Rooms and accommodation
Our bedrooms are spread across three buildings at the Cambridge Centre. They're all en-suite, with a desk, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryers and towels. All rooms have access to free WiFi, which is available across the Centre.
The rooms are a mixture of singles, twins and triples. Depending on your course, you may be sharing a room with a fellow student. This will all be organised prior to your arrival.
We have one fully accessible ground floor room, suitable for any guest with visual, hearing or mobility impairments.
Throughout your stay there will be members of the Villiers Park team staying within the accommodation for your safety and supervision.
Food and drink
We know that food is a very important part of your visit and we take pride in serving you tasty and nutritious meals. We have a brilliant on-site team of chefs who will provide you with a continental breakfast and a hot lunch (or a packed lunch if you're out on a visit) and dinner every day.
The food is all freshly prepared on site and a buffet including salad and a bowl of fruit is provided with every lunchtime and evening meal. All meals are served in the communal dining room in a relaxed, social environment.
There is always a meat or vegetarian choice, and our team will cater to all dietary requirements, including allergies. If you did not specify any special requirements on your course form, please email
vp@villierspark.org.uk prior to your arrival so the team can be made aware.
Our kitchen is awarded with the highest hygiene rating of 5 by the Food Standards Agency. Our chefs are regularly praised for the quality and standard of the food.
