4 miles to the East of Callington, 7 miles from the market town of Tavistock in West Devon. The village is only 18 miles from Plymouth city centre and
therefore within commuting distance via Tavistock or the Tamar Bridge at Saltash.
The surrounding Tamar Valley is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the National Trust owned Cotehele House and Quay is two miles
from the village. There are also many sporting and recreational facilities available in the immediate area, as well as nearby golf courses at Tavistock
and the internationally renowned and recently redeveloped St Mellion Golf & Country Club.

GENERAL INFORMATION
BUSINESS
The Carpenters Arms is a successful and welcoming village inn which draws trade
not only from the immediate area but from a wide reaching catchment area
reaching into South East Cornwall and Devon. Trade is steady year-round but swells
in the summer months with the influx of visitors to the area.
The pub is currently run under management and trades strongly at around £6,000
per week. The Carpenters is very much a traditional pub with a healthy mix of wet
and dry revenue. The pub offers well priced home cooked pub staples with a wide
range of local real ales to compliment. Stonebaked pizzas are a speciality. Sunday
lunches are very popular as are the regular Steak nights and live music evenings.
The Carpenters is open 4-10pm Monday to Wednesdays and 12 – 10pm Thursdays to
Saturdays, Sundays 12 – 7pm.
The substantial living accommodation above the pub would lend itself to extended
family use or alternatively letting accommodation.
