Payment directly to the bus driver.

For those of you arriving between midnight and 7.30 a.m., arrangements will be made for the keys on an individual basis.

The rooms are all situated in  Holgate House . Most of them are single rooms with en-suite shower and toilet. Linen and towels are provided, and there are tea and instant coffee facilities in each room. There are a couple of double rooms with the possibility of an extra bed for a child.
 
The Botanic Gardens, directly South of Grey College, are well worth a visit, as well as the Oriental Museum, West of Grey College, across South Road.
