Cabin in Cornwall: As you watch the sun set from the verandah of Gull Rock Cabin you'll be thinking that life can't get much better than this. Drink in the views and get away from it all with a stay in this spectacular coastal hideaway on Cornwall's rugged Lizard peninsula.

General

Tune out, switch off and let your batteries recharge by escaping from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This gorgeous cabin is completely tranquil, the perfect place to completely unwind. Gull Rock Cabin is miles away from the madding crowd - in fact, it's set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on cliffs within a nature reserve and facing west towards the magnificent Mount's Bay, one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Hidden down a secluded track (the owner's home at the end of the drive is the only house within half a mile) the very private cabin overlooks the bird sanctuary of Mullion Island, home to great black-backed gulls, guillemots, shags and cormorants, which you'll see wheeling through the skies above you on their way home to roost, along with buzzards, kestrels and possibly even peregrine falcons. Other wildlife is also in abundance, including seals and even basking sharks in the sea and, on land, foxes, badgers, stoats, rabbit and deer.

The cabin itself, timber clad and slate roofed, was built back in 1928, and has recently been carefully restored, with the renovation including many of the original timbers (believed to have been collected from local shipwrecks of almost 100 years ago). Inside, the open plan living space is light and bright, with a timber floor and floor-to-ceiling glazed doors that lead out onto an al fresco dining area. After dark, you can draw the curtains and snuggle up on the sofa with a good book or watch the latest box set on the smart TV. At one end of the room there's a bespoke galley kitchen, complete with oven, hob, fridge, microwave and even a washing machine (no mod cons spared in this well-equipped getaway), while at the other is a spacious dining table and chairs. The double bedroom is superbly calm and comfortable, and completing the picture is the high quality en suite bathroom, with corner shower, WC, basin and heated towel rail. For peace, quiet and the utmost relaxation, this really is the only place to be - and we reckon you'll never want to leave.

Out and About

From the dramatic South West coast path, a great way to explore the picturesque sites nearby, you can head to Kynance, Mullion or Polurrian for their sandy beaches, or try Poldhu Cove for its Marconi museum, surf school and café offering luxury hot chocolate. In Mullion there are shops, pubs and restaurants, and you can find live music at a number of pubs on the Lizard, or drive a little further to watch a play at the incredible outdoor Minack theatre at Porthcurno. If you're feeling active, try kayaking, paddle-boarding, windsurfing or coasteering locally - you know you'll have a welcoming retreat to come home to for a quiet evening afterwards.

Cosy remote cabin with stunning views & epic coastal walks. Watched some incredible sunsets from the bench outside & had lots of wildlife on our doorstep. An idyllic place to unwind!

We had a lovely week in the comfortable cabin in a fabulous quiet location with views to the sea. It is a really special place with easy access to the coastal path. The rough track did prove a challenge and we chose to walk rather than travel further afield by car.

Really lovely cabin with beautiful outlook and a feeling of isolation and seclusion, but still moments from the coast path. Perfect for a few days of rest and rejuvenation. Would recommend.

A beautiful cabin in an amazing location. Although the weather wasn't great during our stay, we managed to explore some lovely beaches and walks nearby, and enjoyed relaxing in the cozy cabin whilst we waited for the rain to clear! Very well equipped for self-catering and we enjoyed the biscuits and hot drinks that were kindly provided for our arrival. Thank you to the owner and to classic for a wonderful stay!

This was our first visit to Gull Rock Cabin . After staying at Teneriffe Farm nearby with our caravan in previous years we had seen this little cabin on our walks down the lane and vowed to go at some point as it looked idyllic, and it was just that, so peaceful and quiet with amazing views over mounts bay ,the cabin was beautiful and clean and very well equipped, yes the road is a little bumpy , but just take it slowly, it certainly is worth the bumpy ride . We would definitely hope to visit again . Thanks to the owner for the lovely flowers, tea ,biscuits milk and coffee .

This is an amazing opportunity to stay in the most wonderful location virtually on the SW coast path. The cabin is characterful, has been well renovated and equipped. It is ‘out of doors’ - but that’s its beauty. We didn’t find the access or parking a problem.

Gull Rock Cabin is in a very comfortable cabin in fantastic 'off the beaten track' location, with fabulous views over Mounts Bay and immediate access to the coastal footpath. A perfect base for exploring the beautiful and rugged Lizard peninsula or simply watching the local wildlife from the comfort of the living room. In addition to many sea birds we were lucky enough to frequently see a Peregrine Falcon as well as a stoat, both making the most of the abundant rabbit population, which also kept out dog well entertained!

We had a good week away walking and touring
However we did experience a couple of issues with the Cabin (which I point out were dealt with
quickly) but sadly we will NOT be returning to Gull Rock Cabin or recommending it to our friends

It's great to hear you had a good week away and the location good for walking. We're pleased to hear the owner dealt with your issues swiftly at the time. We'd love to welcome you back to any of our other properties in the future. Kelsey, Customer Support

We enjoyed the superb view and lovely remote location. Comfortable bed and good sized shower, and other facilities which are fine for two people. On the downside, the lighting is poor (too dim to read) and the wifi is slow and keeps dropping out.

We're delighted you liked the superb views and location of Gull Rock Cabin. We've shared your thoughts of better lighting with the owner for consideration when making improvements. Thanks for choosing Classic Cottages again. Kelsey, Customer Support

A lovely cabin with stunning views and lots of peace and quiet. I really enjoyed my stay there, one hint, take some teabags, there were only 2 left out when I arrived.

Reply from Unique Hideaways:

We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay - we agree, the views are spectacular. With all our self-catering properties, we ask for a welcome tea tray to be provided so you can have a much needed drink on arrival, but this wouldn't ordinarily include tea bags for the full duration of your stay. We do hope to welcome you back again in the future. Tanya, Customer Support

What a delightful place to stay. The views and sunsets were amazing. We enjoyed our walks and of course we had a very happy dog. We remembered the patriotic bunting to decorate the veranda ready for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. We had a lovely few days on the Lizard and the weather was great. Thank you to the owner for the flowers, biscuits, milk and tea etc.

Reply from Unique Hideaways:

Thanks so much for your lovely review. We're delighted you had a wonderful stay, including the dog! We bet the cabin looked great decked out in bunting for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. We very much look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kelsey, Customer Support

Great little cabin located in a beautiful, quiet location on the coast path. We visited in May 2022 when the wild flowers along the coast were fantastic.

Stunning location but hard to access and very tricky parking

Reply from Unique Hideaways:

We're so pleased that you enjoyed this wonderful spot. The clifftop location is accessed via an unmade, half mile long lane - this might feel a little daunting if you're un-used to it, but we hope you'd agree that its definitely worth it when you arrive! Tanya, Customer Support

If my dog could talk she would like to say a massive thank you. We had the most wonderful relaxing holiday in a cabin that was clean, welcoming and homely. It has everything that is needed for perfect self catering. Great outdoor space and garden furniture. The views are incredible lovely walks from the door with lots of gorgeous coves to explore.
A big thank you to the owner and housekeeper for maintaining such a safe Covid environment.
Just one small thing if you have a big car the parking space is ample but it’s very tight getting on and off due to the bend. Saying that it’s a most beautiful and incredible place to have a holiday.

The property was EXACTLY as described with a view with which one could never tire. We wanted remoteness for safety in these difficult times and it delivered. The owners deserve a special mention as they responded very quickly to the three queries we had. We knew they were about but they were never intrusive. Perfect!

A lovely place to stay with the most amazing views, the perfect place to sit and watch the sunset.
The cabin has everything you need for a home from home stay and the owner went above and beyond to sort out a problem we had with a broken water heater on a Saturday evening.

Just back from an amazing week at Gull Rock Cabin. It is such a peaceful and beautiful location, with a fantastic view and stunning sunsets. The cabin itself was well equipped, very comfortable and had everything we needed. Although we didn't see the owner due to Covid-19 she was very helpful answering all my questions on the local area with regards to shops, eating out, attractions etc. and made us feel very welcome. Our favourite beach in the area was Polurrian, nice and sandy, with great waves and well worth the walk down from Mullion village. We had fish and chips from Nettles in Helston and it was the tastiest I've ever had, so definitely worth travelling the extra miles to get it. We also had a curry from the village was very good too, so would recommend both of these takeaways. It was the perfect place for me to celebrate a special big birthday! Thank you so much for a fantastic holiday. Julie & Adam

We recently had a 1 week break at Gull Rock Cabin and loved every moment! The view was stunning and we enjoyed seeing all the wildlife in the garden. The owner was very helpful with any queries we had and resolved an issue we had with the water turning off very promptly and also supplied us with drinking water whilst the issue was fixed! We would definitely look to stay here again when visiting the South West in the future.

A beautiful little cabin, set in a beautiful amazing part of the world.
I was blown away with the beauty of this location. Set on the cliffs over looking the see, in a national trust park.
The cabin blends perfectly into its surroundings, in a great location to watch the sunset, At times I forgot I has in the UK.
If my dog could speak, she too would tell you how much she loved the cabin, it’s locations and the long walks along the cliffs.
Can’t wait to return.

We had a fabulous holiday. The location of the cabin, just 50 metres from the Southwest Coast Path, and with an uninterrupted view out over the sea, is superb. We loved being able to walk from the cabin either north along the coast to the sandy beaches of Polurrian and Poldhu or south to the dramatic cliff scenery and open heathland leading to Kynance Cove, famous for its white sands, turquoise water and serpentine rocks.

We visited in May and at this time of year the cliffs are swathed in wildflowers - bluebells, sea thrift, bladder campion, valerian and squill. We had wonderful weather too, blue skies and a cool breeze off the sea, perfect for walking.

The cabin itself is a delight. It's approached along an unmade road for about a third of a mile - we had begun to think we might have made a wrong turning when we rounded a corner and there was a fantastic view of the sea and the cabin. The owners have made excellent use of the space to create a light, airy and very comfortable place to stay and on arrival we were welcomed with milk in the fridge, Cornish biscuits and fresh cut flowers. As the cabin faces westwards you can open the French windows and enjoy an uninterrupted view of the sunset over the sea.

We've enjoyed many holidays in Cornwall but this was one of the best.

Me and my boyfriend have been on 3 other holidays through Classic Cottages over the past few years and although they have all been absolutely lovely, this place just tops them all! Unfortunately we could only stay for a long weekend - we would of loved to of been able to stay for longer! Everything about this property is perfect - it's spacious, clean, cosy, peaceful and the views are stunning!! There are a few walks right on your doorstep to explore which are amazing - you can see for miles on top of the cliffs! The owners have truly thought through all of the details with this property - We will definitely be back that's for sure!!

Such a relaxing location which is truly peaceful. The coastal path is on your doorstep (alongside some fantastic views out to sea) where you can see stunning coastal views. We walked for ages and even went swimming. The hosts were extremely welcoming and the cabin is super comfortable. It is quite away from everything so having a car or bikes can help to go to the pubs and restaurants easily. We enjoyed the walk however. It was a really relaxing break.

Wow - swimming in April! We did have fabulously hot weather for your stay, and it sounds as though you certainly made the most of the location. Thanks so much for sharing your experience, we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Tanya, Customer Support
