    Wonderful and attentive service from the front reception and the wait staff. Nothing was too much! The food was superb (salmon, mushroom on toast with the most savoury of gravies, and v filling cob salad). Highly recommend The Library Bar for ambience and v attentive wait staff! Ah, and the Prosecco, chilled and delicious!

    The Library Bar never lets me down. Great food and drinks. The Poseidon cocktail using a milk clarification process is one of the tastiest cocktails I have ever had. We always meet interesting people and never want to leave once we get there. So cozy at this time of year.
