The elegant bedrooms reflect the Victorian period and also provide all modern comforts. The period rooms of the west wing feature four-poster and half tester canopy beds. In the east wing, most of the antique appointed Junior Suites and Captain Suites offer breathtaking views over the Irish Sea whilst the remainder offer sweeping views of the gardens. Or, for sheer indulgence, enjoy the sumptuous Admiral's State Room.
