Lancaster Accomodation

Hi, sorry that no one answered your question at the time. Did you end up staying there? I'm currently considering 99 Penny Street for my accommodation next year and I've been struggling to find info/advice from people who have lived there. I'm going to view it once the booking opens but right now I can't even find any pictures of it that aren't taken by the company itself.

Hi I think I can answer that question for you as my daughter stayed there at 99 penny street for year 3. Absolutely loved it. Bonus was that you can just walk to common garden street and catch the bus there so you have a good chance on getting on the bus at peak times. The ensuite she stayed in a gold ensuite and it was a 3 quarter bed and lots of room. The kitchen diner TV area is really big, has two cookers 4 fridges and plenty of cupboard space. She shared between 12, all various phd/2nd /3rd/4th year. You get your mail there, but for bigger parcels you collect at the reception of 77 penny street. Any issues they sort out quickly. The smell of the bread from subway coming up the stairway wow lol. And you also got kfc on doorstep which did come in handy for her when flu was doing the rounds so she could just nip across and not have to cook. And theres sainsburys as well. And aldi of course. You also have a lift to help carry the bulky items on move in day, and laundry is circuit.
She would have loved to have gone back for year 4 of her integrated, but because she needs a 2:1, she was on borderline end of year 2, so she couldnt take the risk having having to pay for accommodation should she not qualify end of year 3 (she did qualify), so she chose chancellors. She likes chancellors and its great as well, but personally for me I feel Chancellors is more dated in its decor compared to 99 penny street. Chancellors is cheaper though so she is saving some money towards her phd. I will get you some pics of the place as well that i have

Ah thank you! That is really helpful, it looks nice, very spacious especially in the kitchen, much better than what I have now on campus. Do you happen to know where the best and cheapest place to park around there would be? I don't drive but my mum drives up to visit me and we've found it can be quite difficult to find places to park in town.
