Homemade cakes, bara brith and light snacks may be enjoyed in the Victorian Tea Room daily during the summer months.

The Duke of Newcastle Suite is ideal for honeymoons or special occasions.

The hotel viewing terrace is a perfect vantage point for photographing the gorge and extremely popular with Bird-watchers.

The Red kite may sometimes be sighted from the terrace hovering above one of the few remaining habitats of this now rare bird.
