The Dragon House Hotel

The Dragon House Hotel is a farmhouse that has been converted into a hotel. It dates from the 17th century, with alterations made in the early 18th century and the 20th century. The building is constructed of red sandstone random rubble, featuring wooden lintels over the openings, and has a slate roof with coped verges and stone stacks at the gable ends, while the right side is rendered.

The layout consists of two main cells and a cross passage, which have been enlarged at the rear to include a wing that forms part of a south-facing courtyard. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has three bays. The early 20th century saw the addition of gabled dormers with two and three lights, while the original windows are four-light leaded casements in wooden frames. Above the central hipped porch, which has a slate roof and is constructed from random rubble, is a reset doorcase featuring a renewed ribbed plank door with fleur-de-lys hinges, and a 20th-century glazed inner door. A plaque above the entrance is inscribed with "R H 1704."

On the southeast corner, there is a 20th-century segmental-headed carriageway entrance set in a random rubble wall, which connects to a four-bay linhay with circular piers, one bay of which is blocked, forming the east side of a stone-flagged courtyard. The opposite wing has two steeply chamfered four-light mullioned windows and one ovolo-moulded mullion. The interior has been extensively altered, but some original features remain, including surviving chamfered beams with step and run-out stops.
