Facilities
It
is with a joyful heart that each guest is greeted at Toddhall. We have attempted
to create a ‘home away from home’ atmosphere here, with convenient
facilities for workshops, lectures and discussion groups.
Six
separate meeting rooms (accommodating from 12 to 120 persons) and a beautiful
chapel, complete with Wicks Pipe Organ, provide multi-use options. Each meeting
room is equipped with restrooms, coffee bar and a full array of optional audio-
visual equipment.
Forty-five
sleeping rooms, housed in two lodges, may be single, double or triple occupancy,
depending on your needs. Each room has a private bath and individually controlled
thermostat. All linens are provided.
Also
available are The Executive Suite (two double beds, bath, kitchenette, and living room),
and Tyndale House, the five bedroom former home of our founders, Charles and Virginia Todd, which is now used for groups up to a maximum of twelve people.
Toddhall’s
total sleeping capacity, including sofa-sleepers and rollaways, is one hundred and twenty five.
Hearty
home-cooked meals are served cafeteria style in a communal dining room, with
an
enclosed private space for those groups requiring silence or privacy.
