Ashburne Hall is a pleasant, old-fashioned hall of residence, set in the grounds of a 19" century Grade 2-listed merchant's house. All rooms have a washbasin, hand towel and bath towel. There are showers, baths and toilets on every floor. Each room is provided with a supply of tea/coffee/milk (although kettles are situated in the pantry on the corridor). The grounds provide adequate parking. Although, sadly, there are no longer bar facilities available on site, the surrounding area offers the full spectrum of drinking possibilities.
