Nestled in the heart of Cornwall in the charming village of Ladock near Truro lies Bissick Old Mill, a small, luxury guesthouse. Dating from the 17th century, Bissick Old Mill remained a working corn mill right up to the late 1960's and has since been sympathetically renovated to maintain its character and charm whilst also providing all modern comforts. We offer a relaxing, comfortable stay in a central location ideal for exploring the whole of Cornwall.
Accommodation is offered in the form of three double en-suite bedrooms in the mill itself and a charming upside down suite in the Granary just across the courtyard. Guests can take advantage of the delightful beamed sitting room with its natural cornish stone fireplace and squashy sofas. Relax with a book or magazine or simply sit and unwind after a long days sightseeing before heading off to sample some of the local ales and fare on offer at the nearby inns and restaurants. Log fires are lit at the weekend (or upon request) in the winter and a selection of OS maps, DVDs, videos and books (including a number of volumes about Cornwall) and CD's are available for guests to borrow during their stay. Breakfast is served in the Mill dining room. There is ample parking for guests cars even at the busiest times. |

| Location " One of the early routes into West Cornwall passed through the beautiful wooded Ladock Valley, and the road was surfaced with Cornish greenstone in the last century. Ladock's almouth Arms was one of a series of coaching inns along the way, where horses could be changed. Local folk who could afford a shilling, could take the "Inkerman" van to Truro on market day. The rather uncomfortable seven mile journey took two hours each way." "Ladock is perfectly situated for visiting the whole of Cornwall, being within easy reach of the magnificent Eden Project, and many beautiful gardens including Trelissick and the Lost Gardens of Heligan." There are some lovely walks to take in and around the village of Ladock itself (feel free to borrow our OS maps). Visit our charming local church which dates from the Norman times and which boasts a beautiful William Morris stained glass window. For evening meals, there is a popular pub within a few yards where you can sample Cornwalls fine ales and there's an excellent selection of pubs and restaurants in nearby villages, the cathedral city of Truro is a mere 7 miles away. To show how central we are here are some distances to local towns / beaches (by road as unlike some other properties and estate agents we know you don't have wings):
