About this space

The Library is a light and airy space on the ground floor of the main hotel, located close to the main entrance with a large lounge area immediately outside the space, perfect for an intimate wedding ceremony, wedding breakfast, pre-dinner drinks or conference breakout area.

High ceilings, an open fireplace, wood panelling and natural lighting ensure this space is formal yet comfortable with the oldie world charm of a Gentlemen’s club in days gone by.
