Brasenose

The dinette area is permanently located, so jigsaws and games can continue through the day. Outside there’s the large rear deck with seats for outside dining or checking on the steerer’s prowess!

Brasenose is available for reunions, hen and stag parties. (She offers a great way to have a bit of fun!).
