Location
Located centrally in Cemmaes Road and almost opposite the former station.
History
A railway hotel of c1865-70 located nearly opposite the now disused station. The Newtown to Machnynlleth Railway reached Cemmaes Road in 1863, and was subsequently incorporated into the Cambrian Railway. Cambrian Railways then built a branch line from Dinas Mawddwy to Cemmaes Road which opened in 1867.

Central entrance with half-glazed wooden porch with flat roof and decorative cornice. Cusped archway with openwork spandrels, the flanking and side lights with marginal stained glass. Inside the porch is a panelled door with plain overlight. Flanking and upper storey windows are 12-pane hornless sashes in raised surrounds. Attached to the R of the porch is a post supporting a sign reading 'Dovey Valley Hotel / free house'. The slate hung S gable end has a round-arched C20 window to the attic, and 12-pane sash windows offset to the R of the 1st and ground floors. To the R of the latter is a porch with hipped roof which provides access into the bar. Cellar lights at ground level.
