About this space

The Balvenie Suite is a lovely space which has also been recently restored and refurbished. Allowing for all the intimacy required for board meetings and special dinners, without any of the stuffiness or lack of character.

With full natural daylight, the room also features wood paneling and is designed in a warm and welcoming style. Ideal both on its own or combined with the larger suite.
