In addition to its stunning views of the motte and Victorian railway buildings, the building has a well equipped kitchen, extensive hanging wires and display boards, internet and projector, chairs and tables for hirers' use and a cafe in an adjacent building.  There is excellent access for anyone with mobility issues.
