  • "The venue is locked in the evening and access is through a key fob on your room keys." if i book for 2 nights 8th and 9th July, will I able to access my room after 01:00AM 10th July?

    Once you have checked in and have your set of keys you can access the site at any time using the key fob. We close the bar to the public at 11pm and shut the venue but rooms can be accessed using the fob at anytime.
