The Porth Hotel

The Porth Hotel is a two-storey building featuring stucco exteriors and slate roofs. The front consists of three distinct sections, with two of them finished in matching stucco and roughcast, while the third, which was formerly an assembly room and coach-house, is roughcast. The first two sections each have four windows, with rusticated, unpainted stucco ground floors and similar rusticated surrounds for the upper windows, set against painted roughcast. The right section has 12-pane sash windows and a door located in the second bay, featuring a timber corniced doorcase with part-fluted pilasters. Above the door is an overlight displaying the word 'Porth' in gilded letters. The central section is slightly taller, has roughcast end stacks, 4-pane sash windows, and a door in the right bay. This section includes a broad doorcase with console brackets, a four-panel door, sidelights, and overlights, along with a 'CTC' disk affixed to the upper wall, indicating it is likely the oldest part of the building.

To the left, there is a seven-window service range finished in painted roughcast, with 12-pane sashes for the assembly room and one above the loading door in the fifth bay. The ground floor features four altered former coach entries, now glazed, along with a door and window. Beyond this is a lower two-storey, two-window range with a hipped roof. The rear of the service wing includes a three-storey, six-window rubble stone range with a partially blocked large carriage arch and alterations to the ground floor. Extending from the angle is a tall three-storey, five-window rubble stone range, which may have been a former warehouse or mill, featuring stone window heads and 20th-century 12-pane windows on the upper floors, along with a ground floor door and various blocked openings.

The rear of the central block is three-storey with a large gable on the left, while the southern end block has a three-storey, three-window rear wing facing the old Vicarage. The central block may represent the 'new hotel' built on the site of the Porth Inn, which was noted for its impressive facade in a report by the Carmarthen Journal in 1863, with the remaining sections added later. The size of the range behind the service wing suggests it may have been a former woollen mill.
