Geddes/Gillespie Rooms
Maximum 100 delegates.

Our Geddes and Gillespie Rooms can be set up as two separate rooms or joined together to make one large L shaped function suite. The two rooms combine to become one magnificent oak panelled room with views across the park and direct access to our gardens. For large formal meetings you can have a work area on one side with a networking and lunch area on the other. If younger children are present they can play in the gardens while the adults do the serious work inside. If the meeting is more informal and you would like some evening entertainment then it is ideal for a work/dining area on one side with a dance floor and DJ, band or ceilidh band on the other.
