Accommodation options for top-up students

Accommodation Applications

Accommodation applications for new first-year students will open at 2pm on Wednesday 23 April 2025.

Whilst we don't offer on-site accommodation for top-up students (unless you're an international fee-paying student - see below), there are plenty of options nearby, giving you greater flexibility in choosing where to stay or live, based on the factors that are important to you.

Whether you're looking for a hotel, B&B or more permanent rented accommodation, Hartpury has the best of rural and urban living. Our 360-hectare campus is surrounded by beautiful villages, but we're also close to bustling Gloucester and Cheltenham, both accessible via road and rail, with options to get to campus readily available.

Where to live

If you're planning to make your stay more permanent and live locally for the duration of your course or longer, you may wish to stay in local private accommodation.

Costs will vary. With Gloucestershire having such a large student population, there's plenty to choose from. Some popular student accommodation websites are:

Where to stay

If you're intending to stay locally for a few nights, or over a weekend around your studies, you can explore what's available to you via Visit Gloucester, which provides a one-stop guide to hotel, B&B and self-catering options across the county.

The website is funded by Gloucester City Council and Gloucester Culture Trust through the Arts Council and National Lottery Heritage Fund, Great Place Scheme.

Visit Gloucester

Hartpury is located on the A417, just four miles north of Gloucester, and is easily accessible from the M5, M50 and M4. There are various ways you can get to campus through public transport or by your own means.
