Mardol House

Located just a short walk from the lecture halls and library at Guildhall, Mardol House is owned and managed by Shropshire Council. The town's shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as the River Severn, Quarry park and Theatre Severn are all a stone's throw away. The accommodation is also close to all major public transport services, including a regular bus route to Shrewsbury College's London Road campus.

A home from home

When it comes to starting university and living away from home, we know that it can be both an exciting and scary step in your life. You may be thinking about new freedoms, responsibilities, and the opportunity to explore where you'll be studying.

Mardol House is a newly renovated building with 84 secure en-suite rooms (example pictured), offering a mix of single rooms with shared kitchen, dining and lounge areas and studio apartments. Facilities include free wi-fi access, fridge, freezer, microwave, launderette and a concierge service for any maintenance and welfare needs.

Our competitively priced accommodation contracts have been developed so that you won’t have to vacate your room during the holidays.
