The hotel was built in 1841. It was intended to serve overnight guests making the rail journey from London Euston, and who intended to continue to Scotland by steamship. The point of departure being nearby. It was at one time, in the Victorian period, owned by the War Department and used for military purposes. Later it reverted to use as an hotel, and has been through many changes of ownership. It is now owned by a local family who have been updating it. At the front of the semi-circular building, is what appears to be a modern entrance to the hotel's Victoria Bar. That doesn't seem to blend particularly well with the rest of the exterior, but that's a purely personal view of course. Image
