Description

On the Lizard Peninsula showcasing beautiful beaches, harbours and secret coves, Ridgeback House in Mullion makes a stunning base for family and friends seeking a retreat by the sea. This coastal village setting offers shops for provisions, inns and coffee houses, restaurants, craft shops and art galleries all within a short walk and the picturesque coastline entices you with hot-spot locations including Kynance Cove, Lizard Point and Polurrian Bay Beach.

Mullion harbour and fishing cove on the eastern side of Mounts Bay has a history of smuggling, and is just a four minute drive away. Enjoy a kayaking adventure or fish from the dinky quayside. Browse the art galleries and settle with a coffee before a ramble along the cliff top framing uninterrupted sea views. Lizard Point, the most southerly tip of the UK, boasts a unique landscape with lighthouse and brilliant ocean vistas. Ramble the circular coast path and spy the seals and dolphins.

Arguably one of the most beautiful beaches with white sands, aqua waters and dramatic cliffs is at Kynance Cove, a 20 minute drive away. Explore the interconnecting caves that appear at low tide, swim or picnic above the beach with sublime ocean backdrop. The beach café serves refreshment including locally brewed beer. Continue east to the traditional fishing village of Cadgwith Cove with two beaches and a popular pub for pit stops. Porthleven is a favourite with eclectic restaurants, galleries and little harbour. Nearby Poldhu beach is easily accessible and popular for families with sand, surf school and cafe. Tee off at the nearby golf course or watch the wildlife across the heathlands and nature reserve.

Ridgeback House makes a superb homestay with generous stylish accommodation for leisure and play. Socialise in the contemporary kitchen for cool cookery and foodie gatherings. The separate sitting room has a relaxed elegance with soft and soothing hues and comfy sofas. Four slumber-inducing bedrooms, a bathroom ad two shower rooms, one on the ground floor, deliver all the comforts of home. The enclosed garden sanctuary with summerhouse is made for siestas and sunshine, safe play, barbecues and tipples - all the ingredients to make a very memorable holiday!

Lovely house in a very convenient location, ample room for everyone.

Plenty of crockery and cooking utensils. The pool table was a great addition and kept the menfolk entertained.

My family and I have had a wonderful week at Ridgeback House, well equipped Kitchen, house just perfect for all 8 of us.

The pool table was a hit with the men. Ideal location, with shops within walking distance, and Mullion Cove 20 minute walk. Would recommend this house to everyone we know.
