Stay your way | Short-term student accommodation

Student and shared accommodation in central Cambridge is in high demand, and so second and third year students will start searching for student accommodation for the following year from October. However, you will find accommodation available all year round, though your choices may be limited if leaving it too close to the start of the autumn term. 

A benefit of staying at Locke, is that long-term accommodation is available year round, and you won't be tied into a year-long contract. You won't need to book half a year in advance (unless you want to), and there's no strict dates for starting or ending your stay. This means you can stay for as short or as long as you need - whether that's a few months while you look for something more permanent, or a single term during exam season. We can be as flexible as you are.

No - we aren't a traditional rental accommodation provider, and therefore no contracts are required. Our apartment rates are charged daily, so you can get all the flexibility of and home comforts of your own student apartment, without the hassle of reference checks and other paperwork. 

Note that unlike a shorthold tenancy, we maintain the right to ask you to leave or relocate you to a different apartment at any time (for example, if a property is due to undergo renovations). It's worth checking our full T&Cs before you agree to booking.

Yes, it's possible to live at Locke on a termly basis, so you only have to pay for the time you're actually staying with us.

We also can't guarantee you'll always be able to return to the same apartment, because each term will count as a new booking. However, if you let us know this is important to you, we will do our best to accommodate your request.
