 [Calstock was a river quay in Saxon times and the town as it stands today has grown up around one of the oldest crossings on the Tamar.
With its huddle of old world houses - one terrace looking down on another, and steep narrow streets rushing down to the waters edge, Calstock looks as much like a Cornish sea port as it does a river quay town.
The Tamar Inn, once known as ‘The Tamar Herrings Hotel’ is believed to date from the early 17th Century - a period of economic prosperity fuelled by a rise in demand for the vast reserves of Copper and Tin available in the area.
It’s setting - beside the river and right at the heart of the village has always made it a favourite watering hole for locals and visitors alike.
The Grade II Listed Building you see today has been extensively added to during the 18th and 19th centuries, with the final addition of the restaurant in the late 1990’s - though the buildings front aspect remains unchanged.
The pub had become somewhat run down and had eventually closed by the time it was purchased in 2003 by Dougal and Sam Maynard.
Now thriving again following extensive and sympathetic restoration, this family owned Free House guarantees a warm welcome and great service.
