Wonderful Holiday
We have just returned from an amazing holiday. The accommodation was of adequate size for our family of 4, along with the dog. We stayed for two weeks so had plentiful opportunities to visit various places including the use of the hotel facilities, which were superb! It is right on the South West coastal path, which was ideal for beautiful coastal walks (each day) with our dog. During our stay, we visited: Polurrian Cove, Poldhu Cove, Mullion Harbour and Cove (dog friendly), St Ives, Penzance, Falmouth, Helford Passage, Mousehole, Newlyn, Kennack Sands Beach (dog friendly), The Lizard, Porthleven, Helston, Gunwalloe Beach, Coverack (dog friendly beach), Porthoustock Beach (dog friendly), St Keverne, Upton Towans Beach (dog friendly) and Gunwalloe Church Cove Beach. It was an amazing location to visit so many places. There are a lot of dog restrictions on beaches (in the area), but we managed to track down a few that were ok, which was great. Mullion village is lovely too! We had a meal in the Old Inn Mullion, which was delicious. We did book, so would advise. We also tried a curry from the Cornish Curry Company (in the village), which we enjoyed. There is a CO-OP and Spar, which is all within walking distance of the accommodation. One night we even had a fantastic meal at the Polurrian Hotel! I would certainly recommend staying at this place. Lucy was so helpful in providing detailed information about the trip and accommodation. A fantastic trip!

Fabtastic location for coastal path walks. 20 minute walk into the village- The Galleon fish and chips are brilliant and we had a lovely dinner at The Old Inn. Also, you can go over the driveway to Polurrian Hotel for drink and use the spa. We found some aspects of the property a bit tired but every thing you beed for your stay. Could do with more hanging space for clothes is staying longer than a few days. The access to the secure garden was tiresom with our puppy - the patio door in the back bedroom is the only access to the decking area. Also, the decking is rotting in places so an outside light would be good so you could see your footing in the dark. We did find the bed very comfortable

Great location for coastal path walks!
Just got back from a fab holiday in Mullion. The property has everything you need and was so clean when we arrived! The main thing we loved about the property was the location, it is right on the coastal path, perfect for our dog. The views from the cottage are amazing, especially at sunset! We loved staying in Mullion as it’s quiet but has shops for essentials and places to eat. We went to the old inn pub a few times, great little place and very busy every time we went. Booking needed for the restaurant but if you can get a table in the bar or outside if the weathers nice, you can order food. Would definitely stay here again!

Wunderschön an der Küste gelegen
Das Haus ist klein und gemütlich, herrlich still und am Küstenwanderweg gelegen. Wir haben Pool und Gym des anliegenden Hotels sehr gern genutzt. Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche. Zwei kleine Verbesserungsvorschläge: Handtücher fürs Bad wären schön und das Sofa war für unseren Geschmack arg weich. Die Betten waren prima.

great holiday
This property is lovely - small but comfortable and very adequate for our needs. In a great location very close to the beach and the village and also the hotel. The only downside was that there were no bath towels provided. I don't have a problem with this but I didn't see it on the website so arrived unprepared. When I queried this with the owner she told me where I could buy some - which I didn't think was terrifically helpful - but the housekeeper very kindly dropped some round for us. It didn't spoil our holiday of course, but other potential guests bear this in mind.

Mullion Stay
Communication with Lucy is excellent, she is always quick to reply & so helpful! The cottage is small but cute and the location for Polurrian Cove is fantastic - this is a gorgeous quiet beach that my son absolutely loved. Mullion has a couple of pubs, and a decent local shop for supplies - there are bigger supermarkets in Helston if needed. Walks from the property are stunning & our favourite thing was to watch the sunset from the huge picture window- which was always stunning.

Wir haben den Aufenthalt in dem kleinen, feinen superschön eingerichtetem Haus, welches sich in perfekter Lage am Meer befindet, sehr genossen. Die Gegend ist bezaubernd. Das Klima ist hervorragend, auch wenn es bewölkt war oder nieselte, war es trotzdem angenehm mild (Juli/August) Der Kontakt mit den Vermietern verlief reibungslos. Sehr gern empfehlen wir das Häuschen weiter.

Perfekter Ort für einen wunderbaren Urlaub
Wir sind sehr froh, für unseren Urlaub in Cornwall Lucy Townsends Haus gewählt zu haben! Es ist genauso wie beschrieben: ausreichend groß für 4 Personen, bestens ausgestattet, bei schlechtem Wetter gemütlich, bei gutem hell und luftig. Die Lage ist wunderbar, der nächste Strand nicht zu überlaufen und sehr sauber. Die Nähe zum Hotel war sehr angenehm, die Kinder haben den Pool etc. gerne genutzt. Jederzeit wieder!!!

Super location
I visited with my adult daughter in September and we had a lovely visit. Lots of walking, swimming in the sea (be wary of the tides!) and exploring more of the Lizard, we had lots of sunshine and beautifully warm weather to help us enjoy all of that. Cottage is clean and very well equipped. The beds are extremely comfortable with nice fresh bed linens. The cottage is comfortable but is very small and I think we would have struggled if there were more people staying. The cottage is one of several in a row and the neighbors were all very friendly and felt like being in a nice little community! I had to contact Lucy about the hot water as I didn’t see the switch high on the wall in bedroom and she was incredibly quick to respond and very friendly and helpful. A lovely place to stay but I’d suggest going with people you know well and make the most of glorious Cornwall.

Fantastic Holiday
We all loved our week at this cottage, it had everything we needed, able to park right outside and the location was wonderful. The beach is a few mins walk down a path opposite. We used the pool in the hotel every day and sat in the bar and watched the amazingly sunsets in the evenings. We would love to come back again.

Perfect Location
The cottage itself was as per the description and immaculately presented. As a family of 4 we felt very comfortable and the location is perfect. A lifeguard beach is only a 20 min walk away and the nearest beach only 5 mins. Very quiet beach so don't tell anyone it exists! We didn't use the hotel as we were busy everyday so didn't have time. Places to visit all within 20 min drive so really good base. We are so pleased with this cottage we are already planning to rebook for next year.

Stunning location
We’ve just had a wonderful short week in the property. The location really is unbeatable. The hotel next door is friendly and has a beautiful garden with a stunning view. The beach is so close and very quiet. We took Lucy’s advice and had a barbecue down there one evening - it was idyllic. It was lovely to walk along the coastal path and find more beaches within a short distance. Kynance cove really is a gem! The property was clean and the beds are super comfortable. Just note that WiFi/4G is poor in the property. We had to go to the hotel and use theirs. Which, considering I went with a teenager, was probably a blessing as it got her out and off her phone! I would absolutely stay here again

About the host

Hosted by Lucy Townsend

Host profile image
I work and live in London with my husband, an architect, and our two boys aged, 13 and 10.

I spent my childhood holidays in Cornwall and have been bringing my two boys to Mullion and Polurrian Bay every year since they were very small. It was a chance encounter with the previous owner that enabled us to go ahead and purchase our own small part of this beautiful county.

We try and escape to Columbine as much as we can, and spent our first Christmas on the Lizard last year. It was incredibly relaxing to escape the hustle of London to be by the sea and enjoy a walk to Kynance Cove on Christmas Day and brave the Atlantic for the traditional Boxing Day swim at Polurrian Cove. If you don't fancy that then there's always the coziness of the cottage with a good book.

Why they chose this property

There is something for everyone on the Lizard whether it's the abundance of beautiful beaches dotted along the peninsula (Kynance Cove the gem), delicious food, surfing, walking the coast path, kayacking around Mullion harbour and beyond, sailing on the Helford river, wildlife, arts and craft or just pure relaxation.

The cottage lies adjacent to the coast path less than 10 minutes walk to Polurrian Cove. Rarely crowded this sandy beach offers surfing on your doorstep. We love to go down early evening in high summer with a beach barbeque and catch the last of the sun as the tide rolls in. Or blow the cobwebs away and walk to Poldu Beach, about a 15 minute walk, for an egg and bacon breakfast bap and "special" hot chocolate with cream and marshmallow. There is also the surf school.

What makes this property unique

Despite being the most southerly point of England, Cornish weather is always changeable. The cottage includes free use of the leisure facilities of the Polurrian Bay Hotel just metres away, including the tennis court (with views of Mounts Bay), indoor and outdoor pools, jacuzzi and gym. There is also a spa offering a range of treatments to treat and relax you on holiday. You can also take advantage of the informal yet good quality dining.

Mullion village is a short walk away and has a range of shops and fooderies to suit most of your needs including a well-stocked Costcutter and Spa (selling local produce) to bakery with home made bread and Cornish pasties, delicatessen, chemist, post office and the Atlantic Forge for your wetsuits and the latest beach necessity.
