Cranfield Management Centre

Very pleasant one night stay in modern bright training centre located within a University campus. The room was modern, exceptionally clean and extremely comfortable. The centre itself is quiet and has an excellent bar area which serves a good selection of food. I sampled the burger and fries which was excellent. Priced around £15 as a guide. Overall an excellent choice for a one night stay on a reasonable budget. Please be aware that the location is a little isolated with no local shops. Highly recommended.

Slightly tricky to find the actual entrance to reception, but apart from that, it was a great place to stay and I'd stay again.

I returned for graduation at the university campus and was recignised and given a very warm welcome. All my guests and i had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, clean rooms, well stocked tea and coffee with water fountains close by. Great to easily charge my EV, at a very reasonable cost. Breakfast catered for all of our various dietary requirements.
