The property

Stay in a historic Devon inn! This enchanting Grade II*-listed inn provides spacious and stylish accommodation to cater to the needs of your celebratory getaway with friends and family. The Old Church House in Torbryan is one of England's oldest and most unique inns; dating from the 13th century it is steeped in history and folklore. Add to that its special location nestled in a picturesque village between majestic Dartmoor and Devon's glorious south coast, and you have the perfect venue for a special getaway. The venue comfortably accommodates up to 24 people and can provide a range of services tailored to your needs, whether it's a family celebration, friends getaway or business away event. The venue is centred around the atmospheric bar, which over the centuries has welcomed Elizabeth I, Henry VIII (see the indentures on the walls) and, more recently, Arthur Conan Doyle, who is reputed to have developed the idea for The Hound of the Baskervilles at the inn. On arrival, your choice of ale, cider and lager will be on tap (first barrel included in the price - there is a surcharge for some products), along with a tailored selection of wines and spirits if required. A range of tasting/ mixology classes can be arranged at the bar to enhance your 'private pub' experience. Surrounding the bar, there are multiple leisure areas to enjoy; a cosy lounge/library centred around a large log fire, a snooker room, a darts alley and snugs. The inn has a large kitchen with fridges, freezer, microwave, dishwasher and a professional range cooker with induction hob: you can enjoy any meals you prepare here in the split-level dining room. Or if you'd prefer a touch of luxury local chefs and caterers can be organised to supply anything from a buffet to a Hog roast! On sunny days take advantage of the beer garden with its large lawned area and ample seating, or head back inside to utilise the bar; a band can be organised to play for you on request. At the end of your day choose from eleven bedrooms each based on Dartmoor life! If you can tear yourself away from this magnificent property, the picturesque Dartmoor National Park offers a wealth of walking, hiking and cycling trails and a range of outdoor activities; an outdoor enthusiast's haven! The breathtaking coast of Devon is also within reach, hop in the car to reach the popular seaside town of Paignton where you can while away sunny days on the stretches of golden sand or head to Torquay for an idyllic stroll around the harbour; either way, the views are amazing! Make unforgettable memories with the whole family at The Old Church House!
