CAT has three accommodation options on site.
We have two 18-bed Eco Cabins, the WISE building with 24 twin bedrooms, or the ‘Self Build’ house right in the heart of the centre.
Get closer to nature in CAT’s Eco Cabins. Situated adjacent to the visitor centre in a secluded private location overlooking the allotments, the Eco Cabins offer two 18-bed self-catering facilities, providing hostel-style accommodation for up to 36 students.
“An immersive learning tool”
Hot water for the cabins is generated by solar thermal panels on the grass roof as well as via the woodstove for heat and hot water. Students can collect logs and tend to the fire under close supervision.
Entering from a sheltered communal outside area between the cabins, each cabin has a welcoming open-plan living space with self-catering kitchen facilities.
There are six bedrooms in each cabin, including two singles for teachers/tutors, plus shower/wet rooms and toilets.
Other accommodation options on-site include our WISE bedrooms, offering 24 smart and comfortable twin bedded rooms in our main building in the heart of the visitor centre, and the ‘self build house’ with 16 beds in each.
