Take your pick of dining spaces, with a table for two on the ground-floor or a larger table on the first floor which can accommodate six guests.

If the weather is nice, why not dine alfresco out on the roof terrace, as the wine is poured and plans are made for the days ahead. After a delicious meal, head through to the sitting room with balcony, where you can snuggle up on the plush sofas and watch your favourite TV series.
