Description
The Douglas Arms Hotel is an early C19 coaching inn presumably built c1820-30 to serve Thomas Telford's new turnpike road to Holyhead, which was opened cl820. It is whitewashed roughcast with slate roofs, and roughcast four-shaft corniced end stacks. It is a three-storey, three-window range, with two parallel ranges each side with a row of four six-pane windows. The facade has marginal glazing bars to the second and ground floor sashes and four-pane sashes to the first floor. There are also centre broad flush-panelled double two-panel doors with overlight in a timber Roman Doric porch. To each side of the porch are spearhead iron railing on slate coping.

It is listed as a good example of a substantial late Georgian coaching inn.
