About Us

The Rock Inn has always been and remains Yelverton’s Premier Free House. Parts of the building date back to the time of Drake, and the “wet Rock” is one of the oldest buildings in Yelverton, the “dry Rock”, also known as Udel Tor or Roborough Rock is clearly visible on Roborough Down.

Originally a Coaching House, the building was converted from a private house in the early 1800’s. The Rock Hotel, under the ownership of the Langton family since 1880's, held a prestigious three star AA rating from 1935 until 1966, when it was renamed The Rock Inn by George Langton. Georges’ father, Algy Langton, Grandfather of the present proprietors, Sue and Paul, was the instigator of the continuous alterations and improvements to the original building. Photographs bearing witness to the various stages of the developments can be seen in the Lounge Bar.

As the next generation are already involved in the business, you can be assured of a warm welcome, now and in the future! You may also like to visit our other charming inn www.whitchurchinn.co.uk just a few miles toward Tavistock.
