Copper Penny Apartments - Hare Lodge
West Devon
View on Google MapsPhoto: Heinz Konrad
Hare Lodge occupies the first floor of a historic inn that sits on the Devon-Cornwall border near Tavistock. The building is Grade II listed, a Georgian structure with genuine period character. You have the whole apartment to yourself: two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious open-plan living area with doors opening onto a balcony where you can take meals or simply watch the countryside.
The main bedroom has a zip-and-link super king (or two singles on request) and an en-suite shower. The second bedroom contains two single beds. The kitchen is fitted with what you need to cook properly—an electric cooker, microwave and fridge—and the living space has a TV and a sofa bed if you need extra sleeping space. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wi-fi are covered. Parking for one car is on-site; one dog stays free.
The apartment sits next to the Copper Penny Inn, a working pub within the grounds. The owners farm locally and run a shop selling their own meat and vegetables, also on-site. The Tamar Valley and its network of trails lie less than a mile away—perfect for walking. Tavistock's market town lies a short drive off, and you're positioned between the river attractions of Morwellham Quay and Cotehele. The coast is about 20 miles south. No smoking inside; arrival is after 15:00 and checkout before 10:00.

What guests say
We walked in and received an unwelcoming stare from 3 members of staff who were sat around talking as if we had just interrupted them. The young girl behind bar seemed polite. We asked if food was being served and our request was met with a huff from one of the ladies sat talking who informed us they weren’t going to do food tonight so will have to wait until an hour later. The looks given by the other two sat down weren’t inviting and made us feel uncomfortable. There was no atmosphere (no background music playing etc) just conversations between staff. We politely paid for a drink and left. Would not return and would not recommend.

We found this little gem on the way home and the staff and food was lovely, The staff were very polite, courteous and warm, They even sung happy birthday to my wife as it was her birthday. We returned the next day for the carvery which was really delicious and well prepared. Thank you for showing us your hospitality skills and the bar maid that served us was very warm and professional so thank you so much for making our visit to Cornwall very enjoyable.

Lovely little place with an attached farm shop. Plenty of covered seating outside to enjoy your meal. The attached farm shop was well stocked with local and independent products and also serves hot drinks and food for travellers passing through. For my fellow wheeled adventurers there is a ramp into the Inn and the shop is flat though the aisles are a little narrow for a chair. I used a walking frame and hitched the seat up to squeeze through without an issue. The owner also offered to move things to make it easier but it really wasn't necessary in my case. The toilets are located outside and kindly left open even when the Inn is closed. There is a disabled toilet accessible with a radar key. We couldn't try the food from the Inn on this visit but we've saved this place in our factories to stop by on our next South West adventure.

We had the Sunday roast here today. The food was really good and plenty of it. The pub has the feel of a family home with all the staff being really helpful and cheerful. Excellent value for money.
