Description

The Maesllwch Arms Hotel is a late 18th-century hotel constructed of whitewashed stone rubble with slate roofs. The building is arranged in a U-plan, with the main structure on the west side facing east, and an attached stable and coachhouse range at the north corner. A later addition on the east side encloses the yard.

The west range features a symmetrical three-bay front, consisting of two storeys and an attic. Inside, there is a central through stair hall and a main reception room to the left, while the accommodation to the right has been altered. The building has gable stacks and a six-panelled door with a four-paned overlight set within a timber doorcase and a bracketed canopy. The bays on either side have tripartite twelve-paned sashes with moulded surrounds, and there are twelve-paned sashes on the first floor. The central bay is gabled and includes a lunette window, with all openings having timber lintels and boxed eaves.

The stable-coachhouse range has been modified in the 20th century with a front extension to create a dining room, and it features a door at the east end. The east range is a later addition and includes lean-to structures on the south and east sides.

Inside the hallway of the west range, the stair is from the early 19th century, featuring a moulded handrail and stick balusters.
