Judge's Keep Hotel, 20 Main Street, Glenluce

The Judge's Keep Hotel, located at 20 Main Street in Glenluce, is a late 19th-century, two-storey building with a basement and five bays. The first floor features breaking eaves, and the hotel has a full-height basement due to the sloping ground at the rear.

The northern elevation is rendered, while the other sides are pebble-dashed, with painted margins and quoin strips. On the main street elevation, there is a door to the right of the center, which has a bracketed cornice and broad margins, along with a panelled door and fanlight. Modern steps lead up to the door, which is positioned between two bays at the ground floor. The windows are regularly spaced, with gabled finialled dormerheads above the central and outer bays on the first floor, and smaller windows in the remaining two bays. The basement features windows in the center and two bays to the right. A circular plaque depicting a winged wheel with three initials is located between the ground and first floors at the center, and a public house sign hangs between the central and left bays.

The western elevation facing Bankfield Road is gabled and blank, with a modern extension slightly recessed to the right. The eastern elevation is also gabled, with windows at the outer left and right on the ground floor. There is a rubble wall along the length of the basement.

The southern elevation has five bays with dormer-headed windows in the center and outer bays. There is a long single-storey gabled range, which was formerly stables, attached to the right bay, featuring a hay-loft opening to the west and six modern windows to the left. A modern two-storey flat-roofed extension is located in the left bay, along with a modern low flat-roofed extension in three bays at the center, linking the stable range and the modern extension.

The building features plate glass glazing in sash and case windows, red sandstone coped skews, and pebble-dashed stacks with red sandstone bands. The gable heads are to the east and west, with a ridge between the left of center and center bays. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods. Plain iron railings are present along the northern side.
