The Drawing Rooms are warm and inviting with patios and balcony overlooking the gardens and parkland. Both rooms are the perfect retreats for a leisurely afternoon tea or drinks on a warm, summer evening.

The Music Room, one of the finest rooms of its age in Scotland, was designed as a library and completely surrounded with wood panelling that has never been painted and a fine ceiling decorated with Rococo swirls. This is a room with great atmosphere, ideal for banquets or large dinner parties of up to 40 guests.

The Dining Room, an elegant room with views over parkland and gardens, can cater for 18 guests. An additional table for children is also available.
