Pilgrims Rest
Modern Self Catering apartment in old chapel
ABOUT
Pilgrims Rest is a recently converted two bedroom apartment in ​an old 19th century chapel in the Cornish mining village of Gunnislake.
Unusually for this area we have off road covered car parking available for guests. However a car is not absolutely necessary as Gunnislake has its own train station with regular trains to Plymouth. There is also an hourly bus service to Tavistock the local market town
​
Gunnislake is situated on the river Tamar and is in an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) on the edge of the Dartmoor national park.
