Mullion

A real hub of activity, Mullion has cafes, pubs, craft centres and shops. The cove and harbour can be found a short walk away with access at low tide to the beach through a cave.

Enjoyable village in a fantastic location

We really enjoyed Mullion in our recent trip to the Old Chapel in March. It was quiet and not necessarily woken up for the tourist season, but we enjoyed that aspect. We particularly liked the Co-op on the road towards Mullion Cove for friendly essentials. We found the fish and chips at the Galleon to be excellent. The church is definitely worth a visit and we were touched by the obvious support for Ukraine at the church, and in fact throughout Cornwall. There are many amazing places and coastal scenery options to explore nearby, in the vicinity of the Lizard or slightly further afield such as St Micheal’s Mount. For our visit, we were very happy to stay on the Lizard. We loved the legendary hot chocs at Poldhu, and the wild beaches at Church Cove. Not sure if some of Poldark might have been filmed there!

Good base

It's small and unassuming, with a lovely local shop, but not much there other than a couple of pubs - the real draw is its proximity to the amazing coastline in this area. Poldhu beach is walkable, as are several others, depending on your mobility.

Mullion and Poldhu Beach

I have always enjoyed Mullion and this year was no exception. The Mounts Bay Inn pub is really nice inside and has a great menu. We enjoyed the beers on offer from the beer Festival they held and tried some great West Country beers that we hadn't even heard of before. The Atlantic Forge is great for wetsuits as they will really help you get the right size and offer a range of brands with slightly different cuts to them. Really worth a visit for the expertise. Poldhu beach is as great as ever and the Cafe offers pizza evenigs in the summer. Dan Jon is a superb surfing instructor with a really good manner with all age groups from a complete beginner aged 47 to my daughter (also a complete beginner) aged 14. My only hesitation about reviewing Mullion is that I don't want it to become the next Padstow; it is lovely as it is.
