Description

The Crags Hotel is a 2-storey and attic, 3-bay house built in the later 19th century in the Baronial style. It is prominently situated at the east end of Main Street in Callander and recognised as a good example of one of a small number of Baronial buildings in the area.

The principal southwest elevation features openings with segmentally headed surrounds, with a continuous decorative string course above the ground floor window lintels. A projecting section above the bipartite ground floor window supports a tripartite oriel window at the first floor, providing light to the former drawing room. An armorial panel is positioned above the front door at first floor level. Narrow windows are set into the outer right corner, curved at ground floor level and with stop-chamfered detailing at the first floor.

The attic level displays distinctive articulation, including a prominent crow-stepped gable with a ball finial. The upper section of the gable features a corbelled table resting on an eyebrow-shaped cornice above the attic window. A matching dormer window to the right has a decorated head with diamante rustication.

A simpler, rectangular, 3-bay, 2-storey wing is located to the rear northeast. This wing predates the Baronial block and was originally separated by a passageway from the site of the later Baronial structure. The original rear wing appears to have been retained and integrated as a service wing when the Baronial block was built in the later 19th century. Modern, single-storey, flat-roofed extensions have been added to the rear to provide additional bedroom accommodation.

The interior was re-arranged when the building was converted to a bed and breakfast in the 20th century.

The Baronial block is constructed with bullfaced, coursed "pudding stone" to the main elevation - the stone has weathered in places - with blonde sandstone dressings. The windows are predominantly timber sash and case with plate glass. The roof is pitched grey slate, with a crow-stepped southeast gable featuring skewputts. Dressed gable apex stacks topped with stop-chamfered mouldings, circular cans are also present. The rear wing is built with random rubble "pudding stone" and has a pitched grey slate roof with various window styles.
