Holiday Cottages in Mullion Cove, Lizard Peninsula

Mullion Cove is one of the most picturesque locations on the Lizard Peninsula, with its historic stone harbour nestled beneath towering cliffs and dramatic coastal scenery. Situated just outside Mullion village, the cove has a distinctive character shaped by its fishing heritage and exposed position on Cornwall's west coast.

The harbour was completed in the late 19th century to provide shelter for local fishing boats, and reminders of its past can still be seen in the old pilchard cellar and net store. Mullion Cove also has a colourful history of smuggling, with stories of smugglers and customs officers adding to its maritime character.

Today, the harbour is a wonderful place to explore, with fishing boats, a small tidal beach and views towards Mullion Island just offshore. The South West Coast Path passes above the cove, offering spectacular views along the rugged coastline and walks towards nearby Polurrian Cove and Poldhu Cove.

Refreshments are available seasonally near the harbour, while Mullion village, a short distance inland, offers shops, pubs, cafés and other useful amenities. The wider Lizard Peninsula is also within easy reach, including Kynance Cove, Lizard Point and numerous beautiful coastal walks.

With its historic harbour, dramatic cliffs and peaceful coastal atmosphere, Mullion Cove is a lovely setting for a Cornish holiday. Explore our selection of holiday cottages in Mullion Cove and the surrounding area, including properties with beautiful sea views.
