Restaurant/Dining
The Church House is a classic example of a warm and welcoming country pub that has evolved into a food-led destination. Offering stylish dining, a comfortable bar, and quality accommodation, it’s perfectly set up for an experienced hospitality operator ready to make their mark in one of Devon’s most desirable areas. This is a rare chance to take on a thriving, versatile business that combines excellent local trade with strong tourist appeal - from beachgoers and locals to holidaymakers exploring the stunning coastline and countryside.
The Church House blends traditional charm with contemporary comfort.
Inside, the pub offers three distinct trading areas totalling 80 covers:
- A welcoming bar area with a classic country pub atmosphere
- A restaurant area offering relaxed yet refined dining
- A function room/conservatory, perfect for private events or group bookings
The décor throughout is cosy and characterful, featuring a mix of intimate dining spaces and a charming snug area for around 12 diners. The well-equipped trade kitchen includes a walk-in fridge and is ideally designed to deliver a quality food offer with efficiency and consistency.
The Church House offers 4 letting bedrooms, each full of rustic charm and ideal for short breaks or weekend stays. With demand for accommodation in the South Hams region at an all-time high, these rooms provide a valuable additional income stream and strengthen the site’s position as a true destination pub.
Externally, the Church House continues to impress. The large patio area features three attractive beach huts/pods for outside dining or private group experiences - a unique selling point that adds charm and flexibility to the offer. The pub also benefits from a 22-space car park.
A smaller private garden, currently used by residents, could easily be adapted for additional trade use, providing opportunities for al fresco dining, afternoon teas, or exclusive events.
The private accommodation comprises one bedroom, lounge, bathroom, and kitchen - perfect for an on-site operator or management couple.
