Guest Accommodation at Ridley Hall

Central location, comfortable rooms and friendly staff at affordable prices.

During term time we offer a number of rooms both en-suite and with shared bathroom facilities to those with a connection to Ridley – guests of current students and staff and alumni are welcome to enquire about availability.

Unfortunately we aren't able to offer weekend-only accommodation or to accommodate large parties. We only have a few rooms available for guests, but its central location makes Ridley Hall the perfect location for a theologically based break or a residential retreat trip. For information on longer stays for retreats, sabbaticals, study leave or career breaks, see our Refreshment Programme.

The architecture of our Victorian buildings means that rooms vary in size. Available rooms include single rooms, single/twin accessible rooms and twin rooms.
