What is recorded here
Hotel in Kilnabrack Upper started as an L and kept adding wings behind its long veranda. ‘Your room’s just round the corner’ sounds harmless until you realise they haven’t said which corner, or what day you’ll reach it.
Detached six-bay two-storey hotel, built c. 1900, originally on an L-shaped plan, with seven-bay single-storey lean-to open veranda to ground floor having gablet to centre and three-bay single-storey wing with half-dormer attic at right angles to south-west. Renovated and extended to south-west, c. 1970, comprising six-bay two-storey parallel range with six-bay two-storey flat-roofed lower parallel return.
