This Pub is Temporarily Closed

Hotel with bars and restaurants open to the public.

A Dartmouth landmark on the edge of the boat float, this hotel has two bars, a restaurant and twenty five en-suite rooms. The Harbour Bar is contemporary and has live music every Thursday, while the Galleon is traditional and cosy, with oak panelling and wooden beams. There is a pub like feel to the latter and it is popular with both locals and visitors alike. Superb locally sourced food has earned this hotel an excellent reputation. Ales from Devon and Cornwall are always available. Sold to St. Austell Brewery in February 2020.
