The detail

How it works in Coventry

Coventry University's campus is in the city centre and covers 33 acres. The university gained its title in 1992 but traces its origins to the Coventry School of Design, founded in 1843. It had 29,505 students in 2024/25. Humber Hub, Stoke Lodge and Stoke House, in Lower Stoke, are each about a mile by road from the university.

The University of Warwick, founded in 1965, sits on a 290-hectare campus on the south-west edge of the city and had more than 28,000 students by the end of 2023. Warwick Arts Centre, on its main campus, is the largest venue of its kind in the UK outside London. Stoke Lodge and Stoke House are about 5 miles by road from the campus and Humber Hub about 6.

A whole house is often the easiest way to bring grandparents, parents and siblings to a graduation. It also gives visiting researchers and lecturers somewhere to live and work for a few weeks or a term.

Groups and teams

A whole house costs less than the hotel rooms it replaces

Checked on 9 October 2026: six people for a week from 7 November came to £949 at Sullivan Heights booked direct, against £1,098 for three rooms at the cheapest Coventry hotel listed on Booking.com. See the comparison.

  • One booking and one invoice instead of several rooms
  • A kitchen, so meals are not on expenses every night
  • A living room to end the day in together
