Ta Mill Lodge (log cabin)

Home description

Ta Mill is a secluded rural hideaway nestling in a peaceful hollow of 45 acres on the fringes of Bodmin Moor. Surrounded by rolling countryside, it is an idyllic place in which to relax and unwind. This tranquil setting offers an escape from the pressures of everyday life in a quiet ambiance where nature thrives. Magnificent birds of prey can be seen swooping down the valley and nesting swallows are spotted in every corner. Ewes and lambs gambol in the surrounding fields and you can get close to new born lambs in Spring. A babbling brook meanders through the grounds, past the peaceful duck pond and into the pretty copse. It continues through a picturesque valley of blossoming gorse and dramatic stone outcrops.

Stay in our beautiful detached two bedroomed lodge with sunny southfacing verandas offering spectacular views across valley or overlooking wildlife pond. Choose from scandinavian style meadowview or classic log cabin brookview lodge, both offering high quality accommodation.

This nature trail leads you through a beautiful valley of dramatic stone outcrops and blossoming gorse. In the Spring, the bright yellow gorse and white blossom of the blackthorn contrast with the stunning grey slate rocks. Later in early Summer the hillside is adorned with purple foxgloves.
