The smallest of the rooms, the Reading Room is a pleasantly intimate space that lends itself to small board meetings, dinners and lunches. Connected by wide, double doors to The Library, it can also serve as a reception room for a larger event.

Although intimate and charming, it has no less character than The House’s larger rooms: exhibited are a Victoria Cross and other military medals and a candle from Smeatons 1759 lighthouse.

As inspiration for successful negotiations, a portrait of Winston Churchill and Franklin D Roosevelt at the signing of the Atlantic agreement presides over Reading Room meetings.
