The Manchester Didsbury Travelodge Hotel is a 4-story modern building.

The rooms are twin or triple with modern facilities. Every room has its own en-suite bathroom housing a bath and showering facilities. There is a remote controlled TV in every room (a channel restriction will be in operation during the Residential) Also for older players there will be complimentary tea and coffee making facilities. Towels will be provided. The double and triple rooms are Travelodge family rooms which consist of a double bed, a bed settee and a pull out bed on a base. These beds are superior to the student accommodation that we have used in the past but we cannot guarantee any player that they will necessarily be allocated the double bed. The double beds are made up, while the sofa bed and pull out bed linen is available for players to make on arrival.

It is NOT recommended that you bring expensive electrical items and portable phones to the school. All money, passports and travel documents may be left in the BCSSA Bank which can be accessed daily.
