Welcome to Tinhay Mill Bed & Breakfast
Suzanne & Stephen welcome you to Tinhay Mill
Our quaint cottage has a cosy and relaxing atmosphere which we find helps our guests to unwind. Previously two 16th century mill cottages, this special old house with its beamed ceilings and open fire places has plenty of timeless charm.
Ideally located on the Devon and Cornwall border for exploring historical landmarks, rugged coasts and the natural beauty of the West Country.
Sandwiched between Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor with the North Coast just a 30 minute drive away will ensure there's always plenty to enjoy from Port Issac (Doc Martin country), Boscastle, and the famous King Arthur's ruins at Tintagel to the Eden Project.
Tinhay lies between the historic towns of Okehampton, Tavistock with Buckland Abbey, (Sir Francis Drake's birthplace) and just across the River Tamar into Cornwall, Launceston, a quaint market town with its museum and Norman castle.
Whether you're holidaying in the West Country, fishing the many rivers available or on business, Tinhay is the ideal location and setting from which to start your day.

Features
The Cottage
Tinhay Mill is a 16th Century dwelling, formerly two mill cottages. Made from cob, a natural building material consisting of sand, clay and some kind of fibrous material such as straw, it would have originally been thatched. The ceilings are made from oak beams and a large chimney runs centrally up through the heart of the house which is still in service today to heat the guest's breakfast room. The thick walls provide a welcome coolness in the summer months and lock in the heat during the winter. With its quiet village location and near to the A30, this character guest house really is the ideal retreat from which to explore Devon and Cornwall any time of year.
BreakfastGuests enjoy their breakfast in our quaint breakfast room named "Wild Garlic". Sit comfortably on Victorian carved wooden chairs surrounded by antiques and oddities in this period styled room heated by the cosy log burner. Attentive service is always guaranteed by your host Suzanne, who will always make you feel comfortable and welcome.
RelaxAfter a long day exploring all that Devon and Cornwall has to offer why not unwind by the fireside or on the sun patio, depending on the time of the year.
