We understand the uncertainty surrounding bookings right now, so we’d like to give you confidence when it comes to reserving your room.
If you book a room for 21/22 but Covid-19 affects your plans to stay with us, you will be able to cancel without any penalties before your contract is signed - all we'd need is proof of your change in circumstances.
We maintain a community that looks out for one another. So whether we're supporting you during booking, or pointing you in the direction of where financial aid is available to you - rest assured your wellbeing is important to us.
