Linguarama Cheney Court - Corsham

Mystic T.

Seems to be closed! Marcus Evans Linguarama signs still there but gates locked. Carpark overgrown with weeds.

Very strange as the company website still lists Cheney Court as one of its locations...

Once a legendary TEFL location.

Beautiful 17th century Jacobean manor house set in wonderful Cotswolds countryside. Grade 2 listed building, once owned by PG Woodhouse's grandmother. Let's hope it finds a new owner!

Update Feb 2024 - Yes, London Bridge has fallen. Cheney Court has officially closed. Didn't make it through pandemic, and the modern manager prefers London apparently. What a sad state of affairs!

Will it reopen as a language school? A hotel? A care home? Watch this space...

NB : I have never written a recommendation, but here I felt that it should be shared with others, and had to devote time to it.

My conclusion is that I give my best recommendation.

I unconditionally give the place, the course, the food and the main purpose of my travel, education and the very professional and passionate teachers, my very best recommendation.

Week 11 / 2014 I have been joining an intensive English course with emphasis on business English in order to meet the requirements many large enterprises request for its employees. I was in a fortunate position that I could choose which company I thought met the demands that was important to me. After a thorough search on the internet I chose Marcus Evans Linguarama. The company has many training centers world wide, but I was in no doubt, that it would be in the UK.

Marcus Evans Linguarame have several placements in the UK but I was looking for a peaceful and beautiful place, so the choice was easy when I saw there was a training location approx. 10 km north / east of Bath. To become acclimated before the start of the course, I chose to fly to Bristol and be there for a few days to mentally be able to press the "reset" button. I could of course have chosen London where there is a private drive to the destination, but as stated, I wanted to be 100% tuned in for the main purpose of the travel.

I contacted the firm and informed them about my desires and expectations, and that I thought the course "Individual Business English training Courses tailored to the specific needs of each Individual" was containing the pecifically I was looking for. I received a web-based test to clarify my level, so that lessons could be finally tailored to me. Already on my arrival Sunday afternoon at Cheney Court, I was overwhelmed by its beauty and idyllic location. I was very kindly received and immediately offered something to eat, even though that there would be served dinner a few hours later. I was shown around the central parts of the castle and again my expectations were surpassed by many miles, including that the original interior was maintained and very well maintained.

Then last I was shown to my room, that was very spacious, tastefully furnished with a bed which in itself was a sleeping pill. The bathroom was large and also tiptop. In order not to make my letter too long and the repetition of the superlatives which I could continue to apply to everything and everyone throughout the whole course I better stop now. My conclusion is that I give my best recommendation. I unconditionally gives the place, the course, the food and the main purpose of my travel, education and the very professional and passionate teachers, my very best recommendation. Even the wi-fi access was fast and worked every day without interruption even once. On my many travels around the world I have never experienced anything like it.
