Accommodation and Directions
All non-Exeter participants are being accommodated on campus at Holland Hall (http://www.exeter.ac.uk/virtualtours/accommodationbroadband/holland.shtml) which is very close to the Physics Building. Everyone has an ensuite room including brearkfast at a cost £34.95 per night. You will be expected to pay for your accommodation at the Holland Hall Porter's Lodge. The Porter's Lodge is open from 10am to 10pm and accepts cash or credit cards. Those people arriving after 10pm will need to go to the Estate Patrol office at Northcott House (number 12 on the map below) to collect your keys. You will then need to pay for your accommodation in the morning. If you are arriving by taxi you may wish to have the taxi wait while you get the key before carrying on to Holland Hall.
See the table below for the nights your accommodation has been booked for (Monday and Tuesday means you are arriving on Monday and leaving on Wednesday).
