The Dovecote restaurant serves home-cooked food made with local and seasonal ingredients. Guests can choose from a diverse menu that includes weekend specials, generous portion sizes, and the option to book a table for evening meals. The pub also offers a selection of ales, beers, and fine wines, along with a dog-friendly dining area.

Each room includes a bowl of fresh fruit, a flat-screen TV, and a toaster with fresh bread provided. Bathrooms offer a bathtub or walk-in shower, and rooms have soundproofing and ironing facilities.

Nottingham city center can be reached in 45 minutes by car, and the National Holocaust Centre and Museum is nearby.
