About this property

Purbeck House

Let's cut the small talk. If you're heading to the South Coast to slay your degree, your accommodation needs to be as fire as your study game. Purbeck House Bournemouth isn't just a place to crash; it’s the ultimate base for that iconic student life you’ve been manifesting. Located right in the buzzing Lansdowne area, this property puts you at the absolute epicentre of the action, making it prime student accommodation in Bournemouth.

This is luxury living without the ridiculous price tag. Purbeck House offers seriously sleek and modern living spaces, primarily comprising Classic Ensuite rooms within shared cluster flats (usually 6 bedrooms). This means you get the best of both worlds: your own private bathroom (no sharing the shower—thank us later) and a vibrant, fully kitted-out shared kitchen and lounge to live your flatmate fantasy. For the lone wolves, there are also a limited number of studio flats available for maximum independence.

The key flex here is the location and the all-inclusive value. Your rent covers all bills, including utilities and ultra-fast Wi-Fi, meaning no more awkward conversations about splitting the electricity. Even better, for Bournemouth University students, your annual bus pass is usually wrapped right into the rent—a game-changer for commuting to the Talbot Campus. Plus, you’re less than a 10-minute walk from the stunning Bournemouth Beach and the best nightlife. Stop scrolling through basic Bournemouth student housing and secure your spot at the place that gets it. This is where coastal chic meets academic slay.

Life at Purbeck House

Purbeck House is stacked with facilities that prove it’s built for the modern, demanding student. This isn't just about functionality; it’s about a seamless, vibey experience.

Facilities: More Than Just a Room

Need to break a sweat? While not mentioned as a full gym, the common room is massive and perfect for breaking out those viral TikTok dance moves. More importantly, the social hub includes free pool, ping pong, and table football, ensuring boredom is cancelled. For your study grind, there are dedicated communal study spaces where you can power through assignments away from your flat’s kitchen chaos.

Practical stuff is handled, too: there's an on-site laundry room to keep your threads fresh and secure bike storage if you prefer two wheels. And when the sun does what Bournemouth is famous for, the outdoor courtyard with a BBQ area is the essential summer hang-out spot. Vending machines are also on standby for those emergency 2 AM snack cravings. Essentially, everything you need for the high-achieving, low-stress student life is right here.

Social Experience: Find Your Flatmate Faves

The social scene at Purbeck House is designed to thrive. Living in the Classic Ensuite cluster flats means you're automatically plugged into a community. Sharing a kitchen and lounge with 5-7 flatmates in your unit is the fastest way to make lifelong friends and build that immediate university family.

Beyond your flat, the huge common room is the main social magnet. Whether you're watching a game on the big screen, dominating the pool table, or just chilling on the comfy sofas, this space is where the connections happen. Plus, the property partners with the ResLifeBU program (for BU students), which organises regular social events, wellness support, and skills sessions. This property makes meeting people genuinely easy—perfect for first years looking to find their squad in Bournemouth student accommodation. The outdoor courtyard is also key for summer socials, making it easy to host low-key gatherings.

Safety and Security: Peace of Mind on Lock

Your safety is the non-negotiable vibe check at Purbeck House. The property is serious about security, so you can focus on your studies and social life without the worry.

The whole building operates with secure key fob access, ensuring that only residents and authorised staff can enter. The premises are covered by 24-hour CCTV surveillance in all communal and entry areas. Crucially, there is a dedicated on-site management team available 24/7 to provide support and handle any issues. With this level of security and on-site assistance, you can feel completely secure in your private Classic Ensuite and when moving around the communal spaces.

Neighbourhood and Lifestyle near Purbeck House

Location, location, location. Purbeck House doesn't just put you in Bournemouth; it puts you in the best part of it. The lifestyle here is a perfect blend of beach-town chill and city-centre hustle.

The Best of Both Worlds

You are living in the heart of the Lansdowne area, which is essentially the Bournemouth University student hub. You are steps away from the university's Lansdowne campus buildings. But the real flex? You are a short, breezy 10-minute walk from the famous Bournemouth Beach. Beach days between lectures? Mandatory.

Nightlife and City Essentials

The neighbourhood is alive with student activity. The legendary Old Fire Station SU nightclub is practically on your doorstep—no expensive taxi needed for a great night out. You are also right next to the main Bournemouth travel interchange, including the train and bus stations, making spontaneous trips easy.

For daily life, the area is packed with cafes, restaurants, and convenience stores. Whether you need a quick coffee refuel or a late-night bite, everything is within a 5-minute walk. The proximity to the train station also makes it incredibly convenient for students at Arts University Bournemouth (AUB), as it connects you easily to their campus. This is the definition of a high-convenience, high-energy student housing Bournemouth location.

Staff is very hospitable and friendly, and are understanding of your financial situation. The room itself is great, lots of drawer/shelf space and a carpet floor. Shower in the bathroom has had some issues where blockages have made the water rise up quickly during showers but maintenance regularly go in and help fix it even without you directly contacting them. Had a good stay so far

Thank you very much for a great stay during my course in Bournemouth 😊 All staff were so kind and helpful, and it's a friendly environment. The walls were thin so could hear noise sometimes, but value outweighs this as an issue since it's good value for short term situation in my case like being close to the train station.

Do not go here. Walls are paper thin, you can literally hear someone 2 doors away as if they were in the same room. They have a damp issue here, and they give you the bare minimum. Some of the dryers dont even work properly, they dont provide irons/ kettles and there's not even a plug by the bedside table??? And the heaters dont even heat the room up properly and not to mention the silverfish. Plus the cherry on top, you cant move the shower head, its fixed on the wall with bad water pressure. The only benefit is that the rooms are spacious, its cheaper and there is some storage but they give you the absolute bare minimum. 🫩
