Accommodation:
B and B
There is a wide variety of accommodation available depending on whether you are on your own or staying with your family. If you wish to stay in the village the most convenient is right next door at 2 Harton Manor. This is a friendly and relaxed B and B, where Merlyn offers VERY special rates to our students [single room £22 and £110 for 5 nights] and long term lodgings for the 12 week students. Highly recommended.
