The main sitting room and the snug room, both on the first floor, come complete with capacious sofas, smart TV s and multi fuel stoves to warm the toes on chilly nights. Gather round to chat about the day or enjoy some traditional entertainment with a board game, or head downstairs to the games room to play some pool.
