Providing High Quality Guest House & Self Catering Accommodation on the edge of the North Yorkshire National Park
Welcome to The Cornmill at Kirby Mills
Who we are
Your hosts are Karen and Chris Tinkler and we will be delighted to welcome you to our home. We have been here since 2002 and continue to look for ways to improve your stay with us, as some of you who have been here before will recognise from the pictures!
We offer bed and breakfast and self-catering cottage accommodation on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, half way between Helmsley and Pickering and conveniently for Castle Howard, Rievaulx Abbey, York and the North Yorkshire Coast.
Come and visit us
There are records in the Domesday book of a watermill in Kirby Mills. The present Cornmill was built around 1750 and was a working watermill until the mid-1950’s. The mill race can still be seen via a glass viewing panel running beneath the dining room. The guest rooms are in the farm house (added around 1850) and the cottages are in what was the old stable block. All three buildings – plus reception - encircle the courtyard, which provides a haven of tranquillity (with seating, so you can relax).
Please also feel free to enjoy sitting in the garden (where we grow our own vegetables that we use in season) or wander through the paddocks bordering our stretch of the River Dove.
There’s a wealth of birdlife in the paddocks, including wild ducks, moorhens, stray grouse and pheasant, wood pigeons, etc., plus – if you keep your eyes peeled, a kingfisher and an owl.
We offer wireless broadband access for our guests and goose and duck down pillows and duvets are offered as standard, although we can provide non-allergy bedding or blankets if you prefer.
