Having just spent a lovely, relaxing two weeks at Cwary Vean, we have re booked for another week next year which is a testament to how much we have enjoyed our holiday. The cottage is situated a 5 minute walk from the closest beach and a 10 minute stroll from Mullion village which has shops, pubs, bakery, takeaways and a large park. Many other fabulous beaches and attractions are a short drive away. The cottage is very well equipped with everything in good order, very clean and is a good size. The owner lives on site and is very helpful and on hand for any advice but also discreet so we felt very private. The secluded garden allows safety for dogs (which are very welcome) and children and overlooks beautiful countryside. The lean-two conservatory includes a large open plan porch area complete with washing machine, freezer and additional storage for garden and BBQ implements (provided). We loved this holiday and would recommend to friends.Recommended for: Families with Young Children, Pet-friendly, Sightseeing, Age 55+, Romantic Getaway.

Thankyou Jonathon and Rachel, it has been a pleasure to have you, Harry (and Charlie) in the cottage for the last two weeks, we love it when our guests enjoy themselves the way you have. You are a lovely family and we are looking forward to seeing you all again next Spring. In the meantime we will work on your idea of a face book page for Cwary Vean-thank you for the suggestion.

his is our fifth holiday here with our dog Splash. When we pull up outside the cottage it's like coming home with the bonus of a warm welcome from Chris & Carol (owner) and Tilly (dog), who we always look forward to seeing and catching up since we last saw them. Chris really cares about his guests, but never intrudes, but instinctively is there when you need him and will go that extra mile to make sure you have everything you need. The cottage is so comfortable, clean and relaxing. It is tucked away in the most beautiful setting and yet only a 5 minute walk to Mullion village with all the amenities you could ever need. Great pubs, restaurants, post office, health center, vets, food store. There is so much on the doorstep to explore without taking the car out. The most dramatic scenery, and stunning sandy coves. We are always amazed that every time we come back here we discover something new. Everything about this place and its people has captured our hearts, our own piece of paradise without ever having to step on a plane.Recommended for: Families with Young Children, Pet-friendly, Tourists without a Car, Age 55+, Romantic Getaway.

Thank you Sue and Colin. We always look forward to your annual holiday too. It is a pleasure to see you both every year (and Tilly loves her 'nose to nose' chats with Splash). I am delighted the lovely weather again this September enabled you to enjoy so many of your favourite walks-and to discover some new ones too. See you next year!

Lovely cottage in a secluded location, perfect for escaping the crowds in these COVID times. Well equipped with all you will need on holiday and very clean with areas to store walking gear etc after exploring the coastal paths. Nice garden area to sit and relax with patio table and chairs. Short walk into the village up the lane or down to Polurrian Cove to watch the sunsets. Two pubs in the village and an excellent fish and chip shop, by far the best we've had in a long time. Many local walks and attractions to explore in an excellent location on the Lizard peninsula. We have visited several times and will continue to do so as it is the perfect base for our trip to Cornwall. We'll be back!

On arrival, we were warmly greeted by Chris and Tilly and shown where to find everything. The cottage is superbly located and just a few minutes walk from Polurrian Bay in one direction and Mullion Village in the other. We felt cosy and warm during our stay, the wood-burner was great on colder evenings and the conservatory on sunny mornings for breakfast. The Lizard Peninsular is full of spectacular coves and quaint Cornish fishing villages. The Cafe at the Lizard Lighthouse with its amazing views soon became a favourite. We would strongly recommend Cwary Vean to anyone thinking of a stay in Mullion, you will not be disappointed.

Thank you for coming to stay and for taking the time to write such a nice review for us. I think this early season part of the year has a lot to offer with the spring flowers in the hedgerows and the promise of Summer returning. We do seem to be lucky with our climate on this bit of the peninsular and Spring sunshine after the winter is just as welcome as our guests! Thank you -come again.

Super cottage with all amenities. Super spot. You could leave the car there all week there's so much walking on the doorstep. Fantastic.

We stayed at Cwary Vean for two weeks, from June 11th. This cottage is well situated within an area for visits to so many lovely places. Chris, the owner is a lovely friendly chap, who could not be more helpful.. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a very comfy bed. Already booked for September 2022.

This cottage is located in a lovely quiet location towards the end of a small lane with breathtaking cliff edge walks beyond. The beach is quiet and only 10 mins walk away. Mullion 15 mins walk with two convenience stores and curry van. Loads to do a short drive away. The cottage itself is homely and simple but has everything you need. Chris is a caring and helpful host. Highly recommended - if it’s not already fully booked!
What a great and lucky find! I have already stayed here two years running and would have stayed again this year if circumstances had allowed - however I am booked in for 2019! This is the perfect dog friendly cottage from which to explore Cornwall and the property itself is only a few minutes walk through sheep free fields to a perfect sandy cove - idyllic for early morning dogwalks or days on the beach in clement weather. There is plenty of parking and the cottage is spacious and very well equipped with a really useful entrance area for boots, dog towels, coats etc. It is centrally heated, so always warm, but there is also a large woodburning stove for cosy nights in - or days if you are a winter visitor like me! The beds are extremely comfortable and there is plenty of storage space in the bright rooms. Unusually for a cottage, the kitchen and living area is surprisingly spacious which is a bonus as the cottage sleeps four, so no falling over each other - or any pets! The walks either way along the headland to neighbouring coves are perfect, with stunning views and the village is within very easy reach for local shopping or visits to the pubs. Mullion itself is as quaint as only Cornish villages can be, but get in the car and you are within reach of wondrous places all over the Cornish peninsula with something to suit all ages and tastes, from Lands End and the Eden Project to Tintagel - and back via the Minack Open Air Theatre and a plethora of standing stones and burial chambers! Chris, the owner and his dog Tilly are exceptionally friendly, welcoming and helpful, without being in the slightest intrusive. He lives on site with his wife in the property next door and is a mine of local information should it be required. I would add that as a single woman I would feel very safe should I be staying there alone with this immediate access to the owners. I would also say book early - many people, like myself, are returning visitors which actually says it all!

My sister and I really had a good time at Cwary Vean at the beginning of October. The Cottage had everything it needs and was nice and cosy to stay in, it has a great location close to the beach, you can have a nice walk to Poldhu cove and Mullion cove closeby, and we felt safe and comfortable with Chris and Tilly next door to have a chat or to cuddle Tilly. Driving down to the Cottage between the typical narrow walls was a challenge for me at first but after two days it was no problem at all - and we didn't have the smallest rental car with our Vauxhall Mokka X! We explored a lot of Cornwall from here and drove to Lizard Point, Trebah Garden, Penzance, St. Ives, Polperro, The lost Gardens of Heligan and even as far as to the Eden Project and Fowley. It was our first trip to Cornwall and it certainly won't be our last! If we come again we'd love to stay in charming Cwary Vean again!

Thank you for coming to stay with us. We do try to make Cwary Vean somewhere that our guests feel at home-and it all seems worthwhile when we get happy people at the end of their stay and especially when they say they intend to return. As you said on the last day, there is so much to see and so many places to visit; even after all your trips and the lovely places you discovered there are still more awaiting you next time; you will both be very welcome whenever you want to come to stay again and we very much look forward to seeing you then!
