The 'Cambridge' suite was the perfect suite to our requirements very roomy and lots of natural daylight. Lunch was nice. Very good location.

The coffee machine kept not working properly and all the coffees were luke warm. We mentioned to staff to only be told it was fine.

Very friendly staff. Quiet, unique building. Plenty of private communal space for private calls. Had our own private wifi network for security reasons. They provided stationary, pens, flip charts etc. which we didn't need to use but was helpful to have anyway. We had an issue connecting to the smart TV in the meeting room but their IT team were SO quick to help us out and resolve the issue. The location is close to loads of nice spots for lunch. Would book again for sure.

Great room and COVID safe measures were very visible and made delegates feel very safe. Good projector. Efficient Air Con

The room did not have any blinds so when the sun shone through it caused the image to fade. Blinds would be ideal as the projector was good quality. Catering was very basic due to COVID restrictions.
