiet near which is really comfortable and got all the facilities in this stay , don’t have to go for laundry outside and good range of price and it’s really worth it
Thank you for your great feedback on the property. You have been a great resident here at the property and i'm so happy you are staying another year :) Here's to a better 2021! Thank you as always, Scott
I moved from another accomodation here last September and it has been an extremely homely feeling. The rooms are spacious and so is the kitchen.. Everyone who manages the place is extremely friendly and always helping you with whatever you need. Being an international student you want to go back to a place that feels like home and is cosy, and this place ticked off every requirement in my list!
Thank you so much for your review ! If you ever need anything im always here to help :) Thank you , Scott
Wonderful place. Worthy for the price you pay nearby to all necessities and universities. Good location. Very helpful management line. Would definitely continue my stay here in future. Highly recommend as I’ve surveyed many places in Newcastle and visited other accommodation I personally feel this is one of the best.
Thank you for your kind words and am so happy you enjoyed your stay here :)
Perfect place to live if you are studying in Northumbria University. Excellent location and amazing en suite rooms. To top it all off, the accommodation manager, Scott is a gem of a person. Wonderful for students
This accommodation is an excellent value for money and conveniently placed. The big bonus to this building is the relationships you make, and there are so many events on to help you find new friendships feel welcome and interact with others to make your stay as comfortable as possible including FIFA nights, films nights and quiz nights. I would also like to shout out Scott, the manager of the building who made my stay even better and is a great guy, it's rare to find someone who interacts so well with students, his door is always open for a chat, and he makes sure everyone is doing okay daily, I would also like to shout out the maintenance guy and the cleaner, who both have great personalities that add even more character to this accomdation.. excellent management and excellent accommodation overall.
