Description

Ty Mawr Country Hotel is a 2½-storey former house constructed of whitened rubble stone with a steep slate roof. It features an external stack on the right and a central ridge stack, both dating from the 17th century, along with two inserted skylights located to the right of center. The front elevation was remodeled in the late 19th century and clearly shows how the house was divided for multiple occupations.

On the right side, there is a three-window dwelling with central French doors flanked by 6-pane sash windows, and similar windows are found in the upper storey. The left side indicates a pair of single-fronted former dwellings, featuring three 6-pane sash windows in the lower storey (the rightmost of which was originally a doorway) and French doors positioned center-left. In the upper storey, there are two taller 6-pane sash windows. All window openings have had their lintels replaced with concrete. The right gable end of the house includes a stone mounting block to the left of the stack and a small-pane attic window also to the left of the stack.

At the rear, there is a 2½-storey wing that is slightly set back from the right gable end of the main range. This wing has a single skylight, a tall small-pane stair light to the left, a 6-pane horned sash window in the upper right, and a window in the lower right that replaces a former doorway. An added link connects this wing to a gabled 19th-century outbuilding. The rear of the main range features a 2-storey flat-roofed projection that was heightened from its original form shown in 1889. To the right of this projection are a small-pane window and an enlarged window, both located beneath the eaves.

The interior has been modernized, but the position of the central fireplace, which has a timber lintel, has been retained. According to RCAHM Wales, the building is said to retain original collar-beam trusses.
