Hotels

We choose that are 'user-friendly, and reasonably priced. We do not normally negotiate special rates with our venue, finding that advance purchase rates booked on the internet are often better.

In Newcastle and Aberdeen the courses are run in the associated hotel.

In Harrogate, the closest hotel to the venue is the Best Western Cedar Court Hotel. It can be booked directly (not through an agent) at a special 'Belzona rate', which is very reasonable. It is within 5 minutes drive, and can be walked in about 20 minutes.

In Manchester, the most convenient hotels are in Ashton-under-Lyne, either the Village Hotel (more expensive) or the Travelodge. Both are directly on a metro (tram) line which goes within 100 metres walk of the venue.
