Belaton House

Belaton House is owned and operated by BU's accommodation partner, Yugo, who will be your landlord and you will pay your rent to them and not BU. Any queries or issues you might have during your time will be dealt with by Yugo's dedicated on-site team.

Yugo has signed Belaton House up to The National Code, which has been developed to encourage the highest possible standards of student accommodation provided by large private operators. Find out more about The National Code and how it benefits you.

ResLifeBU is an exclusive programme, only available in BU accommodation, designed to help you enjoy your time in student accommodation to the fullest. 

Our ResLifeBU Team supports you across three core areas:

• Social – providing inclusive activities and events to help you meet your fellow students and build a great community
• Wellbeing – supporting your welfare, health, safety and overall comfort and security
• Skills – everything you need for your new independent life, from how to keep your flat clean, to cooking an affordable and healthy meal and tips on managing your budget.

£1.50 of your weekly rent goes towards funding the programme – but if you make the most of it, you’ll find it’s worth so much more than that.

Belaton House is based on our Lansdowne Campus, within easy walking distance of all our academic buildings in Lansdowne, with buses to and from our Talbot campus picking up and dropping off just outside, so you should never be late for a lecture! 

It is just a short walk from the town centre and the bars, clubs and restaurants that are popular with students, including The Old Fire Station, which is run by the Students' Union (SUBU) who host regular live music events and club nights, so you'll never be short of things to do in your spare time.

It’s directly opposite the main Bournemouth train station and the large Asda supermarket in central Bournemouth, making it very easy to pick up your grocery shopping and household essentials.

Finally, you are a short walk from the stunning beach, which is great for sun bathing and swimming during those warm summer months and even better for a dramatic blowy beach walk in the winter.

The U1 university bus service picks up from outside and takes between 10 and 15 minutes to get to our Talbot Campus. Your annual bus pass can be included in your rent so you can use these services as much as you need throughout the year, although you can opt out of this at the point of booking if you choose.

Your annual bus pass also includes unlimited travel on Morebus zone A services, spanning the wider Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch area. 

If cycling is more your thing then the site has secure bike storage and is just a 10-minute ride to the Talbot Campus, where again there is ample secure storage.

And if you're travelling further afield, the main train and bus station is just minutes away, with trains running into London Waterloo taking approximately two hours.

Belaton House has communal spaces, providing you with plenty of options to get out of your flat and mix with others in the building.  

If you want to socilaise, game or just chill out in front of a film, there is a common room in the building with soft seating for you and your friends.

If you need to get some work done, then there is also a study room for personal or group work.

As well as all this, there is also a cinema room where you can watch the latest flims, an on-site gym to keep fit and healthy, and surf board storage so that all important piece of beach kit isn't filling up your bedroom!

All of your bills are included in your weekly rent, so you have nothing further to pay.
