The hotel is constructed in brick, with some
sandstone and
timber framing, and has grey
slate roofs. It is in three storeys with cellars. On the Northgate Street side of the building is a three-arched
arcade, above which are two storeys in
Flemish bond brick. The rear face to the arcade is timber framed and includes an entrance containing a 17th-century door, with a slightly
bayed window on each side. On the corners of the building are sandstone
quoins. In the upper two storeys are
sash windows, and at the top is a plain stone
coped parapet. Most of the historical features have been removed from the interior. The features retained include a large sandstone fireplace in the front room, which dates probably from the early or mid-17th century, and the 17th-century carved oak staircase. ==See also==
