Garden

Relax in the quiet garden with a drink or lunch throughout the summer months. An enclosed garden means it's also safe for children to run around, make use of our swings and slide whilst the grown ups carry on enjoying some peace with any luck!

The Garden Restaurant

For a more intimate dining experience, the Garden Restaurant is dressed in crisp, white linen with a relaxed yet formal atmosphere. Choose from our seasonal restaurant menu which changes daily. The Garden Restaurant is also available for functions.

The Salmon Room

Our largest and most flexible room seats up to 100 for conferences, meetings, private parties, dinners, celidhs, functions, weddings and gatherings. The Salmon Room has its own dance floor, fully stocked bar and facilities. There is also a private courtyard with garden benches and a private car park.

We can set up the room to your own specification for meetings and conferences. You are welcome to use dry wipe boards and our projector. Please feel free to bring your own data projector or other equipment that is required.

Request our menu selector (Canapes, starters, soups, Fish, Meat and Vegetarian main courses, puddings plus a selection of finger and fork, hot and cold buffets are available). We will post or e-mail this to you.

If you have your own ideas, we will cater for your event entirely to suit your occasion, taste and budget. We will quote individually as each function is different.

Meeting Rooms

A small room, located by reception, ideal for boardroom meetings in comfort and private. This room is available to hire by the hour and perfect for up to ten people. Refreshments can be ordered in advance or by simply asking at reception. Meals can be taken in the room itself, in the bar or the restaurant.

This room is also used regularly for private dining for a special occasion.

Lounge

Our lounge, on the ground floor by reception is a large comfortable room to pass the time away and in the colder months is dominated by a roaring log fire. What better place to relax after a day in the great outdoors.

The lounge can be used in the daytime for private meetings for a more relaxed atmosphere or indeed for use as a breakout room.

The Huntsman Bar

Rest a while in the Huntsman, a favourite with our locals, and you may hear daily tales of hunting and fishing capers recounted at the bar. Enjoy our selection of guest ales, fine Malt Whiskies and award-winning bar food in a homely wooden panelled room, all in the warmth of an open in the winter months.
