I booked a table in the main bar area where the car is and we sat on a comfy sofa and there was two comfy chairs as well. Unfortunately there was a very noisy party on opposite table who were a little tipsy and causing a bit of noise and that was fine but we were wanting to chat so we moved to the opposite side of reception where it was a little bit more quieter and we were able to talk. The cocktails were great and we ordered a pizza just to nibble on and that was fine. The staff were great and very attentive. I can highly recommend this hotel.
