Trenance Farm Cottages, Mullion, The Lizard
Trenance Farm Cottages are a cluster of farm/holiday cottages situated just off the quiet road between Mullion village and Mullion cove on the Lizard Peninsula. The location of the cottages is superb as it's just five minutes' walk to the coastal path where you have spectacular views of the cliffs and coves and miles of wonderful coastal walking in either direction. There are twelve cottages ranging from one to three bedrooms and sleeping up to 6 people, each with their own small private garden. A private heated swimming pool is open to guests in the summer months and is in a lovely sunny spot within the gardens. There are a couple of games rooms with table tennis and pool table plus a badminton net and swing in a communal garden. Through the gate leads to a large field belonging to the family, where dogs can be exercised or children can run around.
Trenance Farm Cottages are open all year round. We paid a very reasonable £515 for a week in July for a cottage sleeping 6 people. If you can stay outside of the holiday season, cottages cost from £245. Dogs are welcome outside of the school holidays. We rented the Smithy Cottage which has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a dishwasher. As with all the cottages, there is a small garden outside with table and benches. We were fortunate enough to be able to dine al fresco in the sunshine most days of our stay and to enjoy dips in the swimming pool.
Close to the Trenance Farm Cottages are some beautiful sandy beaches and coves - our favourite was Poldhu Cove, just 5 minutes' drive from the cottages or a short walk along the cliff path. As well as the coastal walking and beaches, there is much to do in the area: visit the old lifeguard station at Lizard Point, the beautiful beach at Kynance Cove or the fishing villages of Cadgwith and Coverack. Its proximity to Mullion village means that it's just a 10-15 minute walk into Mullion village on an evening. We recommend the lovely Old Inn, with a large patio area to sit outside on summer evenings. Mullion village has a fish and chip shop, Italian restaurant, a post office, art gallery and shops, so everything you need. Trenance Farm Cottages make an excellent base for exploring the Lizard Peninsula and also the West of Cornwall as it's not far to drive to other areas such as Marazion for St Michael's Mount, or St Ives, only 40 minutes' drive away. Trenance Farm Cottages are ideal for couples or families looking to enjoy a relaxing holiday in an unspoilt countryside and coastal area on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall.
