Set in the grounds to the west of the Dol-y-Coed Hotel and approached by footpaths, immediately to the south of the Well-House, is Dol-y-Coed Pump Room. The Sulphur Spring here was discovered by the Reverend Theophilus Evans of Llangammarch Wells in 1732. The pump room was built before 1853 and later remade as tearooms, probably in 1893 when the well was enclosed and spa facilities improved by Richard Campbell Davys. The well was closed circa 1960. It is a single storey range orientated north to south, which is cement rendered on a plinth with a high hipped slate-covered roof with ridge cresting. It has very wide boarded eaves on ornamental brackets. The symmetrical east front has end doorways, which are slightly recessed under flat heads. There are boarded 4-panel doors and panelled reveals and four 6-pane wooden windows between with flat heads and stone sills. There are no openings to the gable ends. The rear has 2 windows under shallow segmental heads, both 2-light multi-pane casements. The interior is said to retain tie-beams and flying braces which support the trusses of the boarded roof.
