The three-storeyed Spread Eagle Hotel was built in the earlier part of the nineteenth century as a coaching inn though today its upper floors have been converted into flats.
The building's ground floor formerly housed a public bar and a shop, with a door in the centre of the block giving access to the hotel rooms above. The facade of the building is faced with droved ashlar, where the mason has given the stone a corrugated appearance by carving parallel lines in it. On Abbey Row, at the rear of the hotel, is a courtyard where coaches would have drawn up, and within what was formerly a garage there is evidence of earlier floor levels showing considerable rebuilding.
