The Miners Arms is a grade II listed property of exceptional character offering three separate bars and a very spacious five-bedroomed home. The Miners Arms has the benefit of a very large car park which, each year, is the venue for the village ram roast, which always attracts a good attendance.

There are also extensive, well-tended private gardens to the rear.

The whole site extends to approximately 1.15 acres

The Miners Arms lies on the eastern boundary of Plymouth and is close to existing and proposed residential and commercial developments.

The current business is predominantly wet trade with an enviable reputation for draft beer both by gravity and hand pump. Only a limited traditional menu including pot meals, pasties, ploughman's, sandwiches etc is served.
