Occupying a site
recorded in the Doomsday book, The Waterman's Arms is a quintessential 17th
century inn situated at the head of Bow Creek which is a tributary of the river
Dart. Located in the South Hams, an area of outstanding beauty, the inn nestles
in a picturesque valley where kingfishers can be seen flying up and down the
creek.
Throughout the centuries The Waterman's Arms has had a variety of uses. It was
once the haunt of the feared press gangs who used to "recruit" unsuspecting
drinkers by dropping the King's shilling into their tankards. The inn has also
been used as a smithy and at one time a prison although it is difficult to
imagine a more delightful situation in which to be incarcerated !!!
The present inn now has 15 comfortable en-suite letting rooms is ideal for both
holidaymakers and business people alike. Open fires will be found at the bar,
which is open all day, along with an excellent selection of real ales and a
comprehensive wine list. Our chefs are passionate about using fresh locally
sourced food which is delivered daily. Practically all ingredients for our
breakfast are sourced from farms no more than a mile away.
For residents who are golf enthusiasts we have set up special deals with out of play.com.
