Listed status: Not listed
Multi-roomed pub with one of the largest collections of high-backed settles in the country. The main door leads into a lobby with what looks like an off-sales hatch with colourful stained-glass window. Doors to the left and right also sport stained-glass panels. On the left, the Tinners Bar retains an old bar counter, wall seating and stone fireplace but the bar-back fitting is modern and this clearly comprised two small rooms at one time. The right-hand bar has a difficult-to-date counter and bar-back and is opened-up to a room to the right with an old stone fireplace. Beyond this is the 'lounge area' - a separate room brought into use quite recently. Finally, a tiny snug at the rear has old wall seating and two more high-backed settles which may have come from elsewhere. On the wall of the right-hand bar are examples of Lydford pennies - silver pennies of AD 1000 from the Lydford Mint
Multi-roomed pub with one of the largest collections of high backed settles in the country. The main door leads into a lobby with what looks like an off-sales hatch with colourful stained and leaded window. Doors to the left and right also have stained and leaded panels in them (possibly from the 1930s?) - the one on the left is of three hares, that on the right is of a kings head. On the left the Tinners Bar retains an old bar counter, old wall seating, old stone fireplace but the bar back fitting is modern and the room was clearly two small rooms at some time in the past - was amalgamated with a former kitchen in the 1980s.
The right hand bar has a counter which may be 30/40 years old - the bar back fitting is difficult to date being a mixture of old and new wood. This bar is opened-up to a room to the right with an old stone fireplace. Beyond this is the 'lounge area' - a separate room which appears to have been brought into use in c.1990. It has a Delabole slate floor and old stone fireplace. Finally, a tiny snug at the rear has old wall seating and another two high backed settles which are loosely fitting so may have come from elsewhere. Outside gents now accessed via the patio. On the wall of the right hand bar are examples of Lydford pennies - silver pennies of AD 1000 from the Lydford Mint. .
