Catering for groups of up to 120, or al fresco dining for 200, the Cardrona Hotel selects only the freshest local produce to create a truely memorable dining experience. An informal collection of artefacts and memorabilia in the hotel gives a small glimpse into the extraordinary human history of this area while creating themed surroundings to complete your experience.
