Large windows provide natural light to the main bar areas, while the interior often features period details such as wood panelling, decorative cornices, and solid wood flooring.
The upper floors of the Pantygwydr Hotel historically served as private accommodation or guest rooms, accessed by an internal staircase from the main bar area.

The premises corner position and multiple access points enhance its adaptability, enabling separate entrances for different uses and efficient circulation.
