Yarnfield Park Training & Conference Centre

Beautiful countryside.. but farm smell could be a bit over powering for those who have sensitive nose. Room was a bit cold at night. Facilities are clean, food was good and staff so helpful and nice.

I was down for a weeks stay at Yarnfield.
In general the room was clean but it's very outdated. You have a kettle (some work faster than others) and a tv with a variety of channels but no fridge. If you have warm water for a shower, it's usually in the evenings because there's no chance in the morning. Heat in the room is great but BEWARE... the beds are made of rocks and are tiny. I'm 5"7 and I struggled so bare that in mind. Plenty of power points for your electronics so that's not an issue.
If you're a light sleeper I'd suggest bringing ear plugs, you can hear a lot in the rooms.
The food was the best part hand's down. There were plenty of options veggie, vegan and meat eater alike although be warned, if you ask for seconds you won't get them (older guy with blonde hair, beard and a shirt will state "it's not a buffet") a suggestion would be maybe to state that somewhere rather than talking to your customers like dirt?
Food rations are tight it seems.
Still, the food gets the majority of stars here.
There is a gym and a bar which is open until 10pm. The bar has various screens/projectors for sports with 2 pool tables a ping pong table and a darts board. Unfortunately while I was down, the lads at the bar had no idea how to work the remote so we were stuck on bt sport 1 for 2 nights (which meant missing champions league football) until another customer solved the issue. A regular pint costs £4.50 and a cider will cost a bit less.
If needed there's a small shop 10mins walk away where you can pick up tinnies or things you might of forgotten.
Be prepared for a big mix of people here, it won't be quiet but that's part and parcel of a conference centre.

Welcome to Stalag Yarnfield. If you love the look and feel of an open prison then this is the place for you. Rooms small, dated and no air con. Tele the size of an ipad. Food...meh.
The gym needs ro be 3 times the size for the amount of people trying to use it. On the plus side, WiFi good and no issues with hot water.

The rooms although recently painted are bland and dated there's even a rotary phone in there not to mention no Aircon connection to the WiFi is a joke and you will be lucky if you can get Netflix to work or any streaming services I have yet to be successful. The staff go along way to making this place barrable as there all friendly and happy to help
Looking at the price they charge I am unsure as to how they justify the price per night

Rooms were not great headboard and wall appeared to have some liquid juice marks carpets were so filthy and chair had a lot of different hairs not good. Toilet had some rust am sure that’s not ok at all couldn’t sleep at all

Always provided a great conference experience. I have attended 4 conferences here and it's always been great. The service from the staff is brill. The location is good and easy to get to with plenty of free parking on site. The venue is large and spacious so allows for multiple sessions on simultaneously. The food and drink provided is always good too.

Coffee machines consistently empty, lack of beverage choice, gluten free beer not served, had to ask for gluten free options, poor allergen info

Nice little conference centre/hotel. Stayed for two days at a conference. Rooms are comfortable and clean, beds are comfy. The conference centre itself is somewhat drab, especially the bar which is actually somewhat depressing, but that’s the be expected for the price. The gym is small but does a job. The canteen was supplying food in abundance and at a good quality, there goes my New Year’s resolution! The staff are super friendly and helpful, made the whole experience. Would definitely recommend if you need a conference centre.
