Watermill Inn
Welcome to our unique pub and restaurant located in an 18th century watermill, and situated in extensive natural gardens.
About us
Situated in beautiful surroundings, The Watermill nestles on the Old Coach Road in Lelant, near St Ives & Hayle, in extensive gardens with a stunning panorama across open countryside.
The mill was built in the late 1700s by the Trevethow Manor Estate. Operating as a grain mill, it supplied the growing population employed in the foundries and other industries in Hayle and surrounding areas.
The mill processed grain until around 1880 and was then converted to pump water to the Trevethow Manor and to a reservoir in the village.
The existing water wheel, made by Harris Foundry in Wadebridge, was installed at that time and continued to pump water to Trevethow as late as the 1960s.
When the mill ceased to operate it became a riding stable. Then in the 1970s, it was restored and became a tea room. Since then, it has evolved into the delightful pub and restaurant you see today.
