Frequently Asked Questions
When am I due to check out?
After your time with them at the accommodation I am sure it will be difficult to leave them behind! Your latest check out date is the end date of your tenancy. You are able to leave prior to your tenancy end date, you will just need to sign at Reception to inform the onsite property team that you have left and do not intend on returning.
What do I need to do to check out?
You will need to ensure that your room (and kitchen) is left clean, tidy and free of waste. All of your items need to be removed, with the room left in the same condition that you found it. You simply then will need to sign at Reception to say that you have left
What is the latest time for my check out?
You will need to check with the onsite team in advance of your checkout, usually the check out time is 14:00
What happens if I left something in my room after I have checked out?
Once you have left your room and checked out you should have taken all of your items with you, therefore all the items left behind are disposed of without liability. You must ensure that all of your items are taken with you.
Can you store my luggage for me once I have left?
No. They are not able to store any items following your departure so you will need to take them all with you, or organise for a storage company to assist
Can I leave my items in my room if I have rebooked for next year?
If you have rebooked for next year however your current tenancy ends before the beginning of your next tenancy, then you will need to speak to the onsite team to have a summer short stay tenancy to fill in this gap.
I forgot to add something onto my inventory form, will I be charged?
Yes most likely you will be, the inventory form is sent out so that you can add any issues when you move in. The onsite team also do a full inspection of the rooms prior to your arrival. Please do speak to your onsite team if you have any questions
An item in the kitchen has been broken, will I be charged for it?
The Accommodation does charge for damages in the rooms and communal areas. In the kitchen this is a shared space with shared responsibilities and unless one person takes full responsibility (and therefore the full charge), then this will be split between all people in the cluster.
When will the onsite team need access to my room / kitchen?

As a part of your tenancy you will have inspections 3 / 4 times a year, these are organised by the onsite team who will give you prior notice.
My room does not look exactly like the website – can I move?
All of the images on their website show the representation of the rooms and room types in the accommodation, and are for marketing purposes only. Your room will have the same fixtures, fittings and equipment although it may be in a slightly different set up or layout.
