The rooms are entirely flexible regarding layout and embellishment; any theme you have in mind can be accommodated, and up to the minute audio-visual equipment is provided, along with staging and lighting to suit your event With heaps of traditional character blended with modern charm, this iconic hotel is the perfect quirky venue location. From full of character private dinners within the hotel's grade II listed ballrooms, then to the Wine Cellars which dates back to 1559.
