The Accommodation
Enjoy a relaxing break in a former workhouse in the centre of Mylor Bridge, a popular creekside sailing village. Old School House, Grade II listed, was built as a workhouse in 1827 and became a family home a century later.

The present owner offers quality... Instead of the workhouse diet of broth, vegetables, and rice milk, you will be offered a full Cornish breakfast prepared using fresh local ingredients. Bed & Breakfast in a friendly, non-smoking house.

The three bedrooms, two double and one twin, have been redecorated and all have a hostess tray, colour television, radio alarm and hairdryer.

Mylor is close to the sheltered waters of the River Fal and an ideal base for touring Cornwall and its spectacular scenery and gardens. The wide range of restaurants and caf�s in the area, including The Lemon Arms opposite and the pretty thatched Pandora Inn a few minutes drive away, gives guests plenty of choice in the evening.

The full range of facilities offered at The Old School House:

  • A full Cornish breakfast is served between 8.30 and 9.15am. This may include cereals, yoghurt, fresh and stewed fruit, local free range eggs, bacon, sausages, hogs pudding, tomatoes, mushrooms and freshly-made coffee, tea and toast.
  • Vegetarian and special diets can be provided if advised in advance.
  • The three bedrooms, two double and one twin, all have a hostess tray, colour television, radio alarm and hairdryer.
  • As an incoming guest you will be welcomed from 5.00pm onwards and as a departing guest will have left by 10.30am.
  • The owners regret that Casper, the resident cat, refuses to share his home with other pets!
  • For the safety and comfort of all our guests we operate a "No Smoking" policy.
