Available venues
The Princess Amelia Room
Named after Princess Amelia, this charming room combines historic elegance with modern sophistication, offering a stunning setting for weddings and large events.
The Pearl Room
The Pearl Room offers the same light, airy ambiance and timeless elegance as the Princess Amelia Room — just on a more intimate scale. Perfect for smaller events and weddings, business meetings and private dining.
The Coral Lounge
Located on the lower ground floor, the Coral Lounge offers a private, adaptable space with its own bar, restrooms, and DJ booth — your very own 'night club' for an unforgettable party.
Accomodation
We have 26 comfortable, luxurious rooms with en-suite bathrooms furnished with everything you need for a restful stay, and guests are entitled to a £10 discount off your booked room rate, which will be applied on payment or checkout. We will discuss availability with you when you book your event.
Booking information
Please note, we require full payment upfront rather than a deposit – this is because the time between booking and the event itself is usually quite short, e.g. 1-2 weeks.
