Simply - seasonal dining in relaxed surroundings………… Our award wining boutique townhouse offers a property with a unique twist, a quirky alternative with an edge of tradition and offers an area for all occasions. When we took over Browns Hotel in 2006, we were emphatic that our renovation of this 18th Century Tavistock town house preserved the building's original features, whilst also sympathetically bringing the different rooms up to date with unusual, modern decoration. Browns Hotel comprises of seven distinct but smoothly linked spaces which all enjoy uniqueness whilst offering a sophisticated atmosphere. The profusion of old and new all contribute to ensuring the event is one that will be remembered by everyone as very special.A completely unique 17th century coaching inn which looks quaint from the outside and exudes heritage, once you enter the property, tardis–like, the space opens up into multiple areas including a candlelit dining room, intimate library, elegant orangery, comfortable wine bar and lounges, secret rooftop garden and sunny, inviting alfresco cobbled court-yard.It really has a fantastic central location and an overwhelming distinctness' to the property. We feel there is something about this building that creates a special ambience. Whether that's the abundance of atmospheric candles in the evenings, the unobtrusive music we play or the comfortable furnishings, it's our aim to make every aspect of a meal at Browns Hotel a wholly enjoyable experience.
With floor to ceiling stone walls on both sides, crisp white linen napkins on the large oak tables and eye-catching modern art on the walls, the restaurant dining room is light, airy and elegant.
A stunning contemporary addition to the traditional architecture of Browns, the stylish interior of the airy conservatory is perfect for sunlit lunches and candlelit intimate dinners. Still and sparkling water is bottled on the premises and drawn from the hotel's well – positioned under a glass panel in the Orangery. The well is believed to date from Roman Times. The orangery is also available to hire for canapé receptions, private dining, or hire privately for corporate breakfasts and presentations.
If you would rather have a quick bite to eat, a shopping break coffee or a chat over a chic cocktail then settle into the lounge bar and enjoy its relaxed atmosphere. Rather like a chameleon, the lounges at Browns has a nifty ability to adapt depending on the circumstances. Pop in on a mid-week morning and you will find quiet, calm space which is ideal for informal meetings or catch-ups with friends over a latte. Return on a Friday night and you will find a buzz of conversation that is punctuated by the chatter of ice happily rattling around the cocktail shakers.
Whenever you visit, you will find yourself in the best bar in town.
