Guilden Village is now managed by mys Student Living
If you’re on the lookout for student accommodation in Guildford that goes beyond the basics, Guilden Village might just be your perfect match. This well-known student living space is now proudly managed by mys Student Living, and with that comes a renewed focus on community, care and doing things better.
Guilden Village is located in Stoke Park, right in the heart of GU1. It’s just minutes from the University of Surrey, Guildford College and ACM. It’s also a great base if you’re studying at Italia Conti, PPA (Performance Preparation Academy), or EoS (English of Oxford School). Whether you’re heading into your first year, returning to study or joining a specialist course, this is university accommodation designed to support how you live and learn.
A location that connects you to everything
Guilden Village sits in a peaceful yet well-connected part of Guildford. It’s close enough to campus life, but with the calm of Stoke Park just around the corner. The University of Surrey is an easy trip thanks to the private shuttle bus or the local cycle paths. Guildford College and ACM are just as easy to reach, while regular public transport links mean Italia Conti, PPA and EoS are also well within reach.
You’ll also have quick access to Guildford train station, the town centre and plenty of green space, making it easy to balance study with time to recharge.
Room choices that suit different lifestyles
At Guilden Village, no two students need to live the same way. That’s why there are different room types to choose from, depending on how much space and privacy you’re after.
You can go for an ensuite room, which gives you a private bedroom and bathroom, with a shared kitchen and social space. Or you might prefer a studio, where you’ll have everything to yourself including your own kitchen. Studios come in standard, premium and deluxe options. If you’re moving in with friends or want a more homely feel, the townhouse option gives you shared communal spaces with a smaller, close-knit group.
All rooms are fully furnished with a bed, desk, chair, storage space and wardrobe. Ensuite kitchens are shared and fully equipped, while studios come with private kitchenettes that include a hob, fridge freezer and microwave.
One simple price with everything included
We believe that student accommodation should be easy to manage, especially when it comes to your budget. That’s why all bills are included in your rent. This covers electricity, water, heating, high-speed internet and contents insurance. No extra costs. No surprise charges. Just one all-inclusive price that makes things simple and stress-free.
Facilities that support both study and life
When you move into Guilden Village, you’re not just getting a room. You’re joining a community, with facilities that help you feel settled, focused and connected. There’s a fully equipped gym on site, perfect for keeping active without leaving home. For study time, there are quiet study rooms and private workspaces to help you concentrate when deadlines are close.
When it’s time to relax, you can head to the cinema room, enjoy the games lounge, or spend time on the rooftop terrace with views over Guildford. The communal lounges and private dining rooms are perfect for socialising, whether you’re cooking a meal with friends or joining one of the regular events organised on site. There’s also a laundry room and secure bike storage to help keep daily life running smoothly.
Support you can rely on
Student life has its ups and downs, and it’s important to know someone’s there when you need help. Guilden Village has a full on-site team available for general support and maintenance, and staff are available 24 hours a day for emergencies. If anything goes wrong in your room or shared space, you can report it quickly and easily. The team will be there to get things sorted without delay.
A safe place to live
Your safety matters. Guilden Village has secure fob-entry doors and CCTV throughout the property, so you can feel confident and at ease at all times. With staff available on site at all hours, and secure spaces for your bike and belongings, you’re supported whether it’s day or night.
Easy access to town, campus and beyond
Getting around is simple. The private shuttle bus runs regularly to the University of Surrey, and there are local bus routes and cycle paths that connect you to all parts of Guildford. Guildford train station is nearby too, with quick access into London and surrounding towns. If you need to bring a car, parking is limited and must be booked in advance, but most students find there’s no need with the transport options on offer.
Flexible policies that give peace of mind
We know that sometimes things change. That’s why Guilden Village offers a No Place, No Pay and No Visa, No Pay policy. If your university place isn’t confirmed or your visa is declined, you can cancel your booking without penalty. It’s part of our commitment to doing what’s right for students and removing the stress when plans shift unexpectedly.
Tenancy options that work around you
Most students choose a 44- or 51-week contract, depending on their course and plans. If you’re looking for a shorter stay, such as a summer let or flexible tenancy, there may be availability depending on the time of year. Just get in touch with our team and we’ll talk through your options.
Are pets allowed?
Pets aren’t allowed at Guilden Village, but if you have a registered assistance or support animal, you’re welcome to bring them with the right documentation in place.
A place to study and connect
Guilden Village is designed with both your academic and social life in mind. The quiet study rooms and private corners are perfect for getting focused, while the shared lounges, dining spaces and events bring the social side of university to life. It’s all about finding the balance that works for you, and being part of a community that helps you feel at home.
