Hostel

The Kenyon can provide accommodation to CBRL members and, for shorter stays, other guests.

Up to 11 people can stay in the hostel, in a mixture of single, double and shared rooms. These are built around a central salon, which has a drinks fridge, bookshelves, cable television, and a log fire for the winter. All rooms are well fitted for study, with desks and wireless internet (which also covers most of the institute balconies and garden). Sheets, duvets, blankets and towels are provided, and the hostel is cleaned four times a week. Residents share two bathrooms; there is a washing machine and dryer available for use.

Residents cook for themselves in a large, well-equipped kitchen on the ground floor, where they have their own fridge and cupboard space. A small self-service breakfast is provided, and the kitchen is kept stocked with basic supplies: tea, coffee, milk, bread, preserves, spices etc.
