Exterior
The building is constructed of local red sandstone conglomerate rubble with freestone dressings and with Welsh slate roofs with red brick chimneys. It has an extremel rambling plan which is very difficult to interpret and the main street elevation (north west) is a considerable distance from the garden elevation (south west). The buildings are two storeys throughout. The street elevation, from the left: a gabled section with a wing going back, this has two 2-light windows on the ground floor and a 3-light one above, all Tudor type with pointed heads to the lights and label moulds. There is a plinth and quoins to the left and the gable is outlined, pediment like, in stone, and there are kneelers and a moulded capstone to the gable. The left hand return has a 2-light window visible on the upper floor, the ground floor is hidden by the rubble wall which connects the building to No 32 High Street (qv). This wall contains a blocked doorway on the end in red brick. The next section is a two bay one with a 2-light window on each floor to the left and the entrance to the right. This has a stone framed square headed doorway below and a stone framed 3-light oriel above, this has a parapet rising above the eaves. Low pitch roof, with a 3-flue stack on the junction with the wing to the left and a single flue one in the rear slope. To the right again is a five window range along the street with the windows placed randomly, apart from the four furthest to the right. All windows are 2-light as before, but they vary in size and only the ground floor ones have label moulds. The roof pitch is different and the ridge higher than the previous range. Next comes a long range which is blind apart from a single introduced 2-light window, plain roof with a massive chimney stack. There are also indications of blocked openings. This range was the stables (and was previously listed together with the boundary wall qv) but it has now been incorporated into the hotel as a range of bedrooms.
The garden elevation, from the right: a gabled wing with a 4-light timber mullion and transom oriel over a similar window. Then comes a single bay range with the roof in line with the elevation. This has a 3-light mullion and transom casement below and above, and a 6 over 3 pane sash in the left return of this range. Then comes a single gabled bay with a modern 2-light window above and below, the upper one has a small, possibly Tudor, niche to the right of it. The left return of this has a huge lateral stack with four tall brick flues, these are set on the diamond and panelled, the fourth and largest is on the square. Next comes a parallel range set back, with the hotel entrance and a small paned casement on the ground floor and three casements above, all these are late C20 joinery; massive lateral stack entirely hidden by creeper. Next comes the long lower range, previously the stables now bedrooms. Nine bays, doors and windows below, windows above, 2 and 3-light casements all late C20, massive ridge stack.
