Thornleigh House Bed & Breakfast

Thornleigh House offers a luxury 4 Star 3-room suite, ideal for short or long stays and perfect for families, couples, small groups and independent travellers. We are set in a peaceful village within an area of outstanding natural beauty in the Tamar Valley, overlooking pine forests. We are located within the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, ideally positioned for exploration and activities. Away from the hustle of town life, yet conveniently located for the wide range of activities locally and further afield. The village boasts a traditional inn, with many other local restaurants and inns close by.

Just a few miles from the award winning market town of Tavistock, with the nearby Gunnislake railway station providing a short service to Plymouth, crossing the grand Brunel viaduct at Calstock. The historic house and quay of Cotehele is a stone's throw away. Fantastic for the moors of Bodmin and Dartmoor, perfect for photographers, walkers, cyclists, canoeists, bird-watchers, mining heritage historians and visitors exploring the history, nature, beaches and coastal walks of the area. The Tamar Valley Centre close by offers a wide range of advice, services and activities.

The relaxing and immaculate suite is tastefully decorated and equipped for comfort and quality. The lounge is ideal for relaxing and planning the next day, doubling as a 2nd bedroom for families or small groups.

The Stokes family is committed to providing a quality personal service to our guests. We aim to meet all dietary needs and prefer guests to enjoy their favourite breakfast from our quality breakfast menu, which caters for vegetarians and pescatarians.

Thornleigh House is ideally situated to explore the expansive moors of Bodmin and Dartmoor, with all that they offer. We are 1.5 miles from the Tamar Valley Centre and are perfectly located for visitors to the area, walkers, cyclists, bird-watchers and historians wishing to explore the mining heritage of the region. There are nearby facilities for tree walks (on high ropes), horse-riding, sailing, canoeing and fishing. A 2-hour walk along the Tamar river begins and ends at the house (we can provide a map).
