Overlooking a court or garden
- Noise
“Living room is very quiet. Bedroom is noisier, overlooking King's parade, so bells in the day and revellers at night, but it's high enough not to be too bad.” (Jan 2008)
“Bedroom overlooks Kings Parade so you will want to throttle the buskers. Not a problem at night though, and no noisy lorries” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Tiny gyp shared between three (much like any in tree court): one fridge, one toaster, one kettle, one combi oven, one grill, four (very) small cupboards, a sink. Not really large enough to cook in, and no work surfaces, but fine for a cup of tea.” (Jan 2008)
“Pathetically small. Next door. Shared with 2 others” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“WC on this floor, shared between 3-6 people (depending on whim of those on floor below); small, but no reason to be bigger. Shower on floor below, shared between seven: also small, with door somewhat inconvenient for leaving with dry feet.” (Jan 2008)
“Shower downstairs, never any hot water. Toilet next door. Share with 5.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Living room contains a substantial desk with office chair, table and chair, coffee table, and two "comfy" chairs. Also a wall suitable for pins with a number of movable bookshelves, a chest of drawers, and an open cabinet/low bookshelf. The bedroom contains a bed, chest of drawers, a chair, a basin and small cabinet, and a wardrobe with two drawers. In total, more than adequate, and plenty of storage space.” (Jan 2008)
“a futon is handy for the sitting room” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“The living room is very quiet, and quite large; the bedroom has a marvellous view. The staircase is fairly quiet due to low numbers, and the room has a feeling of exclusivity.” (Jan 2008)
“the view (Tree Court and Kings Parade), the space (lots of it) and the wood” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Potentially stairs; if you don't like them, don't take the room. The bedroom can be noisy at night, and the fact that it is a suite means that it'll probably be taken quickly.” (Jan 2008)
“Stairs - lots of them - and you'd be screwed if there were a fire. Sitting room is really dark.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“The living room feels dark due to a small, north-facing window, and has the normal beige feel of an old college room. There's plenty of storage space; this feels slighty less when used for cutlery, crockery and food (which is recommended due to the small gyp), and the room is large enough for a group of six or seven to be comfortably spread out. Ample electrical sockets, though the network socket is some distance from the obvious location for the desk: bring a long cable. The bedroom feels cramped by comparison, although it's certainly big enough for its purpose. Again, plenty of storage space in the wardrobe, drawers and cupboard, but it's possible that long dresses won't fit here. The rooms are linked, as in most suites, by a small chamber with a seperate door to the staircase. Not large enough to be of any use, but has its own light.” (Jan 2008)
“Pam is the bedder. Perhaps you know her already...” (Jan 2003)
