The impressive feature of this three-roomed pub is the glazed screen around the servery, one of very few left in Wales. There is another at the Dovey Valley Hotel, Cemmaes Road and a more modest one at the Fox, Ysceifiog. Opposite a hatch there is a narrow snug with tongue-and-grooved panelling on the walls and pointed ceiling. Fixed seating runs down both sides and at the end is a small extension containing a dining room. The lounge bar at the front was two small rooms until 2000 and has a bar counter possibly added c1960 and fireplace of similar age. The public bar at the rear has bar fittings that could also date from c.1960 and a small extension containing a pool table.
