Property info

Proudly voted Best B&B in Devon 2025–26 at the Devon Tourism Awards, One Drake Road is our lovingly restored Victorian townhouse in the heart of Tavistock — a building with a story to tell. Built in the 19th century, the house has lived many lives and has been carefully brought back to life with respect for its past and a clear sense of who we are today. High ceilings, original proportions and period details sit comfortably alongside relaxed, characterful interiors shaped by our own eclectic style. Nothing is accidental and nothing is generic; each space has been designed to feel warm, calm and genuinely welcoming. Over time, One Drake Road has grown into a small collection of places to stay. Alongside our award-winning bed and breakfast, we offer four thoughtfully designed self-catering apartments in Tavistock and a charming cottage in nearby Calstock, Cornwall. Each has the same ethos at its heart: a true home-from-home where comfort, quality and personality matter. We believe great stays are built on the details. Supremely comfortable beds dressed in high-quality linens, Neal’s Yard organic toiletries, and warm, intuitive service that never feels intrusive. It’s all about creating space to slow down, settle in and feel looked after. Rooted in Tavistock’s rich heritage and surrounded by the beauty of Dartmoor and the Tamar Valley, One Drake Road offers relaxed, thoughtful hospitality that stands the test of time — personal, characterful and full of heart.

Neighborhood info

Tavistock is a thriving, beautiful friendly market town that is worthy of any visitor. An ancient stannary town and home of the cream tea, Tavistock is the only town in Devon to hold world heritage status. The vibrancy and uniqueness of Tavistock is undeniable with a range of beautiful local independent shops which are a far cry from today's typical high street. Not to be overlooked is the famous pannier market or the award-winning farmers’ market. It is truly a shoppers paradise.
