Hear what other residents have to say

"I have enjoyed living here the past year. Reception staff are lovely and so are the students also in the building."

"Despite what some people may think, I’d argue Cranborne was one of the best accommodations to live in- especially if you’re a social person. There’s usually 3 flats per floor (in each block) so it’s easy to make friends with your floor mat..."

"I loved living Cranborne House, would definitely recommend it over the other halls.
* Really sociable building,smoking area is good compared to other halls.
* Day and night staff are great
* Common room is a bit on the small side but is okay. ..."

"One of the best halls in bournemouth"

"Wifi was a bit iffy, wouldn't work quite regularly. Everything else was fine with it :)"

"Best halls ever. Prime location, right by a bus stop, close to the beach, town centre and all importantly- the clubs and bars!"

"Cranborne house is the best halls at Bournemouth university in terms of the atmosphere in the building is fantastic and is the not social halls. Everyone is really friendly and outgoing"

"Very student orientated with interior/ location. I feel that it could be slightly cheaper, the rooms are very basic. But the staff are welcoming and good facilities. The social experience is great!!"
