The property is brick-built and is Grade II listed. The decor benefits from flagstone floors and a traditional decor of plain walls and a wooden servery. The layout consists of two rooms. The front bar is mainly used by drinkers, whereas the lounge is utilised for dining and private parties. The pub has a quaint atmosphere, and this is one of the main attractions for locals and visitors. The car park entrances are narrow, which makes them challenging for customers. Toilets are situated outside the main pub, but form part of the listing and cannot be moved. The raised patio at the rear is very popular in the warmer months. The trading area is very traditional and has an old-world charm, and this attracts customers who appreciate the traditional pub and its features. There is a patio area at the rear of the pub with a jumbo garden umbrella set in the middle. There is also a purpose-built smoking solution with lighting.

There is an opportunity to develop the trade further by introducing a good-quality traditional pub menu.
