Accommodation We have access to a range of accommodation in and around Marlborough. The Ivy House Hotel is a typical privately owned market town hotel offering a good standard of dining and accommodation. It is located right in the centre of Marlborough High Street. We also have a very varied selection of bed and breakfast accommodation in locations as varied as modest private homes to a sumptuous farm house on a very grand scale. A number of these are locacted within a short walk of the teaching venue and the high street. We are very careful to select providers who are friendly, willing to interact with their guests and have copious supplies of hot water for bathing. If required, we can also arrange "host families" within walking distance of the town centre. We will carefully vet each host family to ensure suitability for individual clients. It is also possible to arrange self catering accommodation reasonably close to Marlborough. Transport The main railway station giving access to London is about 10 minutes away by taxi. London is readily accessible from here and is an ideal place to spend a weekend during the course. If London is the next point on the travel itinerary there a good choice of transportation.
