King Arthur'S Castle Hotel

King Arthur's Castle Hotel is a large baronial Neo-Norman style hotel built in 1899 for The King Arthur's Castle Company Limited by Silvanus Trevail. It is situated in a prominent cliff top location overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The building rises to four storeys and features a series of symmetrically arranged castellated towers that extend slightly from the main wall line. The exterior is finished in pebbledash, likely over brick and slate stone rubble walling, with slate roofs and parapets. The front has almost symmetrical arrangements of 20 sash windows, with top lights that include glazing bars.

The central range is marked by octagonal castellated corner towers and a central entrance that boasts a well-designed Neo-Norman porte cochere, which is also pebbledashed and features wide segmental arched openings on the front and sides. Each of the four corner towers is four storeys high, with square crenellated turrets and regular side elevations that contain 12 windows.

Inside, the hotel retains much of its original character, including an imposing open well stone staircase with iron balusters and a mahogany rail. The lounge features a double three-bay colonnade made of polished Devonian limestone columns resting on carved freestone bases. There are also late 19th-century polychromatic chimney-pieces, complete with tiles and cast iron stoves, including a chimney-piece in the bar that is dated 1899.
