Mullion Cove Hotel & Spa

It's no surprise that the views from the hotel's rooms and public areas are some of the best in Cornwall, up and down the rocky coast of the Lizard peninsula, and within easy reach of the South West Coast Path for further exploration.  The rooms vary from Standard (with no sea view)  to those with partial and full sea views, but all have comfy Vispring beds, Freeview TVs, tea- and coffee-making facilities and well-appointed en-suite bathrooms; and the most expensive 'Premier' rooms have gowns and slippers, mineral water and fruit and homemade cookies.  They also have a set of brand-new luxury  apartments nearby if you'd rather self-cater. The appropriately named Atlantic View restaurant serves great food, and has two AA rosettes to prove it, with a small changing menu of just 3 or 4 choices for each course and lots of fresh fish and seafood plus a superb local cheeseboard; and there's a stylishly old-fashioned bar that serves simpler dishes, sandwiches and burgers, and afternoon tea, which you can enjoy along with yet more stunning sea views,

The Mullion Cove has a new eco-spa, positioned on the cliff edge. The innovative build boasts three treatment-rooms, an outdoor wood-fired hot tub, seasonal heated swimming-pool, sun-terrace and lounge area, as well as an indoor hydrotherapy infinity pool, steam-room, sauna and post-treatment relaxation room. There are  also any number of recommended walks that you can do from the doorstep of the hotel – for example along the coast to Gunwalloe, or down towards the tip of the peninsula at the National Trust's Lizard Point. You could also visit the Helford river or the Cornish Seal Sanctuary on the other side of the Lizard, or indulge in a spot of surfing or sea-kayaking with one of the local adventure outfits, for example Lizard Adventure. The choice is yours,  safe in the knowledge that you have the comfortable and very cosy environment of the Mullion Cove to come back to at the end of the day.
