DAS workshop 2009

Hotel

To contact the Saffron Hotel in Saffron Walden for queries related to check in times or your accommodation http://www.saffronhotel.co.uk/findus.asp Please mention the Sanger/EBI DAS workshop in any correspondence you have.

Getting to the Hotel

The nearest train station to the hotel is Audley End (AUD) and is on a direct line between Stansted Airport and Cambridge You will need to get a cab from the station to the Hotel (about 10 minutes). You can use this number for the MasterCab taxi firm if you wish to book a cab in advance (cost to be born by attendees): 01223 579257 alternatively there are usually Taxis outside the station and there is a phone you can use to call a cab company at the station.

We will endeavour to organise minibuses from Stansted, but if we cannot organise one around the time you get into the airport - please use the information above. We regret we cannot organise picking people up from other UK airports.
