Draped with Indian wall hangings, elaborately carved screens and ancient artefacts, this en-suite room oozes Oriental charm.

A huge king-sized 4-poster bed takes centre stage amongst all the other antique furniture. The Egyptian Suite: In the Egyptian suite, a large 4-poster bed adorns the middle of the room, which has an abundance of Egyptian artefacts, and an Egyptian wall hanging which gives the room an authentic feel.

Many pieces of furniture from China adorn this room and the whole atmosphere gives that feel of the east.
