On warmer days our gardener would love you to enjoy your drinks outside and admire the landscaped gardens.

Along with a mixture of more filling, local and traditional dishes, and a daily specials board, ensures that even guests on an extended stay can always try something different.
For those travelling with children a special menu waits, with a selection of healthy meals along with those little treats.

At half-past three, everything stops for tea! Relax with friends, family or colleagues.
A very special way to spend an afternoon....Come in out of the cold and enjoy our Afternoon Tea with a choice of tea/coffee/hot chocolate served in the conservatory overlooking the gardens, or alternatively in the relaxing lounges or Tavern by the fire place.
