Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Park Barn, Guildford

The house is in an ideal location, right behind the Tesco superstore and only about a 15 minute walk to either campus. The neighbours were both older couples and were very friendly and helpful, they always took parcels in for us. Unfortunately no properties have parking down greville close, and with the road being so close to the hospital it was always full of hospital staff parking. This meant if you were to park in the middle of the day during the week it was almost impossible to do, people park on the kerb and on the corners. Unfortunately there was also a neighbour who left snotty notes on cars for parking on the kerb but when you live down the road you don’t have much choice. Park barn is not the best area at all in Guildford, we had a night where someone tried to get into the property and the walk way between the road and Tesco is quite sketchy at night. The house is tucked away so it is fairly quiet but due to it having a secluded walk way you never knew who was walking through. The area had many buses running meaning it had good links to Guildford town and the trainstation.

The area is very calm, which we prefer as we do not particularly like the chaos of town centre.
