Carthew Mill Cottage

Carthew Mill Cottage is a two-storey cottage for two in the rural hamlet of Newbridge, near Madron and Penzance. Its single bedroom has a super-king-size bed that can be arranged as twins by request.

The open-plan kitchen and living area has a wood burner, and a conservatory with an exposed stone wall opens onto the fully enclosed garden. WiFi, parking and a dishwasher are provided, though there is no washing machine. Up to three dogs are accepted at no extra charge, with the enclosed garden well suited to them.

Eastern Green Beach is 3.7 miles from the property, Mousehole Beach is 4.3 miles away and Long Rock Beach is 4.5 miles away, all a short drive. Madron village, with the medieval Madron Well and its ruined healing chapel, is close by, and Penzance town centre - the promenade, shops and the Isles of Scilly ferry terminal - is a short drive or walk downhill from there. The coast path and the beaches of Mount's Bay are within two miles of Madron.

Twenty-one holidaycottages reviews give Carthew Mill Cottage a rating of 4.6 out of 5, with equipment scoring highest at 5 and cleanliness, comfort and location each at 4. Host Victoria manages the booking.
