Pre-dinner drinks and canapés are available in the Drawing Room or Gunroom Bar, which offers cocktails and gins.

The Gun Room Restaurant's acclaimed tasting menu features superb local produce, making it a destination for food enthusiasts, and the individually decorated rooms with luxury touches add to its charm.
