Stayed here for one night while attending a wedding at the Centre. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left you could not fault the staff, whether it was in reception, during the wedding or at breakfast, they were exceptional, friendly and helpful.
The rooms were, as the heading goes, far better than expected. As the management centre is part of the university I was expecting "college type" accommodation with minimum facilities. The actual finding was far greater than this, the room we had was, in my opinion, at the same level as Premier Inn and the breakfast was exceptional. The rooms were clean and tidy and the bathroom had great facilities with a large walk in shower with soap, shampoo and shower gel all provided, as was C&T facilities in the room with two good size mugs. The bed and linen were very comfortable and provided a great night’s sleep. The towels in the bathroom were large, comfy and soft!!
As highlighted, we were here for a wedding and considering it was "mass catering" to a large group the quality of food was exceptional and the staffing levels were more than enough to cope adequately with all the guests. This led to a wonderful event that I am sure the bride and groom would have been very happy with.
On the morning of departure we had the breakfast, and there was something f or everyone, one of the best breakfasts I have had in this level of accommodation.
My only gripe would be that the place is like a rabbit warren and you have to have your wits about you to find your room, I would say this place is not the place to stay for someone who has walking difficulties, or if you have problems getting about call them first to see if they have an appropriate room. The centre was also very warm in the rooms, breakfast and corridors as there is no air con.
Overall, it is a good place to stay at a very reasonable price and you won’t find better staff anywhere, in my opinion!
Thanks for a great weekend!
