Rebecca

Rebecca is a 2-bedroom apartment within the Mullion Cove Hotel and Spa complex, sleeping 4 across 2 bathrooms. The sea views and access to the shared swimming pool are the key amenities - combining two features that rarely appear together in south Lizard properties. A dishwasher and washing machine are included. Two well-behaved pets are welcome at £10 per pet, per day.

Mullion Cove Beach is 200 metres away - a small sheltered cove beside the National Trust harbour, one of the last working pilchard harbours on the Lizard. The harbour walls date from 1895 and protect a handful of fishing boats from the prevailing southwest swell. Polurrian Beach, a longer and more open sandy beach used for swimming and body-boarding, is 800 metres north. Poldhu Cove - where Marconi transmitted the first transatlantic radio signal in 1901 - is 1.2 miles, with an NT car park, cafe, and monument on the headland.

The Lizard peninsula itself is the southernmost point of mainland Britain. The coastal path between Mullion Cove and Kynance Cove passes some of the most varied cliff scenery in Cornwall - serpentine rock formations, wildflower-covered heathland, and coves with blue-green water. Helston is 5 miles inland with the annual Flora Dance in May.

This apartment is ideal for couples or small families who want both sea views and a pool in a well-managed complex, with beach access under 5 minutes on foot. It is less suitable for guests needing self-contained rural accommodation.

Mullion Cove gives direct access to the Lizard coastal path south toward Kynance.

Changeover is Saturday.
