Bramble Cottage, Mousehole · sea-view holiday cottage above the harbour in Cornwall’s loveliest fishing village

Mousehole harbour, West Cornwall

Bramble Cottage – Holiday Cottage with Sea Views, Mousehole

A cottage for four in a prominent position above Mousehole, with every window looking over the harbour, St Michael’s Mount, Mount’s Bay and the Lizard.

Bramble Cottage is in the unspoilt fishing village of Mousehole, just three miles from Penzance, right on the coast path towards Lamorna. Its position is spectacular: all the windows look out over Mousehole harbour to St Michael’s Mount, across Mount’s Bay and on to the Lizard Peninsula.

A white-railed patio at the front is perfect for morning coffee with the view, and the lounge/diner has a large seated bay window looking down to the harbour below.

Bramble Cottage advertised on Cornwall Online from February 2011 to September 2015 and is no longer advertising on Cornwall Online, so this page is kept for reference. See other places to stay nearby in Mousehole, Newlyn and Lamorna below.

Inside Bramble Cottage

The cottage is all on one level apart from the second bedroom, which is downstairs. The lounge/diner has the big seated bay window, a TV, radio/CD player and a clearview wood burner for cosy out-of-season evenings – though with Mousehole on the Gulf Stream it is seldom needed. The kitchen also looks out over the bay.

The main bedroom has a double bed and, like much of the cottage, is half pine-panelled. A traditional steep cottage staircase leads down to the second bedroom with two single beds. Guests wrote that it “must be one of the most attractive seaside views in this country”.

Mousehole – Harbour, Coves & the Christmas Lights

Mousehole (say “Mowzel”) has a beautiful harbour with a small sandy beach and is still really quite unspoilt. The village has a grocery shop, fish & chip shop, newsagent, cafés, The Ship Inn and several good restaurants, and there is a frequent bus to Penzance. Newlyn, with the freshest fish and seafood you could want, is only a mile away.

From the cottage the coast path heads west past Lamorna Cove towards Logan Rock, Treen, Porthcurno and the Minack Theatre. At Christmas the harbour is lit up with the famous Mousehole lights, and Tom Bawcock’s Eve is celebrated with stargazy pie on 23 December.

Bramble Cottage & Mousehole – Frequently Asked Questions

No – Bramble Cottage is no longer advertising on Cornwall Online. See the places to stay nearby below, or browse holidays in Mousehole.

Yes – the coast path runs through Mousehole, west to Lamorna Cove (about two and a half miles) and on towards Porthcurno and Land’s End, and east along the shore to Newlyn and Penzance.

“Mowzel” – locals never say “mouse hole”. The name may come from the cave just south of the village, or from the Cornish Porthenys, “island cove”, after St Clement’s Isle.

Parking in the village is very limited, especially in summer. There is a car park on the harbour front when the tide allows and another on the hill above; the regular bus from Penzance is often easier.

The famous harbour lights are switched on each December and stay on until early January, with Tom Bawcock’s Eve celebrated on 23 December.
