We booked a weekend for our anniversary and ended up spending most of it in the lounge downstairs. The dealers were patient with us as beginners and the room itself still had that old cinema feel to it, all brass fittings and low lighting.
Stayed three nights for a work trip and kept walking past the salon thinking I'd pop in for one drink. Ended up there most evenings. Blackjack table was quiet enough on a Tuesday that the dealer talked us through the basics.
The room was smaller than I expected but genuinely quiet and well kept, and the lounge more than made up for it. Booked a table for six of us for a birthday, no issues arranging it, and the staff remembered our name by the second night.
Guests staying at Bramwold Rest have priority access, though the lounge also welcomes visiting guests on select evenings. We recommend checking with reception on arrival for that evening's arrangements.
For weekday evenings a reservation isn't usually required, but Friday and Saturday evenings can fill up. We suggest booking a table through reception once you've confirmed your stay.
We ask guests to dress smartly in the evenings, in keeping with the room's character. Smart-casual is generally welcome; we ask that sportswear and beachwear be kept for daytime.
Yes, both rooms and the lounge can be arranged for small groups and private occasions. Contact us directly with your dates and group size and we'll put together an arrangement that suits.
