The dining room has mahogany furniture and there are always fresh flowers on the tables. During cold weather the wood-burning stove and candlelit tables create an intimate setting in which to enjoy dinner - (see details on evening meals page).
The whole atmosphere of the manse is one of seclusion, privacy, space and comfort.
