We use the facilities on a regular basis as NICVA meets our requirements for conducting interviews and also for staff training purposes. There are a variety of different sized rooms available which are clean and bright and well-equipped.

Usually the catering is very good but on one occasion there was very little choice and on another we did not get exactly what we had ordered, that is the reason I have given it 4 rather than 5 stars.

I would recommend these facilities to other voluntary or community agencies needing a multi-pupose venue to accomodate their staff/ volunteers in terms of training or recruitment.

My purpose in writing is to record the group's grateful appreciation for all your help and support. We could not have achieved charitable status without your expertise. Many thanks for all that you have done.

I want to express my sincere thanks to your staff for all their help and support in making our annual Men's Health Conference such a success. Please pass on our thanks to the staff who went out of their way to accommodate us and ensure the smooth running of the event. Their professionalism and freindliness were much commented on by all those who attended.

I look forward to working with the NICVA team in the future.

Very slick audio visual facilities - automated light dimming and screen drop down. They were the best the trainer had seen (and he has presented around the world) and allowed us to toggle between DVD and Powerpoint seamlessly.

Unfortunately the wifi wasn't working the day we were there. Slight gripe on the catering front - vegetarian sandwiches were just salad fillings.

Very helpful, pleasant staff who were on hand the entire day to help with technical needs and were flexible about our refreshment timings. Very good value for money.
