The early 18th.century Old Point House has an unspoilt and spartan tiny snug bar, which until the 1980s was the only public room – now there are three small rooms. The approach to the pub is also unspoilt as you drive down an unmade road around Angle Bay, which can get cut-off by spring tides for up to one-and-a-half hours. Called the 'Lifeboatman's local' since the neighbouring lifeboat station opened in 1868.

The beamed bar measuring 4m x 5m has a concrete floor, range fireplace, two fine old wooden settles and just one table. It is reputed that some of the ships’ biscuits for Nelson’s fleet were baked in the large oven that was situated adjacent to the 19th.century cast-iron kitchen range. The bar counters may be 40 years old and have slate slabs for counter tops that were added in the 1990s. There are two other rooms each with a similar bar counter - the dining room on the rear right was brought into use in the 1980s; the lounge bar on the left was converted from living quarters in the 1990s. Recently, a former sitting room has been brought into use as a public room, when required. Outside gents' and ladies’.
