Built in 1271, The Tinners Arms has been at the heart of village life in Zennor for over 700 years.
The Tinners was originally built to accommodate the masons who constructed St Senara’s Church – famous for its 600-year old Mermaid of Zennor bench. Yet, you’ll find little has changed over the years as modern life slips away as you step inside.
“At Zennor one sees infinite Atlantic, all peacock-mingled colours, and the gorse is sunshine itself. Zennor is a most beautiful place: a tiny granite village nestling under high shaggy moor-hills and a big sweep of lovely sea beyond, such a lovely sea lovelier even than the Mediterranean. It is the best place I have been in, I think.”
DH Lawrence, who resided at the Tinners Arms for a fortnight, in 1916.
Nestled between the moors and rugged Atlantic coast in the village of Zennor, The White House Bed and Breakfast is an ideal base for exploring Cornwall’s untrammelled far west. Built in 1838, the Grade II listed building is full of Cornish character. With The Tinners Arms pub, dating back to 1271, and St Senara’s church, home to the famous mermaid, on your doorstep – not to mention miles of dramatic coast path–you’ll find plenty of reasons to keep coming back, all year round.
