Description

The Black Horse Hotel is a hotel located on Garrs Lane in Grassington, dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with additions and alterations made in the mid to late 19th century. The building is constructed of gritstone rubble and has a rendered front with a graduated stone slate roof. It features quoins and stands three storeys high with three bays, plus an added projecting lean-to entrance bay on the right.

The main facade includes a 20th-century door located to the right of the center, set in a plain surround with a flat hood supported by stone brackets. To the left of the door is a two-light flat-faced mullion window, and to the right is a single-light window, both fitted with top-hinged 20th-century casements. The first floor has three plate-glass sash windows in plain surrounds, while the second floor has four square windows. The building is adorned with moulded kneelers, gable copings, and corniced end stacks. The added lean-to entrance bay features a 20th-century door in a plain surround and a sash window as its main front. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey. The hotel shares a similar character with the nearby properties at Nos. 7 and 8 The Square.
