Carn Du Cottage

Carn Du Cottage is a separate two-bedroom holiday cottage above Mousehole with panoramic views across Mount’s Bay. It sleeps four in two double bedrooms, with beds that can be arranged as twins, and has an open-plan sitting, dining and kitchen area, a wood-burning stove and Wi-Fi. One bedroom has a balcony, while the elevated position means every room looks towards the sea.

The location works well for guests who want Mousehole within walking distance but prefer to stay above the harbour. The owner describes the downhill walk into the village as roughly four minutes, although the return climb is noticeably steeper. Newlyn and Penzance sit further around the bay, while the nearby coast path leads west towards Lamorna; Porthcurno, the Minack Theatre, St Michael’s Mount and other Penwith destinations are practical day trips by car.

Booking details matter here. The cottage is generally offered by the week in high season, with shorter stays of at least three nights available in lower season, subject to availability. The outdoor pool belongs to the main house when the properties are rented separately, so cottage-only guests should not assume pool access. Up to two dogs may be accepted for an additional charge under the published rules, and anyone with limited mobility should weigh the attractive hillside setting against the uphill walk from Mousehole before reserving.
