The Dartmoor Inn nestles in the beautiful valley at Merrivale on the Western fringes of Dartmoor National Park, some 5 miles from Tavistock. The property fronts the B3357 which is one of the main routes through the Park, linking Tavistock with Ashburton in the South. Princetown is approximately 5 miles East of Merrivale.
The hamlet is dominated by the former Merrivale granite quarry which closed in 1997. Some of the finest London buildings and Old London Bridge, now in the usa, are adorned by Merrivale grey granite. The few buildings surrounding the Inn were originally built for quarry workers and are now private houses. Plymouth Sound is visible from surrounding Tors and the Eddystone lighthouse, some 30 miles distant is often seen on clear evenings. The popular and world renowned Merrivale Prehistoric Settlement and Stone Rows is a short walk from the Dartmoor Inn.
An attractive 2 Storey semi-detached property with whitewashed elevations under a pitched roof. The property has benefitted from a recent major refurbishment and has a lovely rustic charm throughout.

The Business
The Dartmoor Inn is a well-known ‘Landmark pub’ and very successful business situated in the beautiful Dartmoor National Park. The Inn is frequented by locals and regulars from the Moor and its fringe towns throughout the year with trade boosted significantly by visitors to the Moor, which is one of Devon’s most popular visitor attractions.
The Inn provides a warm welcome with several local ales on offer together with a varied wine list, bar menu and a la carte menu with daily specials. The Inn has become very well known for its succulent cuts of grass fed beef and lamb, cooked over Ox Grill in front of customers. All produce is both fresh and sourced locally where possible.
The sale of the Dartmoor Inn subject to the existing short term lease provides unusual opportunity to secure this landmark pub with the initial benefit of a healthy rental income and options to either re-let or occupy in later years.
