The original Cymmer Station building (opened 1885, closed 1970) is a single storey building of stone, unusual in that it also doubled as a refreshment room from the 1890s. The main bar has fittings from that time: a panelled bar counter (but the bar top is modern) and a five-bay mirrored bar back with a third bay. A door (has a figure '5' on it) for staff; on the right are two drawers with cupboards below them. The main bar has a dado of old panelling and a wood surround fireplace. On the mantelpiece is a photo, taken in the 1940s, in the bar.

There is a further mirrored bar back to the left of two bays with a row of drawers. It straddles an arch in the servery area between the main bar and a smaller bar to the left. The left hand bar has another panelled bar counter with a black Formica top. The fireplace was opened out in the 1990s and has a large plain mirror above, some old dado panelling but 1960s (?) fixed seating. Double doors lead to a dining room at the rear left constructed in the 1990s.

A further small room on the right has more dado panelling. and a metal surround fireplace. A gap leads to the far right pool room, again constructed in the 1990s, with modern dado.
