The detached stone villa sits adjacent to a private car park off main street with access taken to a front reception area. The ground floor includes a breakfast/dining room (36 covers) which has direct access to the fully fitted commercial kitchen. The main central lounge/restaurant can cater for around 50+ covers with a traditional L shaped bar counter. A secondary lounge area to the front of the hotel can hold another 16 covers.
