The Spirit Vaults operates its own microbrewery, brewing Reverend ale, Morgan ales, and the house beer Vaults Gold.

The hotel provides a bamboo toothbrush and mini Colgate toothpaste in each room, and guests note the bed is comfortable and the room clean.
Dining & Breakfast
A full English or Irish breakfast is served daily, with vegetarian and vegan options available; a vegan breakfast has been rated as the best some guests have tasted.
