The rooms and prices
Belaton House offers a genuine choice of Classic and Premium en-suite rooms within 5- to 8-bed shared flats, a Classic Studio for those who want full independence, and a Standard 2-Bed Flat for students who want to live with just one other person. En-suite rooms range from around 12.2 to 18.7 square meters and come with a small double bed, dedicated desk space, and storage, with flatmates sharing a modern kitchen and living area. The 2-bed flats sit higher in the building for better views, and each resident gets their own en-suite bathroom alongside a shared kitchen-dining area. Rent is all-inclusive. Guide prices for 2026/27 start from around £190 per week, so confirm current rates and room type at booking.
Location and getting around
Belaton House sits in the heart of Bournemouth's Lansdowne area, a genuine 5-minute walk from Lansdowne Campus, with Talbot Campus and Arts University Bournemouth reachable in around 15 to 18 minutes by bus. The building is directly opposite Bournemouth's main train station and a large Asda superstore, making both travel and grocery shopping straightforward. The town center, beach, and nightlife, including venues like The Old Fire Station, are all within easy reach on foot. My tip: reviews consistently praise Belaton House's location as being genuinely close to both the town center and the beach, while still being an easy bus ride from Talbot Campus, which is worth weighing if you want the best of both a central base and campus access.

The honest picture
Belaton House's strengths are a genuinely central Lansdowne location directly opposite the train station and a large Asda, a strong amenity set including a gym and cinema room, and consistently warm reviews praising the location and helpful, understanding staff. The honest counterpoint: at 15 to 18 minutes by bus, Talbot Campus and Arts University Bournemouth students have a genuine commute rather than a walk, so it suits Lansdowne-based students most directly. As always, confirm your specific room type and current price before booking, since rooms sell out quickly according to resident reviews.
Who Belaton House, Bournemouth, suit?
Strong fit: students who want to be genuinely close to Lansdowne Campus, the train station, and a major supermarket; those who value a strong social scene with a pool and table tennis on site; students who want the choice of a 2-bed flat to live with just one flatmate.
Weaker fit: Talbot Campus or Arts University Bournemouth students who want a short walk rather than a bus journey and those who want to book late, since rooms are reported to sell out quickly.
