Each bedroom is equipped with a large single bed, desk, wardrobe and ensuite shower. Guests will enjoy free Wi-Fi, towels and toiletries. Complimentary tea and coffee will also be provided.
Prices for a one-night stay will start from £67.50 per room, with a 2-night minimum stay applying on Fridays and Saturdays.
Helen Power-Hosking, Head of Commercial Services, said:
“We are excited to launch our short stay offering on campus, opening our doors to visitors and the public, providing a unique opportunity for a comfortable stay and a chance to experience campus life firsthand.
“This innovative approach will ensure we continue to utilise our resources effectively, optimising the use of our existing infrastructure to diversify our income streams.
