Silk Mill, Lancaster

Situated in the village of Galgate south of lancaster is the 19th century Silk Mill. The silk mill has been revived and revitalized. A grade two listed building. The four architects commissioned have done a great job and managed to retained all of the historical features. The five storey red brick building has been transformed into student accommodation. Modern and up to date facilities, including a gymnasium, communial area and reception situated in the basement. An interesting project.

I’ve had a great experience at this accommodation. The property is clean, well-maintained, and any issues are dealt with quickly. Beth, the manager, is professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful. Angela, the caretaker, does an excellent job keeping everything clean and in good condition. A well-managed and comfortable place to stay.

The apartment is clean and nicely laid out. The facilities are good and the Mill is conveniently located. I would recommend renting here.

My Niece is staying here, lovely room with everything she needs, lift was fully working today when I visited, 15-20 minute walk to campus, friendly staff, notice board updated, good amount of options close by, she’s happy and feels safe.

I’ve been living at The Silk Mill for a while now, and I can honestly say it’s been such a positive experience. The place is modern, comfortable, and well-kept, making it a perfect space to call home as a student. It’s not just about having a nice place to stay; the environment here is really what makes it special. I have to give a huge shout-out to Beth, the property manager. She is absolutely amazing. From day one, Beth has been nothing but helpful, kind, and genuinely caring. It’s clear she takes pride in making sure everything runs smoothly, and you can tell she really cares about the residents. Whether it’s a small question or something more urgent, she’s always there to help and never makes you feel like a bother. Her professionalism and warmth really set the tone for the whole place, and it’s something I truly appreciate. And then there’s Angela, who plays such a huge role in keeping everything running smoothly. She works so hard to keep the building in top condition, and it shows. But it’s not just about cleanliness; Angela creates a sense of calm and comfort that’s hard to put into words. She’s always friendly, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the people who live here. There’s a real sense of community here, and a big part of that is because of her presence. She’s one of those people who makes you feel welcome, and it’s something that makes a big difference when you’re living away from home. The Silk Mill is also in a great location for getting to campus; it’s really convenient, which makes a busy student life that much easier. The building itself feels safe, clean, and quiet, perfect for focusing on schoolwork or just taking a break when needed. It really feels like a peaceful space where you can both work and relax. Overall, I’m so happy to be living here. The Silk Mill is more than just a place to stay; it’s a place where I feel supported, cared for, and at home, thanks to the amazing staff like Beth and Angela. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better student accommodation, and I’d recommend it to anyone without hesitation.
