About The Inn:
Upon your arrival, the innkeepers or their helpful staff
welcome you into a world of tranquility and romance, and provide the
warm caring service which will make your stay at the Mill Rose Inn an
unforgettable experience.
Terry and Eve moved to Half Moon Bay in 1970. With Eve's
background in interior and floral design and Terry's background as a
landscape contractor, they had a fantasy of creating a gracious bed and
breakfast known for its beautiful gardens.
After years of renovating an early 1900's cottage in the
heart of Half Moon Bay, their dream became a reality when the Mill Rose
Inn welcomed it's first guests in 1982 as San Mateo County's first bed
and breakfast Inn.
Delight in spacious flower filled rooms and suites. Take
in the warmth of the afternoon sun from your window seat; curl up by the
fireplace in your room, in the front parlor, or in the library.
Mingle with other guests and enjoy the afternoon wine

European antiques that complement every room.
