Our smaller rooms are ideal for meetings for between 5 and 20 people whilst larger functions for up to 70 guests in a single room can be held on the ground floor. Our rooms are normally available for hire between 08:00 and 23:00 weekdays and 09:00 and 23:30 at weekends.

The elegant rooms on the ground floor are the usual base for conferences, offering large screen facilities for professional presentations and formal lectures. The Drawing Room provides ideal surroundings for club or association dinners with its relaxed atmosphere in a formal setting. The Drawing Room is also suitable for receptions and if you would like more space it can be used in conjunction with the the Salon.
