 B&B at St Elphin's
The main school building which has been sandblasted back to its original state (right), is now known as St Elphin's House and has been completely renovated. You can now run up and down front stairs or take a trip down Long C, without being shouted at, as well as taking advantage of all the their facilities! On the corridor leading down to the dining room, originally erected in 1963, there is a lift to the first and second floors and a disabled toilet. Below left: The Upper VI form room is now a residents' lounge, and
Below left: The Bistro – formerly the staffroom. At the two reunions in October 2012 a number of the girls commented that it was the first time they had ever been in the staff room and promptly raised their glasses to the staff! The Bistro is open to non-residents and members of TOE (The Old Elphinians) can obtain a 10% discount on bookings made in the restautant – on production of their membership card.
The first floor consists of two deluxe apartments plus The Chatsworth Guest Room (below left), whilst the second floor also has one deluxe apartment plus The Haddon Guest Room (below right). The Guest Rooms are available for use by relatives of residents, potential new residents or Old Elphinians. Additionally, the good news is that the Guest Rooms are also available for any old girls of St Elphin's School at £60 per room, per night (twin/double) including breakfast. Lunch and Dinner are availale in The Bistro or The Orangery Restaurant at varying prices.
There are some more deluxe apartments which are accessible from Long Corridor both on the ground floor and the first floor in the area of where the elephant and laundry shute used to be. Also on Long Corridor is the Audley Club. Some of the facilities are off Long Corridor itself whilst there is also a new build at the end, complete with swimming pool. There are treatment rooms, hair salon, and health & wellbeing centre (including a gym). Non-residents can join the Audley Club and people staying in the guest rooms can also take use of the facilities.

Although many Old Elphinians were boarders during our school days, did we ever envisage that we may actually want to go back and stay? Well now we can!
Left: Front Hall is now bright and modern – unlike our school days! Afterall, if you were now a resident at St Elphin's Park you certainly wouldn't want it to be dark and dismal! The original front stairs and fireplace are still in situ, although they are now painted white. The trophy cabinet, which can't be seen in the photo, is also still in the same place and, again, has been painted white.
