Set on the Thames Path in a quiet residential area of the Docklands, the property is a 5-minute walk from Island Gardens DLR station, providing direct connections to Canary Wharf (10 min via DLR) and central London (30 min via Jubilee line). The Uber boat pier at Island Gardens is a 10-minute walk, offering a 15-20 minute river trip to the O2 Arena or a scenic route to Tower Bridge. Greenwich foot tunnel is also within walking distance, giving access to Greenwich Park and the Cutty Sark. London City Airport is 7 km away, reachable by DLR in about 25 minutes.

The room inventory consists of double rooms only (no twin beds), each with a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer. Room sizes vary from a minimum of 20 m² for a standard double up to 40 m² for larger rooms. Rooms with river views are available and tend to be quieter. All rooms have large windows, heating, and a carpeted floor; some include a balcony. Rooms come with a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee maker, and a work desk. The property has no air conditioning; a fan is provided. Rooms are above a pub, so top-floor rooms may reduce pub noise. Some rooms show signs of wear and maintenance.

The modern restaurant offers British cuisine across brunch, lunch, and dinner, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options clearly marked. The bar serves cask ales, wine/champagne, and snacks. Breakfast is à la carte, available at an additional charge of £13 per person or included in select rates; the full menu includes Full English/Irish, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices, but only one cooked dish and one hot drink are covered under included breakfast - extra items and additional drinks are charged separately. Breakfast service starts at 08:00, so early departures may need to plan accordingly. A coffee shop is also on site.

The property features a garden and outdoor seating area, providing a quiet space for relaxation. Activities available nearby include canoeing (at an additional charge, off-site) and walking tours (additional charge). The pub itself offers board games and puzzles for entertainment. Boating on the Thames is accessible from the nearby pier, and the Thames Path is right across the road for walking or cycling.
