Huddersfield Hotels

We would recommend conference delegates book the Huddersfield Central Premier Inn as this is only a 5 minute walk from campus. 
If you book early rooms start at only £35.
 
A little further but still a short walk away is the Travelodge which has advanced purchase rooms starting at £31.
 
If however you would prefer to stay further from the town centre and explore some of the beautiful areas surrounding Huddersfield you may find one of these hotels more appealing:

315 Bar and Restaurant, Lepton, Huddersfield, HD8 0LX
The Woodman, Thunder Bridge Ln, Kirkburton, Huddersfield, HD8 0PX
Cedar Court Hotel, Ainley Top, Lindley Moor Road, Huddersfield, HD3 3RH
Briar Court Hotel, Halifax Rd, Huddersfield, HD3 3NT
