boasts 51 bedrooms as well as a new ballroom.

of the grounds, with gorgeous contemporary

in the stables are generously-proportioned
rooms, characterised by attractive beams and
luxury bathrooms.
With two AA rosettes for its restaurant, the
hotel also has a bigger dining room and much
larger Cave Bar. A Whisky Club will be launched
