For a pleasant pre-dinner drink, Sandbanks Bar is ideal - a modern, recently re-furbished (February 2001) bar serving cocktails, draught and bottled beer and wine by the glass or bottle. Nothing could be more magical than watching the sun set over Brownsea Island from the comfort of the bar lounge. Guests can also enjoy the facilities in the Ballroom where regular entertainment takes place - here there is a bar and a stage which plays host to many popular acts and performers.
