The Oyster Bed is an exquisite choice for a coastal escape whatever the season, with super-stylish interiors, high vaulted ceilings and stunning views over Mawgan Porth beach and the ocean. In under a five minute walk you will find yourself on the beach where you can dip your toes in the soothing sea or surf the waves. Immerse yourself in the laid back atmosphere of one of Cornwall's most desirable hot spots, in one of the beach front cafes and restaurants, before returning to watch the waves and the sinking sun from the balcony. Finally, a restful night's sleep in the sumptuous beds.
A spacious, enclosed garden at the rear is ideal for enjoying lunch outside, whilst the reverse living gives you the best views from the living area. The well equipped kitchen with breakfast bar, is a fabulous sociable space, just made for spending quality time with family and friends and with bi-fold doors leading out to the balcony, this is the perfect spot for sipping a cold aperitif whilst watching the waves and the world go by.

We spent a lovely week at the Oyster bed in June 2021- it is an excellent property, well maintained and fitted out to a high standard. Contrary to the forecast, we had good weather all week. There are loads of things to do around and about in addition to the fabulous beach at Mawghan Porth, where we enjoyed a family surfing lesson. Go karting at St Eval is fun and Tintagel Castle is awe inspiring. Great fish and chips in Mawghan Porth and plenty of restaurants in Padstow. Crantock Beach just the other side of Newquay is a must.

Wow absolutely loved The Oyster Bed - in fact it was so good we booked again for next year on the second day of our break. Mawgan Porth is a favourite of ours so this accommodation really hit the mark on location and views. And the accommodation is lovely - would highly recommend!
