Borthwnog Hall Hotel

Borthwnog Hall Hotel is a roughly L-shaped building with two storeys, constructed from rough-dressed rubble and topped with slate roofs. The main block features a symmetrical design with twin gable-end chimneys, which have been raised in brick in the late 19th century, and the parapet walls have been built up later. The front has five bays, with French windows on both floors; the ground floor windows are taller and consist of six panes. Above, the upper windows open onto a decorative 19th-century iron balustraded balcony supported by six cast-iron columns, which create a verandah for the ground floor below. The upper floor is rendered, and the windows are fitted with 20th-century external slatted shutters. A moulded string-course runs along the roof parapet.

To the left, there is a storied service bay with 16-pane slightly-recessed sash windows on both floors. A modern storied extension has been added in front, along with a single-storey flat-roofed extension that is flush with the main front. The rear of the main block features elegant 16-pane late Georgian sash windows, and there is a large projecting wing to the right with a hipped roof. However, there is a modern part-glazed door-and-window combination on the northeast face of this wing, along with a modern boiler-room extension to the right. A late 19th-century porch addition is located on the east gable of the main range, which includes a flat-roofed canted bay window above and a plain 19th-century sash window in the attic.

Inside, the main inner doors are framed by Regency reeded doorcases and plain architraves facing the hall. A fine mid-18th-century shouldered wooden fireplace in the central ground-floor room features egg-and-dart carving and dentilation, although it is not original to the house. The cantilevered half-well staircase has oak treads and risers, with foliated flat iron balusters and a mahogany swept rail. It also includes a cast iron foliate column-finial and an upper galleried landing. Most rooms have moulded cornices and six-panel (sunk) doors with plain moulded architraves, along with panelled shutters and original early 19th-century locking bars. Egg-and-dart cornices adorn the hall and stairwell.
