Description
The Roa Island Hotel is a public house dating from the mid to late 19th century. It features scored stucco over stone and has a slate roof. The building is two storeys tall with an attic and has a three-bay entrance front, a three-bay right return, and a one-storey, three-bay side wing to the front left.
The hotel has a plinth and 20th-century casement windows with glazing bars. The second bay includes a six-panel door with a blocked overlight, set within an ashlar doorcase that has sunken-panelled jambs and twin consoles supporting a triangular pediment. The windows in the outer bays have sunken apron panels and architraves, with a sill band and aprons for the taller first-floor windows. The right end bay is recessed and set on a curve.
There is an eaves cornice with a blocking course, two inserted roof dormers, and a brick end stack on the left. The right end of the roof is hipped with a stack on the return slope. The side wing on the left, which is said to have been converted from a boathouse, features projecting sills on its tall windows.
