Originally built as a nunnery in 1437 (but may have been 50 years earlier) by French Benedictine monks and reported to have been visited by Charles I. The pub overlooks an old bridge on the River Tamar, connecting Cornwall to Devon. The central bar serves the bar area and lounge both featuring half panelling, stone floors, log fires and traditional styling. A further larger room is found off the lounge. It also has a terraced garden with sheltered seating and free WiFi. All the beers are served on gravity; the locally sourced food is recommended.
Please note: Bus service is very limited.

Listed status: II
An early 19th-century building with pointed Gothic windows characteristic of the time. The nearby bridge, built in 1437, was the lowest on the Tamar until the one at Gunnislake was constructed. A seal leaded into the granite step as you enter the porch was reputedly given by Charles 1 for "services rendered". The public bar is the original part of the pub and has slate-flagged floors and painted rubblestone walls. The bar counter used to face you as you entered but a major remodelling in the 1950s saw it shifted to the side to create an island arrangement serving both bars - it's an excellent example of so-called "publican’s rustic". The fireplace is basically original but had a lintel added during the changes. The lounge was created in the refit from former living quarters. The bar counter on this side is a rather ugly slatted and grooved affair and the fireplace, stonework and benching are all typical of the period. A restaurant beyond occupies a later extension but doesn't impinge.
