With so much going on in the area, many take advantage of the Hotel as a base for their weekend getaway, or even as a resting place on business trips. 

As a comfortable and practical place to meet, many local business use our function room for their business meetings, but it can also be used to host parties, (birthdays/anniversaries/wedding receptions) and with direct access out into the garden area the venue is ideal for those glorious summer get - togethers, especially with the play area in the garden the kids will have plenty of space to let off some steam!
