Mullion Cove Hotel

Mullion Cove Hotel & Spa is a 4-star hotel on the west coast of the Lizard, Cornwall’s most southerly peninsula, with sea views across Mounts Bay. Rated 9.3 out of 10 from 386 guest reviews, it sits directly on the South West Coast Path - the walk south to Lizard Point (the most southerly point on mainland Britain) starts from the hotel grounds.

Rooms have sea views across the bay, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel has a heated indoor swimming pool and spa, restaurant serving locally sourced food, and a bar. Dogs are welcome, and breakfast is included in most rates. Porthleven, the harbour town with well-regarded seafood restaurants, is 3.6 miles north along the coast path.

The coastal setting gives easy access to the Lizard’s key sites. Kynance Cove, known for its green-and-red serpentine rock formations, is about 3 miles south. The Marconi Centre - where Guglielmo Marconi transmitted the first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901 - is about 1.2 miles away. Poldhu Beach, a wide and sheltered sandy beach, is within walking distance. Helston town, with its Flora Day tradition dating to the Middle Ages, is roughly 6 miles north.

**Best for:** Couples or families who want a hotel base for exploring the Lizard and the west Cornwall coast path, with the comfort of a pool, spa, and restaurant on site. Dogs welcome. **Less good for:** Guests looking for a budget option or a self-catering setup - this is a full-service hotel with corresponding rates.
