About this property
Residing in the seaside village of Mullion is the delightful cottage of Pencoys. With ample access to the Lizard Heritage Coast and boasting fabulous views of the Cornish countryside, Pencoys is a superb setting for a family of eight who want to get away from it all. Park your vehicles in the two handy off-road spaces before relishing the rural vista. Be welcomed into a pleasant living room where leather seating, Sky TV, a toasty woodburning stove, along with plenty of books and games await you. Progress through the charming home-from-home to the kitchen and dining room, a well-equipped space where the chef of the group can enjoy fixing up tasty dishes on the electric double oven; when dinner is ready, gather the group around the dining table and catch up about your coastal activities. The ground floor offers a double bedroom with shower room, and first floor hosts three bedrooms, one appealing double, one zip and link and a twin room that is ideal for children; the family bathroom is also situated on this floor, with a shower for you to enjoy a well-earned rest in, the cloakroom downstairs provides you with another basin and WC. Unwind on the terrace as your loved one works the barbecue, and your furry friends stretch their legs on the lawn below. The location of Pencoys is fantastic, with your amenities being under a mile away, venture into the village to grab your essentials, before savouring lunch at The Old Inn pub and sunbathing on the soft sands of Polurrian Beach. Pay the town of Helston a visit and learn of the region's history in the Museum of Cornish Life, enjoy the local shops and cafes, or take a stroll through the beautiful Cober Valley. Venture south to the settlement of Lizard and hike the South West Coastal Path to Lizard Point, paddle in the waters at the quiet Housel Bay Beach and tour the Lighthouse's Museum. Outdoors enthusiasts can partake in kayaking and canoeing in the region's waters with Vertical Blue Adventures, or travel to the Goonhilly Downs National Nature Reserve Walk to embark on walking and cycling trails. There is so much to experience with the family at Pencoys.
The peaceful village of Mullion rests on the south Cornish coast. A superb destination for those wanting to make the most of the British seaside, the village is home to Polurrian Beach and has access to the South West Coastal Path with its wealth of beaches and landmarks dotted throughout the trail. Visitors can enjoy delicious food with a pint at The Old Inn and Mounts Bay Inn, before grabbing their essentials from the convenience store and making the most out of the village's links to the Lizard Heritage Coast.
