Description
The Buckley Pines Hotel is a two-storey building with attics, constructed from in-situ concrete that is rendered and lined on the outside, and plastered on the inside. It features slate roofs sourced from the local Minllyn quarry. The front of the building has three bays, with the entrance located between the second and third bays from the left, topped by a gabled canopy supported by cut brackets. On either side of the entrance are shallow square bay windows with hipped roofs, each containing two plate glass windows set in low pointed openings. The left bay has two similar windows on the ground floor, which are set flush and equipped with louvred shutters, while the first floor has one window in each bay. There is also a half-bay between the first and second bays that features similar windows. The top floor includes windows of the same design set in raised dormers in the first and third bays, as well as a larger gable in the center, which is supported by paired cut brackets and features decorative timber framing in the gable apex. The eaves are open and wide with raftering.
On the left side of the building, there is a hipped single-storey bay, along with various windows that match the style of those on the front. At the rear, there is a large single-storey service range, and the rear elevation is designed to be equally significant, offering views over the Dyfi valley. It includes a modern glazed dining room with a flat roof on the ground floor and two canted bay windows on the first floor, each topped with hipped slate roofs. The top floor is set within projecting gables that feature decorative timberwork above arched braced bargeboards.
Inside, the hotel maintains the general arrangement of rooms, although some details have been altered. The front bar, located on the left, features a plain slate slab arched fireplace with pierced roundels in the spandrels.
