Where to Stay
If you are planning on attending a course or a workshop at the National Design Academy and need somewhere to stay, we have a list of hotel and guest house accommodation, available from only £24 per night.
Don't worry about being on your own, as most of the students on your course will be staying at the same listed address, they often spend evenings together. An accommodation list will be sent with your booking confirmation, but here are a few that have been recommended by former students based on price, accessibility or style.
