Adjoining the Fireplace Room is the Dining Room. A complete contrast, the Dining Room is light and airy with a large bay window framing the geometric picture outside formed by parterre patterns in lush green, dotted with colourful flowers.

In fine weather, the parterre garden outside the Gatehouse is a perfect setting for drinks before dining or for unique receptions with the castle buildings providing a picturesque historic backdrop.
