Public Rooms
The majority of the public rooms are in the oldest part of the building at the front and in the middle. The bar and lounge are believed to date back 700 years and are wonderfully atmospheric and relaxing. Both have enormous inglenook fireplaces – one with a wood burner, the other a cosy, open fire which normally burns all year round. The lounge and bar have low ceilings, oak beams, and seat 30 comfortably and have been gently refurbished in the last two years.

The Dining Room has also been redecorated recently – its Georgian panels, and wooden floor varnished and painted to reveal their true beauty. Starched, white tablecloths and napkins give the room clean, contemporary and luxurious feel. The room’s centerpiece is the genuine Adam fireplace surround which was originally installed an upstairs bedroom. Many years ago it was transplanted to the dining room making a spectacular focal point. Local art including framed paintings, prints as well as decorative plates and pottery produced by local artists also lend a contemporary feel to the room.

The Old Conservatory leads from the dining room and provides additional seating overlooking the walled garden. It’s a pretty, unpretentious room, split on two levels and comes alive when candle-lit

The Sun Room is the last major public room and can be found off the middle of the main building. Half the room comprises a large, new, conservatory that protrudes into the middle of the walled garden. It is a stunning place to enjoy breakfast while large enough to cater for larger private parties, conferences and wedding receptions.
