Find us on the map here.

Please note that timings may vary at peak travel times.

If you have booked onto a residential course, you will be staying in one of our comfortable en-suite bedrooms. Many of our rooms look out onto our grounds, the Vale of Berkeley and beyond.

All bedrooms have flat screen digital TVs with Freeview offering a wide choice of radio and television stations. Free WiFi is available, however, please note that due to the nature of our Victorian buildings, WiFi coverage and speeds may vary.

We will always do our best to offer accommodation for our delegates at Eastwood Park; however, there are occasions when this is not possible. If necessary, we will arrange accommodation for delegates for either part or the whole of their stay at an alternative hotel nearby with a taxi to and from Eastwood Park each day, at no extra cost.
