For students in Gloucestershire, moving in and out of accommodation at the start and end of term can be a logistical headache. Whether you’re studying in Cheltenham, Gloucester, or nearby towns, finding a secure, affordable place to store your belongings during the holidays can make your life much easier.

At William Gilder Group, we provide flexible and secure student storage solutions designed to take the stress out of university breaks. If you’re searching for student storage in Gloucestershire, here’s what you need to know.


Why Students Need Storage Over the Holidays

1. Avoid the Hassle of Moving Everything Home

Travelling home with all your books, clothes, furniture, and personal items is rarely practical—especially if you’re heading overseas or don’t have access to a car. Student storage allows you to leave everything safely stored near your university.

2. Simplify the Moving Process

Whether you’re switching between halls and a house share, or returning to a different accommodation after the break, storage makes it easy to transition without transporting everything across the country.

3. Save Money on Transport

Avoid costly removals or multiple train journeys with heavy bags. With a storage unit, you can store your belongings locally at an affordable price.


What to Look for in Student Storage

1. Location

Choose a storage facility that’s easily accessible from your university. Our storage units are located conveniently in North Gloucestershire, making them ideal for students at:

  • University of Gloucestershire (Cheltenham and Gloucester campuses)
  • Hartpury University
  • Gloucestershire College

2. Flexible Rental Terms

Students don’t need long-term contracts. That’s why we offer short-term storage options perfect for term breaks, summer holidays, or year abroad programmes.

3. Security & Peace of Mind

We know how important your belongings are. Our facilities offer:

  • 24/7 CCTV surveillance
  • Gated access with individual codes
  • Lockable, secure units

4. Affordable Prices

Storage shouldn’t break the student budget. We offer competitive rates and flexible unit sizes so you only pay for the space you need.


Popular Items Students Store During Breaks
