Appraisal
This hotel, situated on the main Mallow to Dublin road, presents an interesting roadside landmark. It displays many interesting features, particularly in its terracotta finials and carved bargeboards and also the canted bay windows and moulded window surrounds. It may have originally been five bays and two storeys, being later extended in length and height.
