Summary

Description

Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

Reputedly with 17th century fabric, long and low near symmetrical 2-storey and attic, 6-bay rectangular-plan hotel with later alterations and extensions. Of good streetscape value with 19th century fake half- timbering [Gifford] enlivening the principal SE elevation.

Door openings to 2nd and 5th bays with flanking windows at ground floor, windows to 1st floor set at eaves. Pronounced base course to entire elevation.

Knowledge of local building types in Bridgend, and 19th century maps indicate that the current building probably was originally composed of a row of single storey cottages and was raised and united in the 19th century to form the hotel. An adjoined building to the SW was demolished in the later 19th century.

The main entrance to the hotel is situated to the slightly setback L-plan 20th century single storey and attic house which is wrapped around the NE gable. There are various 19th and 20th century extensions to the rear including a 19th century rectangular-plan function room with a large modern conservatory added in 2000.

Interior

The interior is characterised by its very low ceilings at both ground and 1st floor. There are 2 small former window openings to the ground floor (remaining as curios) to what would have been the original rear wall of the building. The thickness of the walls is demonstrated by the window embrasures. Some of the 1st floor bedrooms have had their attic floors removed with the space left open to the roof, the dormer windows have been left.

Materials

White painted rendered walls, black timber boarding arranged in geometric designs to the principal elevation and partly to exposed section of NE gable. Various glazing styles including; diamond patterned 20th century metal windows (with top opening ventilation panel) to ground floor bar windows, timber multi-paned casement windows to 1st floor bedrooms, and timber sash and case to dormer windows. Grey slates to various pitched roofs, 3 canted dormer windows with overhanging gablets to principal elevation. Gable apex stacks with shaped cans to SW and NE.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
