Accommodation

If you want the luxury of living on site, surrounded by countryside and being able to roll out of bed and into your lectures, our Hartpury campus halls are the right choice for you. If city life is more your thing, you may be more suited to our Hartpury Gloucester accommodation (Blackfriars), or a private house-share, in the heart of Gloucester, which is just a 15 minute bus or car journey away.
