Option One - St. Clare's Student Accommodation

Other Options

• If you are interested in booking accommodation other than at St. Clare's, then we really recommend that you book directly with the hotel or guest house.
• However, if you prefer, we can do this for you.

Option Two - Guest House Accommodation booked for you by St Clare's
