This is the oldest licensed premises in Tavistock. Formerly Brown’s Hotel, this was acquired by JDW as one of their growing number of hotels in mid-2015. During the refurbishment, a "Holy Well" was discovered which once provided fresh water to Tavistock Abbey. It is now visible in a central area of the pub. Brown’s Hotel was formerly the Queen’s Head, an 18th century coaching inn with extensive stabling and yards and and situated on one of Tavistock’s main thoroughfares. The usual range of JDW food and drink is served. Several beer and cider festivals are held, including a Devon real ale festival.
