St George'S Hotel And Attached Rear Wall

St George's Hotel, originally a vicarage, was built in the 1850s and extended in the early 20th century and again in 1989. The building features Killas rubble walls with granite dressings and steep dry Delabole slate roofs. It has axial stone stacks over the original cross wing and additional stacks over the parallel rear roof. The hotel has a U-shaped plan due to the early 20th-century wing added on the right side. The original layout included two front rooms with an entrance hall between them.

Designed in the Gothic Revival style, the hotel is a single storey plus attics and consists of four bays with gabled wings on either side. It has a gabled hood over an arched doorway, with relieving arches above a two-light trefoil-headed window to the left and a three-light trefoil-headed window to the right. There is also a two-light plate-tracery window on the first floor of the left-hand gable, and similar arched gables over the attic dormers, which feature original casements. The early 20th-century wing has a two-window gable end.

Inside, the hotel retains an original straight-flight stair with a trefoil-headed balustrade, a pointed-arched stone doorway at the rear of the passage, and an original pointed-arched serving hatch between the right-hand room and the kitchen. The front rooms have moulded plaster ceiling bands. The first floor was not inspected.

A notable feature is the attached rear wall, which connects at right angles to the back of the hotel and includes a pointed-arched doorway and granite coping with roll moulding. The vicarage was likely designed by Reverend William Haslam, who was a friend of the ecclesiological architect William White. This building reflects the influences of White and other ecclesiological architects like Street, who worked in Cornwall by the early 1850s. The hotel is included for its group value.
