    • What Happens If I Want To Cancel My Booking

    Get in touch and tell us straight away. How much we can help will depend on the timing and the circumstances of your cancellation.
    Licence Agreements are legally binding, so once you have signed and returned your contract, you're required to pay your rent. If (under special circumstances only) you need to withdraw from the Licence Agreement, we'll try to find a replacement Licensee for your room, but we can't guarantee we'll be able to. If a new Licensee is found, then we can release you from your licence, but there will be a re-licence fee*. If you require a copy of the re-licence terms and conditions, please get in touch with us.

    Lived here two years so far and has been a lovely stay the whole time! Amazing staff, speedy maintenance team and great shared facilities. (The onsite laundry is especially convenient) Will be staying next year and would recommend!

    Regarding the bathroom, it is spacious, and the water temperature in the shower is amazing. The halls are always clean due to us flatmates having a rota to follow so that cleanliness is kept in the kitchen and surrounding areas. there is usually a cleaner too who helps to mop if needed. the common area is lively with a pool table, tv with entertainment services and table tennis which is so fun. the team also host social events like free waffle day, coffee and breakfast, tote bag painting which is amazing

    I've really enjoyed my time at Discovery Heights so far, and it's been a really nice experience. I'm very glad I chose to live here for first year, and second year going forward. The staff, especially Ellie :), are all super helpful, friendly and welcoming. They're always there if you need them, and most maintenance issue are resolved fairly quickly. The actual accommodation itself is super nice as well, and the proximity to campus is great as it's only a couple minutes away. Overall I love this accommodation and it's a great place to stay if you're looking!!

    i've lived in discovery heights for almost 2 years now and have rebooked for a third year and am heavily looking forward to my next few years i have left here. my flatmates are utter angels whom i love so very dearly. the interior is fairly simply designed so it isnt treacherous to navigate the building. the shared lobby is very cozy and has a decent number of amenities available for social use. the location is incredibly convenient as it positions residents directly across the street from the university.

    The WiFi here is absolutely great. The kitchen facilities in shared flat kitchens are also good, just make sure to keep things clean and perhaps organise a system with your flatmates to keep on top of that. Also, I think the beds are comfy and the chair that comes with the room is truly amazing. Plenty of sockets for devices and shelves/draws for your books and clothes, plus a handy bathroom for it too. I'd also say the events the staff organise sometimes are really fun, my only issue is that there aren't more of them because they're always great whenever they happen and they do happen somewhat often already. The laundry is good too, they recently added liquid and stuff in the laundry room itself so you don't have to worry about buying your own (I still make sure to just in case but it is a really thoughtful thing of them to do to reduce costs for people living here).
