The Grapes is a Cask Marque pub with a documented connection to the Titanic, evidenced by a silver plaque on the exterior wall. Guests receive a discount on drinks at the bar simply by showing their key card. A flexible food policy allows visitors to bring their own meals into the pub or order from neighboring restaurants that deliver.

Rooms include private bathrooms with walk-in showers, complimentary toiletries, and hairdryers. Each room is stocked with tea and coffee making facilities, a can of still water, and chocolates on the bed. Portable fans and hot water bottles are provided to adjust room temperature on request.

The pub serves a rotating selection of local ales from community breweries, alongside craft lagers and spirits. Residents receive 10% off bar drinks during standard hours and can take their beverage up to the room. Tuesday night is free pool night for all guests.
