Room types include single, double, and family rooms (one double plus one single bed). All rooms are en-suite with a shower or bath. The property is a historic building with character, but some areas show signs of age: dated decor, dusty surfaces, stains on carpets and walls, and occasional issues with heating or plumbing. The plumbing system is notably noisy when water is used in other rooms, and rooms above the bar can pick up live music until midnight. On the positive side, some rooms are spacious with comfortable beds, good views over the church or garden, and essential amenities like a flat-screen TV and electric kettle. There are no plug sockets near the bed in some rooms, and no balcony. The stairs are steep and there is no lift.

Leisure facilities are limited to the pub itself. The beer garden provides outdoor seating for drinks and meals. The pub hosts quiz nights on Mondays, occasional live bands, and themed events such as '90s nights. There are indoor screens and game machines. The building is located opposite a church with views of a park, making for pleasant walks in the neighbourhood.

Free Wi-Fi is accessible in public areas. The car park is directly opposite the hotel with no height restrictions and includes an electric vehicle charging point. Accessible parking spaces are provided. The hotel has a function room for events, baby-changing facilities, high chairs, and a fireplace. Safety features include CCTV, smoke alarms, and key access. Staff are generally praised for being friendly and helpful, though the bar can become understaffed at peak times. Payment is accepted by Visa, Maestro, and Mastercard; a card is required to guarantee flexible-rate bookings but no deposit is taken at booking.
