Accommodation
The former cells of the Old Courthouse have been transformed into small
single bedrooms which are available for visitors for short periods.
Normally we have only three or four cells available for guests, so
please book well in advance.
The current price of £25 (£15 for Friends of Jamyang)
includes breakfast.
As a
Buddhist centre, we expect visitors to abide by five main rules:
* No killing (including animals)
* No stealing
* No lying
* No alcohol or drugs
* No sexual activity
Please arrive
during normal opening hours of the
centre:
* Monday to Thursday: 2 pm - 6 pm. Evening classes usually from 7.30 pm
to 9.00pm
* Friday: closed except for pujas and special events
* Saturday and Sunday: open as listed in the programme, times may vary
The cells
The cells are small (approximately 7.5 ft by 5 ft), warm and private.
Bedding and towel are provided.
The facilities
Guests use a shared bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen. The room
rate includes self-service continental breakfast in the kitchen. Guests
are free to use the Shrine Room and Library. We
don’t offer a laundry facility, but there is a launderette
nearby, and a phone box just outside the centre.
Cancellation
We require 24 hours’ notice of cancellation.
Checking in
Please check in between 2-6 pm. If this isn’t possible we
will need advance warning to ensure there is someone on duty to greet
you, so let us know your estimated time of arrival in advance. Once you
have checked in, you’ll have your own keys. Please
pay in full when you arrive.

Where
to find us
Conduct
at Jamyang
Guests are asked to observe and
refrain from killing, lying, stealing, any form of sexual activity, and
taking intoxicants (alcohol or drugs). The building is a
no-smoking
area. One of the cellblock's functions is to provide retreat
space, so
we need you to be as quiet and considerate as possible, and in
particular not to listen to music except through headphones and in
private.
The maximum duration of your stay is one week. Unfortunately we
can’t accommodate children under 16.
Please
confirm your stay with a member of office staff and send 50% of the
cost of your stay as a deposit by cheque or pay by card with the office.
