Melinsey Mill — Restaurant in England

We heard of this workng mill # just one of six remaining out of 700 in Cornwall. We would have liked to have found out alot more, as we have a mill project of our own in the making. You can enjoy good coffee & homemade cake etc and explore the site and the staff were pleasant.

It's a fun place, you can also walk around the water for a mini adventure! Watching the mill work is mesmerising. Friendly service, prompt, it was also lovely to hear the team have fun amoung themselves too. This is a special...
