HEYY!! I stayed in Garstang Whitworth Park last year and I feel you girl!! When I tell you I CRIED when I got it because it looks like a dump and the whole shared bathroom situation 😮. BUT guys I ended up having the best year of my life. I PROMISE it’s no where near as bad as it looks or some people made it out to be. Honestly just trust the process and remember everything happens for a reason (just pray you get put with good flatmates) It’s so cheap and so close to the Uni, if I could turn back time I would seriously choose to stay here!!! It’s single beds and is very basic but you can make it cute with decorations. Also lots of the houses have been redecorated over the summer so hopefully will be a bit better 👀 I can send pics of my room/flat if you want. HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE THE BEST TIME.LIVE LAUGH LOVE WHITTY P 🫶🫶🫶

I’ve also got a video I took of our flat just before I moved out which gives a much better idea of what it’s like but it won’t let me upload it on here. Let me know if you want it and can try and send it a different way

bro thank u so much for these, genuinely really relieving to see that it isn’t as bad as i imagined bc ive been dreading it for so long. really appreciate the yt video too, really informative bc i couldn’t find any good recent tours of it online
your room looked so cozy and spacious, i shall be taking some inspiration tysm
my only worry is that i don’t get the square sized room like u did bc ik every room is different. im praying i get one similar to urs and not the smaller ones with the sloped window, they seem significantly smaller

oh my god thank you so much this is like seriously life changing because i couldn’t find any photos at all of garstang it was insane
Guys you’re so welcome. I feel you!! I was literally doing the exact same scouring the whole internet this time last year but there is barely anything. *My room was deffo the smallest in our flat 👎👎 but made the best of it. ALSO I was hoping for one of those big rooms too but I’m pretty sure that it’s mainly thorncliffe (the house that’s on top of the shops) that has them - that’s what the pictures on the website are from aswell.
