Bramble Cottage

Bramble Cottage is a 2-bedroom cottage in Gwithian, on Green Lane close to the dune-backed beaches of St Ives Bay. The location puts miles of surf-friendly coastline within walking distance - Gwithian Towans is 0.7 miles away and Godrevy Beach 1.1 miles.

The cottage has one double bedroom and one twin, with a ground-floor bathroom containing a bath and shower over. The sitting room has an electric fire. A separate kitchen-diner is equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher. The dining room provides additional space for meals. A selection of books is available.

An enclosed garden with lawn, patio, and furniture wraps the property, and a private driveway offers parking for one car. Two well-behaved pets are welcome.

Gwithian Towans - a long stretch of golden sand backed by dunes with left and right-hand surf breaks - is the nearest beach, served by RNLI lifeguards in summer. Godrevy Beach, managed by the National Trust, sits further north with views of Godrevy Lighthouse, the inspiration for Virginia Woolf's novel. Porthkidney Beach is 3.2 miles to the west. The village has a campsite shop 0.3 miles away and a pub at the same distance. Hayle, with its harbour-side shops and the RSPB estuary reserve, is about 2 miles west. St Ives is roughly 5 miles along the coast road.

Nearby: Gwithian Towans (0.7 miles) and Godrevy Beach (1.1 miles). See our Gwithian guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for a couple or small family with two pets, given the enclosed garden and dishwasher-equipped kitchen. Less suited to guests needing step-free access, as the cottage has no accessible features.
