Description
The Travellers Rest Inn is a long building made of rubble stone, topped with a thatched roof, facing south. It features a two-storey main house with a lower two-storey wing on the left, which was formerly a one-storey structure likely used as a byre, and a single-storey wing on the right. The building includes a 16th-century ridge stack to the left of the main house and 18th to 19th-century stacks on the wings.
To the right of the center, there is a 20th-century gabled porch with a planked door on the west side and a six-pane window at the front. On the left of the center, there is a second planked door with strap hinges, which is likely the original entrance that would have led to a cross passage. The lower storey has small multipane wooden casement windows that are placed irregularly: there are 6-over-6 pane windows to the left of the doorways and a six-pane window to the right of the porch. The right wing features a single light window and a two-casement window, both with horizontal glazing bars. The windows flanking the porch have raised rendered surrounds. The upper storey has three windows, while the west gable end is rendered on the upper half and has no openings. There is a long 20th-century rear range projecting at the west end, along with further late 20th-century extensions behind.
Inside, the inn retains three fireplaces, all facing east. The largest is a 16th-century fireplace in the main house, featuring a curved timber lintel with a small chamfer and cut stops, and a bakeoven to its right. Behind this fireplace, in the original cross-passage, are two recesses with lintels. The east and west fireplaces are smaller, with straight timber lintels, and the eastern fireplace is likely reset. Floor joists are still visible in the central room.
