The hotel is built round a former 17th century residence with many of the original features being retained including exposed wooden beams and Yorkshire stone windowsills. The bar has a low-ceilinged and is L-shaped and is situated to the right of the hotel reception. The decor is an uneasy mixture of faux olde worlde and contemporary chic. Parts are given over to more formal dining. Prices seem to be expense-account oriented with Black Sheep being an eye watering £4.20 a pint (Feb 2014) and the food is also pretty expensive.
