Relax and enjoy our latest seasonal menu and daily specials in the traditional comfort of our Lounge Bar, which features a beautifully carved fireplace from a Dutch galleon ship. This offers a more relaxed and family-friendly alternative to our Beat 4 restaurant, with the same high quality, locally-sourced ingredients and excellent service. It’s a welcome retreat from the crisp outdoors in autumn and winter with its roaring fire and cosy booth seating. Spread over a couple of levels, you can find the perfect spot in which to enjoy your meal.

Testimonials

The hotel was well located, with ample parking and easy to find. All the staff were lovely and welcoming. It had a nice outside area and lots of lovely common spaces – including a library area and both a reception/lounge and bar. Our triple en-suite room was very clean, beds comfy and excellent value for money. Breakfast was included in the price, and had both a continental and cooked to order options- both of which was great. The evening of our stay we had dinner in the restaurant part of the lounge bar’ (not the Beat 4 restaurant) however the food was still hearty and delicious, the setting was nice and prices were very reasonable. Couldn’t fault it!
