Listed as a hotel in a directory of 1868 (although the architectural detail suggests a later 19th century date) and built during the expansion of Tywyn following the arrival of the railway in 1863.

A late Georgian style, 3-storey, 6-bay hotel of whitened scribed roughcast, with a slate roof and a central roughcast stack. The ground floor has rusticated quoins up to a first-floor sill band, and the openings have moulded architraves, the windows being four-paned sashes with leaded glazing and cast iron grilles to the lower panes. The windows to the right of the entrance in the first and 5th bays have shouldered cambered heads with faceted keystones. The entrances have a half-glazed panel door and overlight with leaded glazing in the 1st bay , and double glazed doors (with glazing inserted into original moulded lower panels) and overlight in the 5th bay. The first and second floors have 4-pane sash windows, shorter in the upper storey.

The left gable end has a window with rusticated quoins and a first-floor sill band, similar to the front. On the right side is a half-glazed door under an overlight with leaded glazing, and on the left side a 4-pane sash window with leaded glazing to the lower sash. The first floor has a single 4-pane sash window in a moulded architrave, and the second floor a shorter 4-pane sash window.
