Description
The Tomich Hotel, along with its associated Post Office and former stables, was built in 1865 by A & W Reid of Elgin and Inverness. It is an asymmetrical, two-storey gabled building constructed from rubble with contrasting, tooled red ashlar dressings. The main entrance on the south-east front is centrally positioned but partially obscured by a gabled, rustic timber porch. To the left of the entrance is a slightly projecting gabled bay with a bipartite window on the ground floor and a tripartite window above. The south-west garden front has four bays, with a single canted bay window on the ground floor and a slightly advanced gabled bay on the left. Some ground floor windows on the first floor are topped by gabled dormers. The building has coped end and ridge stacks, and a slate roof. A small, single-storey rubble lean-to, with tooled rubble margins, projects from the north-east gable and now houses the Post Office.
The former stables are a rectangular rubble building with a gable facing the road. A "up and over" type garage door now occupies the position of the original segmental gighouse entry. A stable entrance is located in the long return elevation. The stables are linked to the Post Office by a short length of coped rubble wall, featuring a double gated entrance flanked by simple square rubble gate piers with shallow pyramidal caps. Records relating to the building are held at the Moray District Record Office, under reference DAWP 1232/29-31.
