Yes. When you apply using our accommodation application form, just give us arrival and departure dates that match your placement, internship or apprenticeship, and your stay will be agreed for that fixed period. If you don’t know your end date yet, our team can suggest a provisional departure date that you can confirm later.
If you’re planning to arrive within the next 30 days, a member of our team will be in touch as soon as possible. For arrival dates further ahead, our response may take a little longer.
Yes. As soon as your new end date is confirmed, let our team know your updated departure date and we’ll amend your booking. You can stay with us for up to four years in total.
If your placement finishes early, just give us one week’s notice. As long as you’ve stayed at least 14 nights and given notice, your licence deposit is refunded within 10 working days of leaving, less any deductions for damage or breakages.
To confirm your booking, you pay a holding deposit equal to one week’s accommodation charge, which becomes your licence deposit when you move in. On arrival, you pay your first week’s charge by debit or credit card, as all of our houses are cashless.
After that, your weekly charge is taken automatically from the same card every Friday morning and covers the week ahead (Saturday 10am to Saturday 9:59am). If you’d rather pay for several weeks at once, the reception team can take two, three, four or more weeks in advance.
