Away from the noise and hubbub, our light, airy and comfortable bedrooms ensure a great night's sleep. Their large windows overlook the green of lawns, trees and open countryside, blurring the boundary between inside and outside. We can accommodate over 350 delegates.
Two hundred and fifty of our rooms have en-suite facilities and all have internet access, so you need never be out of touch with the world. We provide tea and coffee-making facilities, towels and toiletries. Whatever your accommodation requirements, we provide the service you need.
Staying at St Catherine's is a pleasure in itself, and is a perfect accompaniment to your conference programme. We offer our guests an ideal environment to relax and re-charge, allowing them to get the best from their time with us.
Arrival & Check-in
Bedrooms are generally available from 2.00pm on the day of arrival. Delegates should report to reception and collect keys to their rooms. Room keys are issued to delegates from reception on an individual basis. The College does not operate a hotel keyboard system and delegates are asked to keep their keys during their stay.
Departure & Check-out
Delegates and organisers are asked to vacate their bedrooms and return their keys to reception by 10.00 am on the morning of their departure. For most people, this will mean after breakfast - ie before the first conference session of that day. A charge of £20 will be incurred if a key is not handed in by 10.00am, and an additional day's charge will be incurred if a room is not vacated in time for it to be ready for the next guest. Luggage may be left in the luggage room in reception.
Bedroom facilities
Coffee and tea making facilities are provided in all bedrooms, together with soap, linen and towels.
Internet Access
Wired and wireless internet access is available in all bedrooms. For wired access, computers should be set to automatically obtain an IP address by DHCP. Users need an Ethernet patch lead which should be plugged into any ODD numbered network socket. The sockets are situated in the skirting board of each room.
Delegates can either use their own leads, or they are available to buy for £5 from the Porter's Lodge. For wireless access, users need a user name and password, which they should get from their conference organiser. It should be noted that the reception quality of wireless access may vary in some rooms, depending on vicinity to a transmitter.
We regret that we are unable to provide technical support for this service since we make no charge for it.
