Lying in beautiful countryside mid way between Bath and Chippeham, just off the M4 outside Corsham, the Centre provides temporary housing for families of serving personnel from all three services. Whether you are in transit between postings, retiring, have welfare housing issues or have been the subject of emergency evacuation from overseas, the Centre offers a secure, comfortable and affordable place to stay. In the case of estranged families and those leaving the Services, the family is to include one child.

The sixty cosy single storey, centrally-heated, three bedroom chalets and converted flatlets are all self catering, fully furnished and include cooking utensils, freezer, fridge, cutlery, crockery, bedding and towels. Colour televisions can be hired for £1-50 per week. Your accommodation will be ready for you to take over on arrival. If you arrive outside working hours your keys will be left with the security guard at the gate.
