The Royal Goat Hotel

The Royal Goat Hotel is a large hotel complex built in a roughly T-plan layout. It features rubble construction with hipped slate roofs, while the main front-facing elevations are stuccoed. The complex includes a main four-storey section with four bays, and an adjoining L-shaped three-storey section that projects to the front. This three-storey section has three bays in its advanced part, with the entrance located to the right. The entrance features a large decorative fanlight and partly-glazed late 19th-century double doors, which are set within a large single-storey modern porch that is open to the front.

The hotel has original 12-pane recessed sash windows on the left and upper floors, except for the centre where the windows are blind. There are plain stringcourses between the floors that return around the sides. The attic includes two lead dormers with modern tilting windows on the front and left return of the entrance block. The four-storey section, which is set back to the right, has similar windows except on the ground floor, where there is a four-bay modern projecting arcade with an enclosed verandah. The end bay to the right features a square projecting porch.

At the rear, the unstuccoed wing is recessed to the left of the entrance section and has windows with slate lintels, similar to those at the front. On its hipped return, there is a two-storey canted bay window with marginally-glazed sash windows, which is a later 19th-century alteration. The rear also has largely modern openings and a single-storey modern addition in the space that was previously occupied by the service court. Additionally, there is a two-storey slated former coach house at the rear, which has been much altered. The interiors of the hotel are plain and largely modernised.
