Cadw records that this building has apparently medieval and early 16th century origins, and some of the rubble walling seems to survive from then. It was altered in the 17th and 18th centuries. Its external appearance and all features are almost entirely early/mid 19th century and later. Its overall character is of a Tudor Revival building of c1840 which has been overlaid by many changes made during the upgrading of the building to a hotel in the later 20th century. It is said to have been built on the site of a Cistercian priory probably dating from the 12th century. It was a private house of the Morgan family from 1450 to 1835.
