The Merrymoor Inn in Mawgan Porth Cornwall - History and About Us
The Merrymoor Inn was built during the 1930's as a shop called Beachhaven Stores. In 1961 our family took over what had become The Merry Moor Restaurant, over the years this evolved into The Merrymoor Inn when a full licence was obtained and extra bedrooms created. We undertook a massive refurbishment in 2007 resulting in the up to date look you see today. We are looking forward in 2010 to celebrating 50 years as a family run business

The Origins of the Name "The Merrymoor Inn"
The description "Moors" has referred to several historic and modern populations of Muslim (and earlier non-Muslim) people of Berber and Arab descent from North Africa, some of whom came to inhabit the Iberian Peninsula. (Source: Wikipedia)
