Description
The Dinorben Arms Hotel is a large hotel built in the late 18th century or early 19th century. It features a main body that is two storeys high with attics, along with a storeyed wing at the left (south) end and a double pile storeyed wing that runs parallel to the rear. The exterior is rendered, with the main part of the hotel stuccoed and designed to resemble ashlar stone. It has stressed rusticated quoins and eared architraves supported by shaped corbels, while the rear wings have windows that include hoodmoulds. The roof is made of slate, with rendered gables and axial stacks that have shoulders and capping.
The main entrance faces the street to the east and consists of a five-window range, with a single-window wing aligned to the left (south). The central entrance is accessed through a portico porch that features coupled square pillars engraved with a key-pattern. Above the entablature, there are railings enclosing a flat roof that has a model of a lion rampant holding a sceptre. The entrance is flanked by narrow lights and has panelled double doors. The windows throughout the hotel are 12-pane horned sashes.
On the rear elevation, there are two windows at the far left (north) end, which are horned sash windows with margin panes. The attic features windows in hipped half dormers. The double pile wings at the back of the hotel have an entrance through a flat-roofed modern porch located in the northwest corner. The north gable has horned sash windows with margin panes, and the ground floor includes a single paired casement window to the right (west). The rear (west) elevation is a six-window range that has been modernised, with ground floor doorways at the left (north) end and canted bays to the right, the far right bay extending to full height, while the first-floor windows have been replaced with modern casements.
The interior was not inspected during the survey, but an earlier listing description from 1951 mentions a good staircase with turned balusters dating from around 1800.
