"This facility provides rooms at a higher level than Premier Inn, but at a fraction of the "actual" price you will pay at a Premier Inn and it is half board."

My recent stay at the hotel was quite a mixed bag. The cleanliness and room conditions were below expectations, which dampened my experience, especially considering the overall price. However, I found the dining options to be surprisingly good and the staff were generally friendly. The location is also convenient for conferences, but improvements are definitely needed in the accommodations.

Yarnfield offers a beautiful setting and modern, comfortable rooms that cater well to business events. While the conference facilities are spacious and well-organized, the dining options could benefit from more variety, particularly for dietary restrictions. Overall, it's a practical choice for corporate needs but may not be ideal for a leisure stay due to the basic nature of some accommodations.

I had a pleasant stay at this conference center, experiencing marked improvements over the past few years. The food was a highlight, with varied options and delicious dishes, while the room was satisfactory but could use a little work on bed comfort.
