Description
Gwesty y Gafr, also known as The Goat Hotel, is a two-storey building with attics, constructed from colourwashed stone rubble and topped with a hipped slate roof. It features a square plan and has a front elevation with three window bays, including a central entrance that is now glazed and set beneath a gabled timber porch supported by cast-iron clustered columns. The building has twelve-paned sash windows, with the window boxes set back in openings that have timber lintels. Above the central door, there is a blind panel on the first floor. The exterior includes four symmetrically placed stone stacks on the side walls, with those at the front aligning with the side walls and those at the rear aligning with the rear walls, serving fireplaces in all ground and first floor rooms.
Inside, the layout has been altered due to the removal of the through passage, resulting in one large bar space.
