History
Earlier to mid C19 three-storey inn by main approach to Llandeilo Bridge, presumably built for the custom from the turnpike road. Marked on the 1841 Tithe Map as owned by John Gwynne of Tregib, occupied by William Marsden, with 10.94 hectares.

Three-storey, 3-window range with small modillion eaves cornice, horned 4-pane sashes (square to upper floor) and centre 6-panel door in mid C19 classical surround. Surround has pilasters with facetted blocks to pedestals, frieze, cornice with modillions and rosettes, and top ridged blocking course. Stuccoed panel between upper floors 'Tregeyb Arms'. Blank N end wall. Two-storey service wing to S has one plate glass sash each floor and roughcast S end stack. Rear has one centre first floor stair light. Lean-tos on ground floor.
