The Arkle Bar and Lounge is a luxuriously comfortable area of understated elegance and sophistication.

Open every day, serving morning coffee, light lunches and traditional afternoon tea, it is also the perfect place for a pre-dinner cocktail and is stocked with interesting malts, vintage ports and a wide range of liqueurs.
