History of Wyndham Arms, Clearwell (General)

Does anyone happen to know the history of the Wyndham Arms, at Clearwell? How old is the building? how long has it been a public house/hotel?
On an 1841 map there is a house and garden on the site, owned by the Earl of Dunraven. There is no mention of it being an inn. Neither can I find an "innkeeper" on the 1841 or 1851 census (except for a John MORGAN, in '51, but seemingly in the wrong location). I stayed a night in the hotel a few years ago, and didn't get the impression that the building is particularly old.
