Drawing Room as it was - now one of the rooms to meet in or just relax

For the use of guests were three large lounges in the house which also functioned as conference rooms. In addition the added dining room had many functions (as well as its main eating one) with extensive views across the valley and mountains. Small rooms were used for meetings too. There was a snooker room. Hot and cold drinks were available 24 hours a day and there was a snacks and souvenir shop.

There was a tennis court, an outside chess board, croquet facilities, forest walking, private fishing and a range of outdoor activities, environmental studies facilities, a ranger service and guided walks were made available.
