A warm welcome awaits you at The Weary Ploughman near Brixham, a Restaurant, Bar and Hotel located on the A3022, the main road that runs from Paignton to Brixham. The Weary Ploughman was originally built as a railway hotel in the 1890s and sits alongside the Paignton to Kingswear Steam Railway station at Churston. From Kingswear it is only a ferry ride across the river to Dartmouth. We are a few minutes walk away from the Churston Golf Club, with Brixham a five minute drive further along the A3022. "Greenway House" Agatha Christie's holiday home on the banks of the River Dart has recently been restored by the National Trust and is only 2 miles away. Inside, the Weary Ploughman has been extensively upgraded and provides a relaxed ambience in which to meet up with friends, family or business associates to relax and drink from our range of real ales and fine wines chosen with care from the best brewers and wine merchants. The Weary Ploughman has a choice of tastefully refurbished individually styled kingsize & super-king size double and family bedrooms each with a lovely ambience of comfort and relaxation, all with ensuite bathroom & shower. All rooms have colour television, WiFi, tea & coffee facilities, central heating, quiet ceiling fans, a hair dryer and complimentary use of towels and toiletries. South Devon has an abundance of local produce and our Head Chef, Dominic Bryant, and his team take real pleasure in turning the great local produce into tasty wholesome dishes for you to enjoy. Our fish and shellfish come from local suppliers; our lamb comes from Blackawton near Dartmouth; our ham & gammon from Ashburton on the edge of Dartmoor; all our beef, pork, sausages and chicken is supplied by West Country butchers and our free-range eggs come from Marldon, just off the Torbay ring road. Even the beer we use to make our renowned Steak and Ale pie is brewed just ten minutes away at the ever growing Bays Brewery!
