I visit my son and family regularly and this was the first time I have stayed at the fire college. I booked through Booking.com and there is also free cancellation should you need to use it I generally stay at one of the hotels in the town centre, but they are now becoming so expensive for just an overnight stay. I have to say I was very pleased with the room and overall cleanliness. It does have a hotel feel to it. The sheets and towels were sparkling white, and the whole room and bathroom was very clean. The location is excellent and obviously there is a designated parking space. As a solo female traveller it was nice to have the added on site security. Beacuse of it being the fire college there is a manned security barrier to go through but you are issued a pass for this to allow you to come and go. I found the area around the block I stayed in peaceful and quiet, although I didn't know how busy the rooms were whilst I was there. The wi-fi is free , and there is also a safe should you need it. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and hand wash and shower gel was provied. But be avised if you need a hairdryer I think you have to ask for one or take your own. It does say on the website that there is a fitness centre etc, and vending machines. I'm not sure of allocations and of paments etc. To be honest I didn't ask and also not informed on arrival. What I also liked was that it does ask for you to vacate your room by 9am but you can ask for a longer checkout time which I did. You can call or email them. Overall, this was just perect for me as I felt safe and central to Moreton in Marsh, which you could walk to as just about a mile away, and it's also not too far from my family I would definately recommend to friends and family (which I just have) and would definately stay here again.

I didn't ask about the other amenities or breakfast and vending machines which was on the website

All the additional extras like shampoo, wash, towels, kitchen kettle. Located on each floor is a small communal kitchen with microwaves and a seperate laundry room freely with washing machine, 2 dryers and iron and board. There is also a communal seating area on each of our floors. Location was a mile and half from Aldi and town centre. On sire is a swimming pool with we didn't get chance to use but would highly recommend as a base to explore.There is a small shop with basics and bar, also breakfast is available but limited times so didn't get to make use of these. The campus is very quiet and peaceful, gates access onto and off of site which adds additional safety element. We will be returning to explored with the family. All staff are welcoming and helpful, the security and bar staff were extremely helpful and went above and beyond. Check in was very simple and check out was just as easy

The main entrance doors could benefit from disabeled push buttons as struggled personally due to herniated discs, the rooms could do with occupied/not today signs as had someone try and get in to the room. 2 keys would be handy as we ending locking ourselves out at 1am which was our own fault and can't not thank security enough for there quick response, we didn't realise that there was a phone on each level so could have saved ourselves a walk but again this is our own fault. The manuals in the rooms aren't reflective on shop openings etc and could benefit from a quick update. Air con would be the only thing but these are more specific issues we had due to health issues.

The accommodation was very clean, beds were really good and the site was quiet. It was very easy to pick up the keys and represented good value for money for the area.

It is advertised as having a gym, swimming pool etc etc. However, the rooms are available to the general public at the weekend when the opening hours are 8am to about midday. Moreover, it is when repairs and cleaning are performed so in reality these facilities are not really available. Also bear in mind the site has the feel of a deserted University campus during recess which means it is quiet but also a little isolated.

Location

The property is adequate a few minor issues (light over bathroom mirror not working and out of reach for short people, shower screen not effective causing flooding, bedside light not effective) needs some maintenance. Worst of all was the attitude of the receptionist, curt and minimalist. We were not warned that the restaurant was not available and she didn’t volunteer the info until asked . Some training required.

Extremely helpful staff. Comfortable, clean, quiet, lovely grounds, great price. Bookings people and manager were excellent. Thank goodness because Booking.com were awful!

Could have done with nets or blinds on ground floor windows because people walked past right outside and looked in! Breakfast - only option was £13 full breakfast when all we wanted was coffee and pastry. We went into Moreton for breakfast.

The keys were handed over to us at the main gate at around midnight. This was without any hassle. It was easy to locate the rooms & check in. The vibe of the place was nice - a lively campus in the middle of beautiful english country side. The rooms have all the basic amenities. The bathrooms were big enough by UK standards.

The accomodation is a bit far away from the main urban centers like Oxford.

The College accommodation was very quiet and felt secure with controlled entrance with 24 hour attendants. Moreton is very close with a good choice of places to eat.

The required 9 am departure time wasn't ideal, but Moreton is very close with lots of places offering breakfast even on a Bank Holiday. A simple map of the site showing parking and accommodation location would have been helpful on arrival.

It was comfortable, quiet and secure 😌

I think it was a bit difficult as someone who doesn't drive to get into town. It's not a bad walk, but as there were no food facilities, I had to go back into town if I needed anything, but it would not put me off returning. Just need to be organised. There was a kitchen and microwave in the building that I stayed in.

Can't really fault it. It's on the base of a fire college. Felt really safe as there is a manned security barrier at the entrance. So peaceful, and relaxing. Poor mobile signal, but was kinda nice to be off the grid

Pillows were too high for me, but I prefer a lower flatter pillow....however that's my personal preference and doesnt reflect the badly on the quality of the accommodation room, and no marks lost because of that.

The accommodation clearly states where its located, out of time... but the place was peaceful, spacious, clean: just what we needed after a long day's hike. Good value for money

We got all we expected... dont stay here if you need town services. We loved everything, except for the little flow of cold water in the bathroom: it was hot hot shower
