Deborah
The Shed was the most beautiful property, the photographs really do not do it justice. It's in the perfect location with the beach just at the bottom of the road. The hot tub was used almost daily and was a huge bonus for us and our kids! Jodie and Ryan were both so helpful and lovely and we were made to feel extremely welcome.
Really lovely holiday apartment, great communication from the host. Had everything I needed. Many thanks!
This property is in a fabulous location, close to the village and beautiful Cornish beaches. 'The Shed' is spotlessly clean, packed with everything you could possibly need and very cosy. The hot tub was great and we would highly recommend this to family and friends. Thank you to the hosts who were welcoming and happy to help if needed.
The Shed was a wonderful homefromhome to stay in for our holiday. It was very well equipped with everything you needed for a lovely stay. The hot tub was amazing and well maintained. The little garden was a lovely space to sit in. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and allowed us to check in early, which was very kind and much appreciated.

Friendly and helpful hosts. Excellent location for seeing the sights of the area. The property was spotless, and well presented. The lovely welcome of a cream tea was much appreciated. The outside space was pretty and the hot tub was well maintained. We had a very relaxing stay.
We had a fantastic stay at The Shed in Mullion. The Shed is just perfect, spotlessly clean with everything you could need and more, lots of little things have been thought about and are provided, giving it the home from home feeling. The interior is modern and to a high spec. Great TV and package. Wonderful hot tub. The owners Ryan and Jodie are so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We had a wonderful cream tea on arrival which was a lovely unexpected touch. The area is beautiful and right next to the sea. We would highly recommend the accommodation and hope to visit again in the future. Thank you for being fantastic hosts and for and enjoyable stay.

We had an amazing stay at the Shed in Mullion! Spotlessly clean, facilities were amazing . Clean plates, mugs, glasses, utensils , everything needed! Hot tub was amazing and Ryan dealt with the chemicals and keeping it clean . Great location, plenty to do locally and easy driving to lots of places to explore ! We would love to visit again !!
Lynsey
We had a lovely stay at The Shed. It was smaller than I realised it would be at first but it was so comfortable and the hot tub outside was very much enjoyed by my husband, except on nights the weather was bad. The only issues are that Sykes listed the second bedroom as a double but it isnt its a twin and cant be made into a double because one bed is slightly lower than the other. The second issue was that the tv doesnt have any channels so you cant just pop something on whilst having food for example, but it is a Smart tv so you have most of the On Demand channels so it wasnt a huge issue. Jodie and her husband were very knowledgeable, they always replied to messages and popped over to chat if we were all outside at the same time. Everything was perfect and we would definitely return but in hopefully better weather.
Richard
Great week love the hot tub , brilliant location for costal walks highly recommend
Hayley
Weve just had a week at The Shed in Mullion. What a great week weve had. Perfect little cottage in a great location. Two great pubs within walking distance up in the village, we also watched the local cricket team twice. The Shed is only a few minutes to the beach where we had some stunning sun sets. The South West Coastal Path is only a few minutes walk away. We walked to Kynance Cove one day & Porthleven next, after both walks the massive hot tub was amazing on our aching legs. Great holiday & a great little find. Our hosts were very friendly & helpful. I would stay again and would highly recommend. Thanks guys.
Fantastic experience. Wonderful place. Great location. Superb hosts. Helpful and friendly, relaxed and knowledgable. Cant wait to go back.
Fantastic stay at a lovely property, we loved the hot tub too. Great hosts, our kids enjoyed playing with their children and we loved exploring the local areagreat beaches, visited Trebah gardens and St Michaels Mount which were both beautiful. Property had everything we neededwashing machine, bath, comfy beds, WiFi and smart tv etc a few extra hooks on the back of bedroom doors or in hallway for coatstowels would be handy though! and it was spotlessly clean when we arrived. We wouldnt often return to the same place but we love to come back here. We would definitely recommend to others, Thankyou for a lovely stay.
Lovely cottage, lovely host. We had balloons and a birthday cake on arrival for our children. The trip was excellent!
What an amazing Holiday it was our first trip to Cornwall and it could not have gone any better. The property was. Fantastic, Clean, and very well equipped. The hosts were brilliant and we would like to thank them for making our holiday absolutely perfect our children loved playing with their wonderful children and made some fantastic new friends we will certainly be going back again.
Very clean and comfortable. Owners friendly but not intrusive.Beautiful location to explore Cornwall ,many walks from the cottage .
Really lovely cottage and hosts. Had everything we could need.
Roxanne
Excellent hosts, bit out of the way without a car so a bus timetable might be of use. Rather difficult place to find but quiet and serene. Fabulous hot tub, he really does take care of it, great mattress and wonderful night sleep every night. Scrupulously clean and well kitted out. Might be worth noting the hosts have a top flat available too which looked magnificent.
Simone
Amazing location! What a beach just down the road. Such fabulous, welcoming and friendly hosts. Made us feel so welcome. Lovely cosy place with an amazing hot tub. I could not fault the place at all, exceeded expectations for our family. We didnt want to go home.
