A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
A long lunch beside the water
An old waterside inn in Tuckenhay, with riverside tables, seasonal food and rooms for turning a countryside lunch into a slower stay.
The Maltsters sits close to the water in the small village of Tuckenhay, a separate countryside outing from Totnes. The setting is a large part of the appeal: boats, wooded banks and outdoor tables when the weather allows. Inside, the pub serves seasonal food and offers bedrooms. Plan around a meal, leave time for the view, and enjoy a gentler pace by the creek.
