context_page_description: The Owain Glyndwr Hotel is a Grade II-listed inn in Corwen, Denbighshire, Wales named after the Welsh hero Owain Glyndŵr. It is. The hotel was built in the mid-eighteenth century, but incorporates elements of an earlier structure on the site. It is reportedly the location where the first public Welsh Eisteddfod was held in the late eighteenth century.
context_section_description: The exterior walls of the two-storey main building are painted, coursed and square stone. The hipped slate roof has three gabled dormers and red-tiled decorative cresting with finials. The later wing has a similar roof, albeit with two paired sets of dormers on either side of the front wall stack, although the walls are roughcast rendered with smooth rendered dressings enriched with some terracotta. Two doors with radial fanlights lead inside from the central Corinithian portico porch. An eighteenth-century staircase and several six-panelled interior doors have survived. Substantial ceiling timbers remain at the rear of the main building as do other features that related to the earlier building.
