Shearwater is a splendid pet-friendly cottage in the village of Mullion, Cornwall. This property is perfect for a family getaway as it has gorgeous seaside views to admire from the hot tub and has plenty of onsite facilities such as heated swimming pools, a spa and a tennis court. Walk up the steps to finally enter your new holiday base. Meet the open-plan living space, which will be home to plenty of shared laughter during your stay. Pick either the two sofas or claim one of the armchairs to sit down as you officially launch holiday mode. Put on the flat-screen TV and find something for everyone to watch as you accustom yourself to your surroundings. Once the show is finished, use the electric oven and induction hobs in the kitchen to make something delicious. Either bring everyone around the dining table, or if the weather is kind enough, sit out on the garden terrace. After eating, go pick out some swimwear to have some fun in the onsite swimming pools. Dry off and relax in the spa or have some friendly competition on the tennis court. Wind down for the evening in idyllic fashion by going out onto the terraced garden when the sunset is knocking on the window. Have a dip in the hot tub and watch the waves with a drink in hand. When the stars start to twinkle, call it a night in the double bed whilst the kids fall in love with their bunk room. In the mornings, start the day off right with a soak in the bath or a shower before taking the morning brew outside. A shop is close by for any essentials, whilst a pub is on your doorstep for a drink. For an immaculate day out, go to the Polurrian beach for some seaside fun, take it to the next level with a kayak tour with Lizard Adventure or go on a family hike up Meres Cliff. Meet some funny sea friends in Helston by going to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, visiting the heritage Helston Railway line or taking in some fascinating exhibits at the Museum of Cornish Life. Further afield in Falmouth, there is a lot to do to keep everyone entertained.
