Description

The Port Askaig Hotel consists of two traditional houses from the early 19th century. These buildings are two storeys high, harled, and feature gabled roofs with slate coverings. The window openings have been altered over time. A Victorian addition connects the two houses at the front, showcasing ornamental caves and exposed timbers, as well as a bay window. There are gablets on the sides leading to the rear, and annexes that extend at right angles to the older sections. Additionally, there is a gabled out-building located in the yard.
