Detached six-bay three-storey former railway hotel, built c. 1860, with gable-fronted porch and with flat-roofed addition to front. Now in use as public house. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods and overhanging eaves. Painted ruled-and-lined rendered walls with painted render quoins. Moulded pediment, decorative render cornice and panelled pilasters to porch. Addition has render pilasters with fluted consoles to front. Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows having painted render surrounds, cornices and sills, barred to ground floor of main building and addition. Four-light fixed window to front of porch. Square-headed door openings with double-leaf glazed timber panelled door to porch and having replacement timber door with overlight to addition. Double-leaf timber panelled door to south end of elevation, in segmental-headed recess with hood moulding. Outbuilding to front of site with painted smooth rendered walls and pitched artificial slate roof.

This well-proportioned and tall building is located adjacent to the railway station and forms part of a group of structures built to serve the station. The very large façade is unusual in a rural location and is enhanced by features such as the timber sliding sash windows with decorative cornices and surrounds. Though no longer functioning as a railway hotel the building still holds a social function as a public house.
