Two Mile Oak Inn, Abbotskerswell

The earliest reference to the building as an Inn is in the Tithe Map of 1839, although the name of the farm can be traced back to an advert for its sale in 1784. It serves its ales from a stillage behind the bar. It is a delightful 2 bar olde-worlde pub with wooden floors, black oak beams, part timber panelled and painted stone walls, and inglenook fireplaces complete with wood burners. The pleasant beer garden has views of the Dartmoor and a smokers hut

Historic Interest

A three roomed farmhouse, Grade II listed, dating from the 17th century with later additions. The internal room arrangement has been considerably altered, probably when the building was converted to an inn, and the major partitions removed.

The building dates from the 17th-century: it was once a farmhouse and has with 19th- and 20th- century extensions. Good front porch with bare benches either side leading to a tiny internal lobby with 1930s looking leaded panels in a screen and a split door that looks like it may have been the off-sales in the past. On the left is the public bar with an old possibly 1930s, old dado panelling, some wall benches, and old stone fireplace with unusual low upholstered benches around it. The bar back area is mostly taken up with a modern stillage of casks of Draught Bass and Otter Bitter.

On the right of the lobby is a door with leaded panels leading to the lounge with a sloping panelled bar counter that could date from the 1930s (or later?), old looking bar back fitting with small pieces of glass decoration which could date from the 1960s, an old stone fireplace, old bench seating attached to the wall and an unusual small alcove near the door. A wide opening leads to two other rooms on the right - first has a modern flagstone floor and antique settle - up two steps is a more genuine-looking flagstone floored room with more settles and beamed ceiling. It is difficult to work out what this room was originally - might even been the original public bar before 1930s?

There is an exterior window at the rear of the public bar so the rear entrance and toilets must represent a recent extension.
