A smaller choice at a lower rent
A few Bath properties offer en-suite rooms. You get a private bathroom and share a kitchen and lounge, which brings the rent down in a pricey city.

See Bath en-suite roomsBath has two universities on opposite sides of town: the University of Bath at Claverton Down to the east, and Bath Spa at Newton Park beyond the western edge. Most rooms we list are studios, every one includes bills, and many second years move into Oldfield Park.
University of Bath accommodation is the biggest search in the city, yet the campus sits on its own at Claverton Down, east of the centre. Your bus route matters as much as your room, so we start with the trip up there.
At Claverton Down, on the east side of Bath, postcode BA2 7AY. The university puts the city centre around two miles away. Second and third years living in town make that trip most days. Our University of Bath page lists private options nearby.
Three U routes. The university lists the U1 from the city centre, the U3 through the centre and Oldfield Park, and the U2 from Oldfield Park in term time. Pick a room close to one of their stops and the daily commute stays simple.
The University of Bath sends students to StudentPad for houses, flats and rooms around the city. Students writing on its ResLife blog said more listings appeared there later in the autumn, and groups that paid holding deposits first won the houses.
Fairly close. The university places this village on the south east edge of Bath, about two miles from campus, with regular buses. The Avenue has a few shops and a cafe. Town is around 35 minutes on foot, so evenings out mean a bus.
Centurion House on North Parade Road is one example close to the centre. Its page places it in Bathwick by the river, near the Rec where Bath Rugby plays, and says the University of Bath is a short walk or bus ride away.
Bath Spa station sits on the southern side of the centre, with regular trains to Bristol and London Paddington, according to the university. A room near it suits students who go home by rail, and U1 buses to campus leave from the centre.
Bath Spa University accommodation draws strong search interest, and its main campus sits outside the city at Newton Park. Art and design students study at Locksbrook instead, so the right street depends on which site holds your course.
Outside the city, at Newton St Loe, postcode BA2 9BN. Bath Spa describes the grounds as an estate laid out by Capability Brown. Most private rooms sit in Bath itself, so plan your year around the Unibus that runs out to campus.
Yes. Bath Spa says the U3 runs to Newton Park from the city centre seven days a week, until about 3am from Monday to Saturday. The U4 links the campus with south Bath, which helps students renting around Odd Down or Southdown.
Bath Spa says Locksbrook is a few minutes on foot from accommodation on Lower Bristol Road. Hollis Wharf sits along that road, and its page quotes a 26 minute bus ride to the University of Bath and the number 5 into town.
Art and design. Bath Spa runs these courses from Locksbrook Campus on Locksbrook Road, BA1 3EL, beside the River Avon. The U5 Unibus passes close by on weekdays until about 9pm, on its way between Newton Park and Windsor Bridge.
Twerton lies in west Bath and is home to the city's football club, says the University of Bath. Twerton High Street has a small selection of shops. Newton Park sits just beyond it, while Claverton Down is about four miles away.
At The Brook, yes. Its room notes say one other person can share a studio at no extra cost. The property sits on Lower Bristol Road, BA2 3AU, near Locksbrook. Ask how the tenancy will list both people before either of you signs.
Searches for Bath student houses and student housing point to a handful of neighbourhoods. The University of Bath calls Oldfield Park the popular student area, and lists Widcombe, Twerton and Weston too. Here is how they differ day to day.
Shops and a station. The university notes Moorland Road's shops, bars and cafes, plus Oldfield Park station with trains into Bath and on to Bristol. The centre is about 20 minutes on foot, and the U2 runs to campus in term time.
Widcombe lies south east of the centre, a short walk from Bath Spa station. The university mentions a row of shops, cafes, takeaways and pubs on Claverton Street, about 15 minutes on foot to town, with regular buses up to campus.
The university puts Weston, north west of Bath and home to the city's hospital, about four miles from Claverton Down. Its high street has a few small shops and a small supermarket, and the walk into the centre takes close to 50 minutes.
Avon Studios on Midland Road, BA1 3BZ, is one example west of the centre. Its page quotes a 16 minute walk to Bath College, and some studios face the river or look towards Royal Victoria Park. Ask which side your window faces.
Usually, yes. StudentPad figures the university has quoted put the centre and Widcombe above Oldfield Park, Twerton and Weston for monthly rent per person. Those numbers are a few years old, so read them as a ranking of areas, not a price.
The Depot on Brougham Hayes sits between the centre and Oldfield Park. Its page puts town ten minutes away on foot and mentions bus links to the University of Bath. Its studios run from about 19 square metres to more than 30.
Student studios lead Bath listings, and rent searches show how closely students watch the budget. This tab looks at weekly prices, studio sizes, twodios, what the bills cover and how Bath sits against other cities on our pages.
Around £245 to £350 a week on our Bath pages, bills included. Most rooms are studios, which pushes the starting point up. Rents vary by floor, view and size, so open each property page and check the room you want.
Yes, by student standards. The lowest starting rent on our Bath pages is higher than in most UK cities we cover. Students who want to spend less tend to share a house in Oldfield Park or Twerton, found through StudentPad.
Usually 18 to 23 square metres. The smallest we list are around 18, and a few corner and top floor studios pass 30. Every studio has its own shower room and a kitchen or kitchenette, so ask for the exact floor area first.
A twodio is a studio planned for two people, with two beds, two desks and two wardrobes. Friends split one kitchen, one bathroom and the rent. Some Bath properties offer them, so ask how the rent divides and whose names go on the tenancy.
Student Castle on Pulteney Road, about 0.3 miles from the centre, is one example with a gym and free bike hire. It offers studios only, in three sizes. Its page quotes rents from around £350 a week, with bills in the price.
Every property we list in Bath includes bills. Each page shows Wi-Fi in the package, and a few add contents insurance. A private house share usually lists rent alone, so ask landlords there for last year's energy and broadband costs.
