Room types and facilities

When choosing a room type, many students start with two questions: how much privacy do you want day to day, and how social do you want your living setup to be? Belaton House offers a mix of en-suite rooms and studio-style options designed around typical student routines.

Facilities commonly associated with PBSA can support both study and downtime, with shared spaces that make it easier to socialise without relying on off-site venues.

What’s included in the rent

One reason PBSA is popular with both UK and international students is budget clarity. Rent is typically structured to include core services such as utilities and internet, which can reduce unexpected monthly costs and make planning easier.

Students should always check what is included in their contract (and whether any fair-usage policies apply), especially during winter months.
