Drawing Room

Our magnificent Drawing Room, with its hand-painted walls, formed the elegant setting for many scenes in the film of Agatha Christie's At Bertram's Hotel.   The small balcony overlooking the garden and the elaborate fireplace make it the perfect place for afternoon tea, pre-dinner drinks, a private party or a quiet chat with friends.

Library

The Library is a living collection of fiction, non-fiction and reference books which Members are free to borrow.   There is no time limit for the borrowing but the Library Committee do need to know where the books are, so Members are requested to sign the Borrowers' Register when removing books.

Loyalty Card

Our Loyalty Card scheme rewards Members who are frequent residents at the Club with residence points that can be used to pay for future bedroom bookings.   Request your card at Reception when you next visit, and start collecting your residence points now.   Residence points are accumulated for bedroom charges at the time of payment.   A Loyalty Card Holder may earn residence points for bedroom charges relating to both herself and her guests.   Residence points are awarded by calculating 10% of the total bedroom charge (only) and rounding down to the nearest whole number.

Residence points have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash.   A Loyalty Card Holder may redeem her accumulated residence points against the bedroom charge for any night at the Club, provided that she has accumulated sufficient residence points to cover the charge for at least one night.   There are no part cash/part residence point arrangements for single nights, although if the card holder is paying for more than one room, she may pay for some rooms by residence points and some by cash.   Residence points may be redeemed by subtracting the residence points earned from the total room bill.

The University Women's Club Loyalty Card can also be used by frequent users of our à la carte menu to collect meal points.   Click here to download the full terms and conditions for The University Women's Club Loyalty Card as a Rich Text Format document, readable by most word processing software.
